Months after the U.S. Supreme Court made it more difficult for prosecutors to prove bribery by a public official, a longtime Pennsylvania congressman, a former Virginia lawmaker and others are relying on the decision to challenge their convictions.

Former U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah and former lawmaker Phil Hamilton may be among the first but are likely not the last defendants to invoke the Supreme Court’s decision in June that overturned the bribery conviction of former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell.   Continue reading “Ex-Officials Use Court Ruling to Attack Bribery Convictions”

The Swiss Federal Tribunal, Switzerland’s highest court, ordered Israel to pay $1.1 billion plus interest to Iran in a decades old dispute over a secretive oil pipeline  predating Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution. The verdict was dated June 27, while media broke the story late last week.

Until the Islamic revolution and the fall of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979, Israel and Iran maintained close ties. In fact, after the Six-Day War (1967 Arab-Israeli War), Iran supplied a large part of Israel’s oil demand while Israel returned the favor.   Continue reading “Israel Loses Secretive Oil Pipeline Case To Iran, Ordered To Pay $1.1 Billion Plus Interest”

From insomnia and candida to joint pain and allergies, countless health problems plagued my life. My allergies were so bad that I was not able to eat the same food within a 72 hour time frame.  I struggled with a wide range of health issues throughout my life, and I am sure I am not the only one. Mainstream medicine did not help my problems, and I initially switched from using medication to natural substances, in an attempt to control my symptoms and regain health. Eventually, I had cabinets full of supplements and a restrictive diet that made me feel like a prisoner, since I was so afraid of what I could eat.  Taking minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, did actually medicate or help certain symptoms I had, but caused other problems in return.   Continue reading “Hair Analysis Information”

Moonshine Stills – by  Jonathan Zajac

The copper moonshine stills my dad taught me to build could save the world.  It is my opinion that every house in the world needs to own one of my units.  The reason being that these units are a tool for survival.  It would be a shame to be left unprepared. My copper stills are for more than just moonshine. The still could actually save your life.  Imagine if a tanker truck crashed into your reservoir, unleashing 20,000 gallons of some shitty acid into your drinking water.  Does this sound like something that would never happen?  Well, it did a couple years ago in west Virginia so I’m not going to risk it.   I’m not going to fool around when it comes to protecting myself and my friends and family.  The still is worth its weight in gold, which at today’s market value is roughly $457,000. I would say that sounds about right.    Continue reading “Why I Think Moonshine Stills Could Save The World.”

Never has a man been so slandered and so misunderstood…a patriots patriot who was slandered, harassed, imprisoned and vilified by the Jewish power elites and their gentile lackeys. Ezra, a Jew, understood who was the destroyer of the gentiles and humanity. The Jews hated him and will eternally vilify the Truth. All great men will pay the price, their souls cannot be bought for 30 pieces of silver.

Newly released emails reveal President Obama’s Justice Department rejected the FBI’s request to investigate the Clinton Foundation’s relationship with the State Department.

The FBI asked the DOJ to open an investigation into a potential pay-for-play relationship between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation, which spends a very small fraction of its funds on actual charity work, but the DOJ wasn’t interested — saying it had tried and failed to probe the organization in 2015, CNN reports.
