With last week’s vote on A2270, New Jersey’s Assembly approved physician assisted suicide. Oregon, Washington and Vermont have also passed AS (Assisted Suicide) laws.

State courts in Montana and New Mexico have affirmed the rights to physician assisted suicide.

What’s wrong with that, you might well ask. If a person is terminally ill and wishes to end his or her suffering, why should this not be permitted?   Continue reading “Assisted Suicide—A Slippery Slope to Eugenics?”

Humans are Free – by Alexander Light

The shadow forces behind the New World Order (NWO) are following a slow-paced agenda of total control over mankind and our planet’s resources. David Icke coined it the “Totalitarian Tip-Toe,” because “they” are making very small steps towards our complete and definitive enslavement.

As a result, the masses remain relatively unaware of the fact that their liberties are being gradually taken away, while the power of the NWO octopus grows steadily.   Continue reading “These 13 Families Rule the World: The Shadow Forces Behind the NWO”

U.S. Airways became the first airline to ban a pig from flying, as it booted a woman and her service pig off one of their planes for being “disruptive.”

Apparently, the airline had not seen that nifty little GEICO insurance commercial where a pig was actually allowed to board and fly the friendly skies.

The woman in question brought along her 50-70 pound porker, but it seems their level of discipline was not up to the airline’s standards.   Continue reading “Oink! Oink! Service Pig Booted Off Airline”

It perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise that Officer Darren Wilson will not stand trial for killing Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. A new study shows police involved in fatal shootings are rarely charged with a crime.

Criminologist Philip Stinson at Bowling Green State University reviewed 6,700 incidents of police being charged with a crime. Of this total, Stinson found only 41 officers indicted over a seven-year period for either murder or manslaughter in connection with on-duty shootings. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported 2,718 justified homicides by law enforcement from 2004 to 2011, which was an incomplete count.   Continue reading “Most Police Shootings Don’t Lead to Prosecution of Police”

More than 10,000 Palestinian minors in the occupied West Bank and annexed Jerusalem have been held by the Israeli army for varying periods since 2000, a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) official said Wednesday, adding that 20 percent of those detained since June of this year are minors.

“Israel does not provide any immunity for children and regularly violates international agreements on children’s rights by humiliating and torturing them and denying them fair trials,” Issa Qaraqe, head of the PLO’s committee on detainees, said in a statement.   Continue reading “Israel Has Detained 10,000 Palestinian Children Since 2000”

Virtual reality is already being embraced for its entertainment value, as well as by the military and the scientific establishment. It is also a goal of The Singularity Movement to enable a full mind upload as we increase our merger with machines toward a path of supposed immortality.

However, scientists are beginning to study the effects of how virtual reality can impact one’s perception of themselves inside the virtual matrix, as well as a potential for transferred perceptions of those around them in the real world.   Continue reading “New Research Shows How Virtual Reality Shuts Down The Brain”

We congratulate Drs. Francis Collins and Tony Fauci and their teams at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on the first published results from Phase 1 clinical trials of a promising Ebola vaccine candidate. This candidate has shown initial promise to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus infection.

The outstanding work of the Department of Health and Human Services’ agencies — NIH, the centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Biomedical Advance Research and Development Authority — to conduct expedited vaccine trials is evidence of this Administration’s determination to mount an aggressive, whole-of-governement response to the Ebola crisis.   Continue reading “White House Press Secretary: Clinical Trial Results of a Promising Ebola Vaccine Candidate”

PHOENIX (AP) — If Christian Avila lived a few hundred miles to the west, he would have a driver’s license and qualify for in-state college tuition and a host of other opportunities available to young people granted legal status by President Barack Obama two years ago.

But Avila lives in Phoenix, and the 24-year-old immigrant who was brought here from Mexico by his parents at age 9 still has to navigate the sprawling city in fear as he drives to school or work.   Continue reading “Immigrants’ chances tied to their state’s policies”

There’s no dangerous dogs any more than there’s dangerous guns, it all depends on the human handling either one.

Sacramento Bee: When the new Legislature is sworn in on Monday, Sen. Ricardo Lara says he plans to introduce legislation that would create an Office of New Americans to help undocumented immigrants illegal aliens by connecting them to legal services, English classes and help applying for relief under the executive actions announced last week by President Barack Obama.

Obama’s plan is expected to affect at least 1.5 million undocumented immigrants illegal aliens in California, and many have questions about how to file paperwork to be considered for relief, said a statement from Lara, a Bell Gardens Democrat who chairs the Legislature’s Latino Caucus.   Continue reading “California lawmaker proposes office to aid immigrants seeking relief under Obama plan”

Why is Black Friday called “Black Friday”?

Seems pretty simple – it’s the day retailers go “into the black,” or turn a profit for the year.  But it turns out the term has a darker, less happy origin.

In 1966, Black Friday was the name the Philadelphia Police Department gave to the Friday after Thanksgiving.  The police hated the day — massive traffic jams, overcrowded sidewalks, lots of shoplifters — all because downtown Philly stores were filled with shoppers taking advantage of the first holiday sales.   Continue reading “Black Friday’s Dark Origins”
