In the U.S., they’re collectively called everything from “attorney” to “lawyer” to “counselor.” Are these terms truly equivalent, or has the identity of one been mistaken for another? What exactly is a “Licensed BAR Attorney?” This credential accompanies every legal paper produced by attorneys – along with a State Bar License number. As we are about to show you, an “attorney” is not a “lawyer”, yet the average American improperly interchanges these words as if they represent the same occupation, and the average American attorney unduly accepts the honor to be called “lawyer” when he is not.

Researchers have determined that the health risks taken on by artisanal, small-scale gold miners extend far beyond the miners themselves.

Based on a study of gold-mining operations in Peru, the miners’ practices not only contaminate local soil, sediment and water resources with mercury, they create hazardous levels of the neurotoxin in the food chain at least 350 miles downstream.   Continue reading “Mercury from Gold Mines Accumulates Hundreds of Miles Downstream”

The Clinton Foundation said late Wednesday that it will continue to accept donations from foreign governments during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, despite concerns that such gifts will create a conflict of interest for the Democratic front-runner.

The foundation’s board said that donations directly to the foundation would only be allowed from six governments — Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. However, other governments could continue to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), a subsidiary program that encourages donors to match contributions from others to tackle international problems without direct donations to the charity.    Continue reading “Clinton Foundation to keep accepting donations from foreign governments”

Judicial Watch

Responding to Judicial Watch’s report earlier this week of ISIS activity along the Mexican border, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) supervisors called a “special” meeting at the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez.

A high-level intelligence source, who must remain anonymous for safety reasons, confirmed that the meeting was convened specifically to address a press strategy to deny Judicial Watch’s accurate reporting and identify who is providing information to JW. FBI supervisory personnel met with Mexican Army officers and Mexican Federal Police officials, according to JW’s intelligence source. The FBI liaison officers regularly assigned to Mexico were not present at the meeting and conspicuously absent were representatives from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It’s not clear why DHS did not participate.   Continue reading “FBI Holds “Special” Meeting in Juárez to Address ISIS, DHS Not Invited”

Military Bulletin Labels Patriot Groups, Militia 'Domestic Terrorists'Infowars – by Kit Daniels

A military bulletin called patriot groups and the militia “domestic extremists” who may launch terrorist attacks, a claim which follows a trend by the government to demonize libertarians and constitutionalists.

The bulletin, an e-mail from a U.S. Coast Guard command security officer which was leaked to Infowars, lumped militia members and patriots with “white supremacists” and claimed they may launch terror attacks on April 19th because it is a “significant date to domestic extremists.”   Continue reading “Military Bulletin Labels Patriot Groups, Militia ‘Domestic Terrorists’”

Perry Allen examines some trash his dredge pulled from the bottom of the Rogue River. Mail Tribune / Bob PennellMail Tribune – by Mark Freeman, June 29, 2014

Perry Allen emerges from the Rogue River and pulls off his goggles and breathing apparatus to see what 15 minutes of sucking rocks and sand from the riverbed has earned him.

He turns his suction dredge motor off and pulls back the dredge’s sluice box cover to reveal a sludge of dark sand and rocks filtered to the bottom. He tosses a fistful of the muck into a large green pan.   Continue reading “Background on Josephine County mining: An end to dredge work?”

Mail Tribune – by Thomas Moriarty

The co-owner of a Josephine County mining claim at the center of a land-use dispute with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management says an armed security presence by members of the Oath Keepers movement has “taken on a life of its own,” and he is pleading for calm after supporters apparently phoned in threats to BLM employees.

“We don’t need any more volunteers, we’re not under attack, this is not the Bundy Ranch,” said Sugar Pine Mine co-owner Rick Barclay. “Please stop calling the BLM and threatening their personnel.”   Continue reading “Sugar Pine Mine co-owner: “Please stop calling the BLM and threatening their personnel””
