ANCHORAGE (KTUU) – Alaska’s most active volcanoes sit far from the state’s population centers, and often spurt ash or steam, but for pilots in the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutians, a sighting of a volcano isn’t out of the ordinary.

Captain Joe Timmreck, who flies for Ace Air, captured dramatic video of lava flows on the side of Veniaminof Volcano in Southwest Alaska Wednesday. Timmreck says he and his copilot Nicholas Huling were flying a usual route between Anchorage and Sand Point when they caught sight of the lava flows. With Huling’s help flying, Timmreck was able to capture more than three minutes of footage of lava flows making their way down the side of the remote mountain.   Continue reading “Lava spews from Veniamanof Volcano in Southwest Alaska”

While there is speculation of foul play with Nick’s death, right now we only know that Nick had been healthy and was taken away from us very suddenly.

Nick did a great deal of damage to the jewish power structure with his well-researched and insightful shows, especially exposing right-wing controlled opposition. He will be greatly missed.   Continue reading “RIP Nick Spero – Another Renegade Broadcaster Has Died”

History Matters

The most famous speech in American political history was delivered by William Jennings Bryan on July 9, 1896, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The issue was whether to endorse the free coinage of silver at a ratio of silver to gold of 16 to 1. (This inflationary measure would have increased the amount of money in circulation and aided cash-poor and debt-burdened farmers.) After speeches on the subject by several U.S. Senators, Bryan rose to speak. Continue reading “Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” Speech: Mesmerizing the Masses”
