McDonald’s is using its latest commercial to try and prove that its food can overcome even the most storied of hatreds. After all, we all know how much the Wicked Witch hates Dorothy, or how the Democrats and Republicans simply cannot get along.

Well, apparently their food is so good that archenemies – also the title of the commercial – such as Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees are ready to put aside their differences just so that they can share some chicken nuggets and dipping sauce. Hell, even King Kong doesn’t have to worry about scaling the Empire State Building when McDonald’s has its way!   Continue reading “You’ll Never Guess Who’s In This McDonald’s Commercial.. Freddy Vs. Jason?”

Randy Wymore, Ph.D., a medical school professor at Oklahoma State University at Tulsa who has become an unexpected champion of the Morgellons community. He was doing an Internet search on muscle fibers in the spring semester of 2005 when he stumbled onto a Web site discussing a fiber disease. Intrigued, he read for a moment, thought it seemed crazy, closed the link and went back to his other work. But the topic nagged at him, and a few days later he called up the search again.   Continue reading “Morgellons Disease; Where is the Research? Where is the CDC?”

History Lesson: America Is the Same ‘Ol Oligarchy It Was over a Century AgoTruthstream Media – by Aaron Dykes and Melissa Melton

When Americans see charts like this one which illustrate that virtually all the food on grocery store shelves basically comes from no more than 10 megacompanies, or hear statements like this one from our own Attorney General Eric Holder who told the Senate Judiciary Committee that some banks are just too big to prosecute, or check out studies like this one out of Princeton which openly declare we are not a democracy but an oligarchy…it’s kinda hard to believe we aren’t an oligarchy (because we are).   Continue reading “History Lesson: America Is the Same ‘Ol Oligarchy It Was over a Century Ago”

American Flag Doormat - Video ScreenshotEnd of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder

In Russia, shopping malls are putting out American flag doormats for people to wipe their feet on, and there are stores that are selling toilet paper with the American flag imprinted on it.  Surveys show that Russian attitudes toward the U.S. are now even worse than they were during the end of the Cold War, and ordinary Russians are blaming America for everything from the overthrow of the Ukrainian government to the collapse of the ruble.  The Russian government has just authorized a new military doctrine which identifies the United States as a top threat, and commentators on Russian television are using extremely strong language to condemn the United States.  In fact, one of the most prominent Russian commentators has referred to the United States as “the kingdom of the Antichrist“.  To the Russians, a new Cold War has erupted, and they very clearly view the United States as enemy number one.   Continue reading “This Is How Much Russians Hate America…”
