RENO, Texas — A Texas hamlet shaken by its first recorded earthquake last year and hundreds since then is among communities now taking steps to challenge the oil and gas industry’s traditional supremacy over the right to frack.

Reno Mayor Lyndamyrth Stokes said spooked residents started calling last November: “I heard a boom, then crack! The whole house shook. What was that?” one caller asked. The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed that Reno, a community about 50 miles west of Dallas, had its first earthquake.   Continue reading “Texas Towns Test Oil and Gas Supremacy on Fracking”

Patriot mythology occurs when an assumption or rumor is publicized, and people accept it as truth without fact checking, because it fits in with their prejudices and pre-conceived notions.

Case in point — the notion that George Soros has bought up munitions companies. This was reported a couple of years ago in a net publication called The International Forecaster, published by Bob Chapman, who died this year. It was reported specifically as a rumor, that Soros had bought Remington and other companies through a holding company.   Continue reading “Cerberus Info: Connecting the Dots”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — President Barack Obama’s executive order to spare some immigrants from deportation has galvanized Democrats, immigration groups and health care advocates in California to push for expanding health coverage to a segment of the population that remains uninsured.

The president’s action excludes immigrants who came to the country illegally from qualifying for federal health benefits. But California has its own policy of providing health coverage with state money to low-income immigrants with so-called “deferred action” that allow them to avoid deportation. Immigrant and health care advocates say that means Obama’s executive order will enable hundreds of thousands of low-income immigrants in California to apply for Medi-Cal, California’s version of Medicaid.   Continue reading “California pushes to expand immigrant health care”

Last week, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved draft legislation to amend the country’s Basic Law to declare that Israel is “the national homeland of the Jewish people” instead of a “Jewish and democratic state,” as it had been since the state’s founding in 1948, he had to tamp down criticism that the law codifies discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel—20 percent of the country’s population.

“There are those who would like the democratic to prevail over the Jewish and there are those who would like the Jewish to prevail over the democratic,” said Netanyahu. “Both of these values are equal and both must be considered to the same degree.”   Continue reading “Israel’s Foreign Minister Wants to Pay Israeli Arabs to Leave”

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is expected to release on Wednesday a contentious and long-delayed environmental regulation to curb emissions of ozone, a smog-causing pollutant linked to asthma, heart disease and premature death.

The sweeping regulation, which would aim at smog from power plants and factories across the country, particularly in the Midwest, would be the latest in a series of Environmental Protection Agency controls on air pollution that wafts from smokestacks and tailpipes. Such regulations, released under the authority of the Clean Air Act, have become a hallmark of President Obama’s administration.   Continue reading “Obama to Introduce Sweeping New Controls on Ozone Emissions”
