With the United States government mobilizing to live up to expectations that it would eventually find justification for the bombing, destruction, and occupation of Syria, those of us who’ve overcome the fear propaganda of the security state are forced to watch in unspeakable sadness as the resources of this nation are again stolen by our geo-political chess masters. The institutions that we so faithfully support with our tax dollars are once again demonstrating their disinterest in serving us, opting instead for blood in foreign lands, off on some veiled agenda of the elites, leaving America to toil in ruin. The expenditures of the American war machine are totally insane. Continue reading “3 Things More Critical to Americans Than Bombing Syrians”

On Wednesday, a week after initial consideration, Japan’s nuclear regulator made the decision to move the situation unfolding at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant from a level one “Anomaly” on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES), to a level three “Serious Incident”.
Last Monday Tokyo Electric Power Company announced that 300 tons of radioactive water had leaked from a storage tank into the ground. The situation at the time was given a level one on the INES. Continue reading “Fukushima Leak Finally Given “Serious Incident” Status”
The United States restated Tuesday that it means to drive Bashar Assad from power in Syria, but denied it would use potential U.S.-led military strikes in response to his forces’ alleged chemical weapons attack to do so.
“I want to make clear that the options that we are considering are not about regime change,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing. “They are about responding to clear violation of an international standard that prohibits the use of chemical weapons.” Continue reading “U.S.: Not trying to take out Assad with Syria response”
Later this year, Comet ISON will pass through the asteroid belt, enter the Inner Solar System and sidestep Mars on its way past Earth, putting on what scientists expect will be a spectacular heavenly show that is not to be missed.
Comets offer one of the most spectacular celestial scenes the unaided human eye can see. By November or December, ISON is expected to be brighter than a full moon. Some believe it will be up to 15 times brighter. Continue reading “Comet ISON..Harbinger?”

It’s not news that Time magazine uses different covers for its different regional editions, but it’s only when you gather them all together — so you can see what Europe and Asia read in Time compared to what Americans read in Time — that it becomes clear how insular the U.S. edition of Time is.
If you live abroad, the current edition of Time features a dramatic picture of an Arab rebel wearing a gas mask under the headline “Revolution Redux.” In America, we got “Why anxiety is good for you”: Continue reading “These Time Magazine Covers Explain Why Americans Know Nothing About The World”

A group of activists were arrested while conducting a peaceful protest on an overpass.
One of the activists arrested made the following post to their YouTube channel:
Two patriots are arrested for not obeying an officer and one was also charged with resisting arrest. Did he resist arrest? You be the judge. Oh, and one more thing, they never read us our Miranda Rights. We spent 24 hours in the St. Charles Count Jail with Missouri Hwy Trooper Jenkins acting as judge, jury and executioner.

An Ohio man expected the gun safe he ordered online to be empty, police said.
But instead, he found $425,000-worth of tightly wrapped marijuana bricks inside.
“I’ve been in law enforcement for 47 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Shelby County, Ohio, Sheriff John L. Lenhartsaid. “It’s quite effective if you think about it: wrapped airtight to withstand high temperatures. Drug-sniffing dogs probably couldn’t smell it.” Continue reading “Ohio Man Orders Empty Gun Safe, Finds 300 Pounds of Pot Inside”
After trying to apply for a customer service job at eBay in my area and reading their privacy policy, I have to wonder, which part is private? Needless to say, I didn’t apply to them after reading this and even though I have never done business with them, I will most certainly never do business with them in the future as well.
I urge others to read eBay’s privacy policy and tell me exactly which part is private? My thoughts on each of the subject headings are highlighted in bold underneath the paragraphs. Continue reading “eBay’s Privacy Policy is actually Public Policy”

A BP (BP) refinery in Indiana will be allowed to continue to dump mercury into Lake Michigan under a permit issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
The permit exempts the BP plant at Whiting, Ind., 3 miles southeast of Chicago, from a 1995 federal regulation limiting mercury discharges into the Great Lakes to 1.3 ounces per year.
The BP plant reported releasing 3 pounds of mercury through surface water discharges each year from 2002 to 2005, according to the Toxics Release Inventory, a database on pollution emissions kept by the Environmental Protection Agency that is based on information reported by companies.

The ATF has settled a claim from the landlord of the building where the agency ran a troubled undercover sting in Milwaukee last year, leaving behind broken doors and walls, unpaid utility bills and damaged carpeting from an overflowing toilet.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives closed its phony store, called Fearless Distributing, in October after an agent’s guns, including an automatic machine gun, were stolen from his vehicle. Then, the storefront was burglarized of $40,000 in merchandise. The stolen machine gun remains missing.
The landlord, David Salkin, asked the ATF to pay to cover damage to the building and unpaid utility bills. ATF supervisors in Milwaukee and regional headquarters in St. Paul refused. Continue reading “ATF settles with landlord after flawed sting”

Imagine the U.S. with so much crime and so much hatred that in order to reduce the crime rate to 1%, the government allowed the people one night every year to purge their anger and frustrations by making it legal to kill, massacre and torture anyone they want and get away with it.
Imagine during that time, no emergency services such as police, medical or fire departments would be running and basically your country is in a state of total anarchy and you are on your own, in hopes that anyone you had pissed off in the past year will not come and kill you. Continue reading “Imagine the Purge”
