The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s chief will step down within weeks, the Obama administration said on Tuesday, as a congressional panel planned to examine whether DEA agents divulged secrets at sex parties that Colombian drug lords may have staged.

Michele Leonhart will leave as DEA administrator in mid-May, said a statement from the Justice Department, which contains the DEA and other major law enforcement agencies.

“I want to express my appreciation to Michele, not only for her leadership of the DEA since 2007, but also for her 35 years of extraordinary service to the DEA,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in the statement.   Continue reading “DEA head Michele Leonhart resigns as Congress prepares investigation into sex parties”

Migrant boat disasterThe Independent

Britain is preparing to dispatch one of its biggest warships to tackle the urgent refugee crisis in the Mediterranean as campaigners warn up to 30,000 migrants, including 2,500 children, could die this year unless rescue operations are restarted immediately.

The deployment of HMS Bulwark a 176-metre launchpad for helicopters and small vessels is close to being sign-off after ministers backed a “more formidable operation on the sea” in response to the scores of migrant deaths in recent days.

Campaigners will attempt to intensify pressure on European Union leaders meeting in Brussels this week to restart search and rescue operations immediately. Justin Forsyth, Chief Executive of Save the Children, said the meeting would see the EU “hold the lives of thousands of desperate people in their hands”.

The swine flu vaccine caused severe brain damage in over 800 children across Europe, and the UK government has now agreed to pay $90 million in compensation to those victims as part of a vaccine injury settlement.
This is the same swine flu vaccine that the entire mainstream media ridiculously insists never causes any harm whatsoever. From the quack science section of the Washington Post to the big pharma sellout pages of the New York Times, every U.S.mainstream mediaoutlet exists in a state of total vaccine injury denialism, pushing toxic vaccines that provably harm children.
“Across Europe, more than 800 children are so far known to have been made ill by the vaccine,” reports the International Business Times.
The vaccine caused narcolepsy and cataplexy in hundreds of children. Both are signs of neurological damage caused by vaccine additives which include mercury, aluminum, MSG, antibiotics and even formaldehyde.
As the IBTimes reports:

The “back to the land” movement that is sweeping this nation has microfarms popping up on the grid left and right.  These microfarmers are getting back to the basics and their goal is to live a more simplified lifestyle.  They live primarily in a self sufficient manner by growing their own food, caring for smaller plots of land,  and raising livestock.

The breeds that are typically chosen for homesteads and microfarms are the heritage breeds because they have a better survival rate.  However, those homesteaders that live on smaller acreage or in urban settings who cannot provide the larger areas for animals to graze have chosen micro versions of these domesticated animals.  These microbreeds are bred to not only for their stature, but how much meat is butchered; and are also raised based upon their temperament, cost of raising the animal vs. it’s price in meat, and how much land the animal will need to graze.   Continue reading “How Micro Livestock Can Be Used For Suburban and Rural Sustainability”

A new Illinois law is threatening parents who leave their children home alone if they are 13-years-old or younger. The new Illinois law states that parents who leave 13-year-olds home are guilty of neglect, and subject to arrest, as well as their children being taken away by police.

The new law states that “any minor under the age of 14 years whose parent or other person responsible for the minor’s welfare leaves the minor without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of that minor” is now considered “neglected.”   Continue reading “New Illinois State Law Lets Police Take Teenagers Away From Parents If They Are Left Home Alone”

A Brantford judge has ruled that a 10-year-old girl must be vaccinated for measles, over the objections of her mother.The Star – by Jacques Gallant

The mother had plenty of arguments as to why her 10-year-old daughter should not receive the measles vaccine — ranging from “most diseases today are very rare” to “unmistakable links” between vaccines and severe reactions.

Problem was, Brantford Superior Court Justice R. John Harper wasn’t buying any of it.

He recently ruled that the girl, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, be given a vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella, or whatever else her family doctor recommends, prior to her trip to Germany later this month to visit extended family.

The US government has finally acknowledged theanticancer properties of cannabis. At this point it’s pretty difficult to ignore the evidence, including countless testimonials of people who cured their cancer with cannabis extracts.

The latest example is a young man whose attempts at traditional cancer treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy failed to get rid of his stage-three bowel cancer. Cannabis oil was a last ditch effort, and it worked.   Continue reading “UK Man Quits Chemo and Beats Cancer with Cannabis”
