As one of the preconditions to authorizing close to $300 million in aid, the United States is pressuring El Salvador to purchase genetically modified seeds from Monsanto instead of non-GM seeds from local farmers.

According to Sustainable Pulse, a website covering developments related to genetically modified organisms and sustainable agriculture, the US will reportedly withhold $277 million in aid through the Millennium Challenge Compact if El Salvador refuses to purchase GM seeds from the biotech company Monsanto.   Continue reading “US pressures El Salvador to buy Monsanto’s GMO seeds”

Christian radio host Mat Staver was at a loss on Tuesday when trying to tell a New York lawmaker how businesses discriminating against members of the LGBT communities was any difference than doing so against people of color, Right Wing Watch reported.

Staver, the dean of Liberty University’s school of law and head of the conservative lawyers’ group the Liberty Counsel, encountered stiff questioning from Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) during a subcommittee meeting for the House Committee on the Judiciary regarding alleged threats to religious freedom like marriage equality.   Continue reading “NY lawmaker shuts Christian radio host down over anti-LGBT discrimination”

US President Barack Obama says the greatest frustration of his time in the office has been the inability to reduce unparalleled levels of gun violence in the United States, adding that the phenomenon is terrifying him.

“My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage,” Obama said on Tuesday at the White House.

government phone set CNN – by Jose Pagliery

Even if you power off your cell phone, the U.S. government can turn it back on.

That’s what ex-spy Edward Snowden revealed in last week’s interview with NBC’s Brian Williams. It sounds like sorcery. Can someone truly bring your phone back to life without touching it?

No. But government spies can get your phone to play dead.

It’s a crafty hack. You press the button. The device buzzes. You see the usual power-off animation. The screen goes black. But it’ll secretly stay on — microphone listening and camera recording.   Continue reading “How the NSA can ‘turn on’ your phone remotely”

One of the ploys of the LGBT Mafia as they continue their juggernaut to seize control of America’s churches is that they say that “we are all created in God’s image”, thereby attempting to justify their perverse lifestyle. But the bible says exactly the opposite. When Adam and Eve sinned and lost the image of God in the Garden, the children that they produced were created in their own fallen image. Not in the image of God. We read this in Genesis 5:3:   Continue reading “Obama’s Church Welcomes Transgendered Sodomite Priest To Perform Services”

radiation tuna toxic 263x164 Radiation in Tuna Triples After Fukushima, New Study SaysNatural Society – by  Elizabeth Renter

You’re right to be concerned about the effects of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011 and beyond. The power station in Japan failed miserably following an earthquake, sending radioactive waste into the ocean at amounts still not fully understood. Recently, a study from researchers with Oregon State University has affirmed the spills have affected sea life and Albacore tuna in particular.

Published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, the research, led by Delvan Neville of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics of the University, says there are notable effects of the Fukushima disaster being felt by tuna caught off the coast of Oregon.    Continue reading “Radiation in Tuna Triples After Fukushima, New Study Says”

For two years, Japan has omitted 640 kilograms (0.7 of a ton) of unused plutonium in its annual accounts to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

An official at the Japan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) said the nuclear fuel – enough to power about 80 nuclear bombs – is part of a fuel, called mixed plutonium-uranium oxide (MOX), that was stored for the period covered by the reports in a reactor in the southern Japanese town that has been off-line for three years.    Continue reading “Japan Fails To Report Hundreds Of Pounds Of Unused Plutonium To IAEA”

The Air Force has further beefed up its bomber presence in Europe, deploying two B-2 stealth bombers for military exercises in the region.

The aircraft are assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing out of Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. On Sunday, they joined three B-52 Stratofortress aircraft already deployed to RAF Fairford, a British air base west of London.?   Continue reading “U.S. sends stealth bombers to Europe”

It has been a decade since Merck’s “super-aspirin” Vioxx was withdrawn from the market after a study showed it doubled the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Heavily advertised by celebrity athletes like Dorothy Hamill and Bruce Jenner and used by approximately 20 million patients, estimates of the heart attacks caused by Vioxx range from 27,000 to up to  140,000. The Vioxx scandal made Merck the poster child for deceptive marketing because the cardiovascular risk data was  deliberately withheld from the FDA, medical journals and the drug-taking public and their doctors, according to news reports. In 2010, Merck compensated 20,591 heart attack and 12,447 stroke plaintiffs out of a $4.85 billion settlement fund.   Continue reading “One of Big Pharma’s Most Disastrous Drugs Destroyed This Man’s Spine”

Illegal ImmigrantsJoe for America

Illegal immigrants may be testing Obama’s resolve to grant amnesty. He is now calling their numbers a ‘crisis’.

Do ya think?

About 700 unaccompanied minors mostly from Central America were sleeping on plastic boards at a Border Patrol warehouse in Nogales, Arizona, this weekend, the vast majority flown from South Texas. It is the latest illustration of how a wave of immigrants from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala has overwhelmed U.S. border authorities. President Barack Obama called the surge a crisis last week and appointed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to lead the government’s response. Here are some questions and answers.   Continue reading “Obama Wants Another $1.4 Billion for Foster Care . . . of Illegal Immigrants”

Under the Obama administration, surplus weapons from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—from grenade launchers to machine guns to silencers—have militarized police departments across the United States at unprecedented levels, the New York Times revealed in an investigation published Sunday.

Pentagon data shows a massive transfer of military weapons to local law enforcement on Obama‘s watch, including “tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft,” writes journalist Matt Apuzzo.   Continue reading “Concern Grows as Military Weapons Flood Police Departments”

Cancer is a deadly disease—there is no denying it, but there is some controversy where conventional cancer treatments are involved, many of them suspected of being more harmful than the cancer itself. A new study from Dana Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center found that children with a certain type of brain tumor who were treated with radiation had a lower survival rate than those who weren’t, offering additional evidence that some of these treatments could do more harm than good.   Continue reading “More Evidence that Conventional Cancer Treatments Are More Deadly than Cancer”
