Tom Dispatch – by Tom Engelhardt

How the mighty have fallen.  Once known as “Obama’s favorite general,” James Cartwright will soon don a prison uniform and, thanks to a plea deal, spend 13 months behind bars.  Involved in setting up the earliest military cyberforce inside U.S. Strategic Command, which he led from 2004 to 2007, Cartwright also played a role in launching the first cyberwar in history — the release of the Stuxnet virus against Iran’s nuclear program.  A Justice Department investigation found that, in 2012, he leaked information on the development of that virus to David Sanger of the New York Times. The result: a front-page piece revealing its existence, and so the American cyber-campaign against Iran, to the American public.  It was considered a serious breach of national security.  On Thursday, the retired four-star general stood in front of a U.S. district judge who told him that his “criminal act” was “a very serious one” and had been “committed by a national security expert who lost his moral compass.” It was a remarkable ending for a man who nearly reached the heights of Pentagon power, was almost appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and had the president’s ear.   Continue reading “Knowledge Is Crime”

water-fluoridation-1Global Research – by Joachim Hagopian

There is no greater natural resource on this earth than water. As the sustenance of all life, water keeps every living and breathing organism, every plant, every animal and every human being on this planet alive. In the same way that without air to breathe, without water we humans cannot sustain life for more than a few days.

Due to widespread drought and increasingly polluted water systems, the projected availability of clean freshwater in years to come to meet the rising demands of a growing global population is among the most daunting human challenges of this century. By 2015 a 17% increase in global water demand is projected just for increasing agriculturally produced food. By the same year 2025, the growing global population will increase water consumption needs by a whopping 40%. While oil played the keenly critical role during the twentieth century, water is being deemed the most valued precious natural resource of the twenty-first century.   Continue reading “Privatization of Water as an Owned Commodity Rather Than a Universal Human Right”

Like pieces of a puzzle, Kansas City police used tips about an erratic driver, a fingerprint from a plastic bag of shell casings and a bullet from a house that was shot last year to link Mohammed Whitaker, 27, to a series of recent highway shootings.

Jackson County prosecutors on Friday announced 18 felony charges against Whitaker involving nine separate shootings. Two of the charges relate to cases in which victims were wounded. In each case, police recovered, tested and matched spent .380-caliber bullets.    Continue reading “KC Highway Shooting Suspect Arrested and Charged”

“Common Core will be raising good little socialists, who are in tune with their feelings, not so much their critical thinking skills.”  – Author unknown

I have seen many educational fads come and go, trying to replace teaching methodology in our public schools with something so revolutionary and never tried before that would make teaching a “science” instead of an art and to place all children into a national standardized one mold fits all in spite of the human variability in intelligence, talent, aptitude, ability, and the desire to learn. All these fads were driven by the Department of Education’s intention to fund new research that justified its existence and the college professors of education who were under the threat of “publish or perish” when it came to obtaining the very sought-after tenure – life employment without dismissal for cause. Education grew more and more liberal, infusing non-science subjects with Chavezism, Castroism, Maoism, Stalinism, feminism, racism, socialism, and communism.   Continue reading “Teach Common Sense not Common Core”

Chicken1-300x199Prepper Fortress – by WOLF GRULKEY

In the event of a collapse, water, shelter, food and fuel are the most basic of necessities.  As most of us who have put some thought into this have at least these bare minimums.  A good water supply and a way of filtering a not so good water supply.  A location that provides shelter from the elements and safety.  A durable food supply that hopefully will last long enough to get through whatever tribulation that comes and a fuel supply for vehicles, machines and cooking.

I have the best of all worlds with a nearly unlimited supply of firewood, a 500 gallon tank of propane and a water well that produces natural gas.  However I have not always had the best of all worlds.   Continue reading “Fuel from chicken”

III Percent Patriots – by Kerodin

There is a tactical reality Patriots must consider going forward.

It has been mentioned (without support, as far as I have seen) that BLM had paid mercenaries on the ground in Nevada. This guy sure doesn’t look like the sort of fellow I’ve seen in BLM uniform or who would be attracted to BLM as a career choice. Perhaps he really is simply one of their SWAT guys.

But this is a consideration we must explore until we have some answers.   Continue reading “Mercenaries in sheeps clothing available for immediate deployment?”

(Daily Mail) — If expanding the guest list to include Michelle Obama at graduation for high school students in the Kansas capital city means fewer seats for friends and family, some students and their parents would prefer the first lady not attend.

A furor over what the Topeka school district considers an honor has erupted after plans were announced for Obama to address a combined graduation ceremony for five area high schools next month an 8,000-seat arena. For some, it was the prospect of a tight limit on the number of seats allotted to each graduate.

Some individuals come equipped with a specific gene that makes them more susceptible to the effects of marijuana — an inheritable characteristic that a new study says could provide an explanation as to why certain people are biologically programmed to be happier than others.

In the study, which was published in the latest edition of the journal, PLOS ONE, researchers explain that CB1 receptors are tightly bonded to the feeling of happiness. Continue reading “Study: Happy People Get More Stoned”

Notwithstanding the best efforts of the Biotech Industry to stop GMO labeling at the state level, the GMO label movement in support of the peoples’ right to know what is in our food is rapidly growing across the country.  Monsanto and company have to date, successfully expended millions of dollars to fight against GMO labeling on a state by state basis.  However, even a blind man can see that the “tide has changed” and GMO labeling is virtually inevitable.   Continue reading “Federal Law Proposed To Override States From Passing GMO Label Laws”

The conflict in Syria has devastated much of the country’s agricultural sector. But while the fighting has left large tracts of farmland abandoned, irrigation systems smashed and livestock neglected, other forces have also been at work.

Syria – and much of the Eastern Mediterranean region – is in the grip of one of the longest periods of drought on record. The World Food Programme (WFP) says the recent rainfall season in Syria, which usually lasts from October to April, produced less than half the long term average precipitation.   Continue reading “Drought Adds to Syria’s Misery”

stinging nettlesOff The Grid News – by Tara Dodrill

Stinging nettles are wild green plants that can be very useful in the kitchen in an off-the-grid household. Although the nettles were the source of many cuts and scrapes during my childhood, they are definitely worth growing and utilizing for natural remedies.

The stinging nettles grow in the wild virtually everywhere in the world and can easily be found during a hike in the woods or along the roadside. The primary nutritional value the plant is often heralded for is its fiber and calcium content. Strong bones are never more important than when increased hours of manual labor are necessary to work a homestead – or when you can’t call a doctor.    Continue reading “Surprising Wild Weed Can Be Used To Improve Health And Even Make Beer”

It seems more and more these days that if you think a loved one is in danger in America, calling the cops should be your absolute last possible resort.

Missourian Elbert Breshears recently called for an ambulance because his elderly wife, who suffers dementia, had endured an episode and knocked a window out of their home.

According to ABC affiliate KSPR33 and unfortunately for Breshears, the cops showed up before the ambulance did:    Continue reading “Elderly Man Calls Ambulance for Wife with Dementia, Cops Show Up and Beat Him”

Bankers are often the driving force behind war.

After all, the banking system is founded upon the counter-intuitive but indisputable fact that banks create loans first, and then create deposits later.

In other words, virtually all money is actually created as debt. For example, in a hearing held on September 30, 1941 in the House Committee on Banking and Currency, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve (Mariner S. Eccles) said:    Continue reading “Bankers Love War Because It Creates Massive Profits”
