COLORADO SPRINGS — Here’s something new to add to the lexicon of computer commands: CTRL + ALT + UNLOAD.
Sick and tired of an uncooperative PC, Lucas Hinch of Colorado Springs took matters into his own hands. He took a gun too.

For the first time in US history, a judge has decreed that a pair of chimpanzees held at a university research facility are covered by the same laws that govern the detention of humans, effectively rendering the animals as legal “people” in the eyes of the law. New York Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe said that the apes, held at Stony Brook University for research purposes, are covered by a writ of habeas corpus — a basic legal principle that lets people challenge the validity of their detention. Continue reading “Judge gives chimpanzees human rights for the first time”

Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder
If a major financial crisis was approaching, we would expect to see the “smart money” getting out of stocks and pouring into government bonds that are traditionally considered to be “safe” during a crisis. This is called a “flight to safety” or a “flight to quality“. In the past, when there has been a “flight to quality” we have seen yields for German government bonds and U.S. government bonds go way down. As you will see below, this is exactly what we witnessed during the financial crisis of 2008. U.S. and German bond yields plummeted as money from the stock market was dumped into bonds at a staggering pace. Well, it is starting to happen again. In recent months we have seen U.S. and German bond yields begin to plummet as the “smart money” moves out of the stock market. So is this another sign that we are on the precipice of a significant financial panic? Continue reading “Guess What Happened The Last Time Bond Yields Crashed Like This?…”

If physical silver’s Arch Nemesis is suddenly stockpiling silver barsat a pace that is only rivaled by the NATION of India, it’s only because the system itself has run its course, and there is nothing left to steal.
As I have long stated, I expect the big “escape” of silver’s price to only occur once their system is done.
So what does this bank know that has caused it to suddenly start stockpiling silver like there’s no tomorrow?? Continue reading “Why is this Bank Stockpiling Silver Like There’s No Tomorrow?”

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.
