A breached oil pipeline in Montana has spilled as many as 50,000 gallons of crude oil in and around the Yellowstone River, according to the state. Bridger Pipeline LLC has yet to determine the cause, but has claimed the public is in no immediate danger.

Cleanup crews were at work on Monday to address the mess, which emanated from a break in the Poplar Pipeline system about 9 miles upstream from Glendive in eastern Montana.   Continue reading “Breached pipeline spills up to 50,000 gallons of oil into Yellowstone River”

Further to the dramatic footage yesterday, Ukrainian troops have launched a massive assault on militia-held areas, according to RT. This comes on the heels of Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko rejecting a peace plan proposed to him last week by his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. As Reuters reports, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday evening, according to Russian media, that the plan, contained in a letter sent by Putin on Thursday evening, proposed a ceasefire by both government forces and separatist militiamen in southeastern Ukraine, as well as the withdrawal of heavy artillery by both sides. Given the images below, it will be hard to see how Ukraine (and The West) will spin this…   Continue reading “Ukraine’s Poroshenko Rejects Putin’s “Peace Plan”; Massive Shelling Ensues”

The need to amend the Bill of Rights to protect medical freedom in America is now greater than ever. Yesterday, government thugs in Hot Springs, Arkansas raided and searched the home of a couple who were in possession of a simple mineral supplement called Miracle Mineral Solution.

Law enforcement officers of Garland County, Arkansas served a search warrant on the Stanley home — yes, possession of a legal, medicinal mineral supplement is now grounds for being searched by the government — where they took the family’s seven children by force.   Continue reading “Arkansas government kidnaps seven children, searches home of family for owning a popular mineral supplement”

When Barack Obama signed the U.N. Gun Ban Treaty last year, he invited global gun banners to carve up our constitutional freedom.

Now Obama is using the full force of the international community to pressure our U.S. Senators into replacing our Second Amendment rights with U.N.-style gun control.    Continue reading “Obama Moves to Advance U.N. Gun Ban Treaty”

Sometimes the picture says it all.

For Kaleb Whitby, the picture says a little too much.

He’d rather not think about it — the semi-trucks flattening his Chevy Silverado like a panini press.

Amid the tangled steel after the predawn crash near Baker City sat Whitby: intact, trapped and full of questions.

“Thank God that I’m still alive,” Whitby said. “Now I’ve got to go figure out why.”    Continue reading “Interstate 84 semi-truck crash: Crushed by 2 big rigs, he walks out with 2 Band-Aids”

The order to launch the offensive was issued early approximately at 6:00 am, according to Yury Biryukov, an aide to President Petro Poroshenko.   Continue reading “Donetsk shelled as Kiev ‘orders massive fire’ on militia-held E. Ukraine”

Following five straight days of losses, U.S. stocks made minor gains Friday morning in light of the shock news coming from Switzerland which has market experts scratching their heads, many investors weeping and a lucky few turning a profit. Experts are speculating as to whether the decision to remove the cap on the Swiss Franc hints at an impending stimulus move by the European Central Bank next week or whether it will act as a safeguard to a possible exit from the Euro zone by Greece in 2015. Either way it is terrible news for an already sluggish European economy. Retail broker FXCM Inc. halted trading owing to fears of breaching regulations amid substantial client losses while Alpari UK has filed for insolvency. Meanwhile the media in Hong Kong are reporting that, thanks to its online system, clients of HSBC Holdings were able to buy Swiss Francs below market rates for several hours yielding thousands of dollars in profit. However, it is not just the currency markets that are feeling some serious pain this week.   Continue reading “This Week In Energy: Oil Majors Taking Ruthless Measures To Survive”

St. Ann, Missouri – Police in a town just outside of St. Louis recently assaulted and handcuffed the wrong person during a high speed chase. 22-year-old Joseph Swink was driving down the road, minding his own business last week, when his car was hit by a vehicle that was in a high speed chase with police.

Swink’s car was hit by the fleeing suspect, who continued to speed down the road after the collision. Instead of following after the suspect, police stopped the car that had been hit. Then they proceeded to assault and detain Joseph Swink, thinking that he was the man they were after.   Continue reading “Police Assault And Handcuff Wrong Man.

TheSurvivalBikeThe Prepper Journal – by Pat Henry

I was casually strolling around the internet today as most of us do at some point in time, looking for article ideas for the Prepper Journal. I do this whenever I don’t have something pushing into my thoughts as readily as I hope and it happens occasionally when writer’s block hits me. I was lucky enough to stumble on something that many of you, myself included might not have seen yet, but that could be an excellent bug out vehicle option in the right circumstances.   Continue reading “Could the Survival Bike be your Bug Out Vehicle of Choice?”

Indiana State Representative Jim Lucas is proposing to eliminate the state law that requires individuals to have a license to carry a handgun. There has been an increase in the number of applicants in his state of Indiana as well as other states across the nation.

Currently a license is required to carry a handgun in your car or on your person, but this law would change under Lucas’ bill. Because of this change, several Class A and Class B misdemeanors would also be eradicated.   Continue reading “Indiana: Possibly The 6th Constitutional Carry State In The Country”

This story is short and sweet, and is the third to be included in our new category in just as many days, Darwin Award. A suspect was running from a home as police were patrolling after they learned that he could be in the area.

As the suspect, 28-year-old Aaron Braatz, was running, he fell and shot himself in the leg.

Brilliant.   Continue reading “Another Darwin Award: Felony Suspect Shoots Himself In The Leg While Fleeing”
