Homeless in AmericaAljazeera – by Renee Lewis

For Americans experiencing homelessness, finding a safe place to store belongings can prove daunting and be a major barrier to overcoming poverty.

“Imagine if you lost your home. How on earth could you simultaneously manage your life’s possessions and handle the next chapter in your life?” said Nick Fish, city commissioner of Portland, Oregon. “The answer is you can’t. You can’t expect someone to be successful if they’re carting around their life’s possessions.”

Portland, known more for its green initiatives than its work with the poor, has recently invested millions in several plans aimed at tackling homelessness, including free storage services, he said.

Ferguson Mayor James Knowles Press TV

The mayor of Ferguson is expecting more protests in the city over the killing of black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer in August, warning the authorities to be prepared for the “worst.”

James Knowles told local media that there is a possibility of a mass protest after a grand jury delivers its decision on whether to indict the officer.

The jury is expected to make a decision as early as mid-November, the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office said.

On August 9, Darren Wilson gunned down 18-year-old Brown, claiming it was an act of self defense.    Continue reading “Ferguson braces for ‘worst’ after grand jury decision”

US Army General Martin DempseyPress TV

The top US military commander says the United States is learning from Israel’s tactics on how to limit civilian casualties in a war, despite the international outcry over the regime’s brutality in Gaza.

General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday that the Pentagon has sent a team to see what lessons could be learned from the recent Israeli invasion of Gaza on how to limit civilian casualties.

Dempsey said the Pentagon had sent the team of senior officials and non-commissioned officers three months ago “to include the measures they took to prevent civilian casualties and what they did with tunneling” in US military operations.   Continue reading “Dempsey: US sent team to Israel to learn war tactics”

A secret file which is said to contain the names of paedophiles with links to the British establishment and which is rumoured to be locked away in archives at the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library, could be made public as part of the Government’s child abuse inquiry.

Inquiry panel members Barbara Hearn and Sharon Evans, along with Ben Emmerson QC, counsel to the inquiry, assured campaigners at their meeting last week – shortly before Fiona Woolf announced she would be the second person to resign as chair – that they would have top-level security clearance and access to restricted or closed files.

San Jose Mercury News, Nov. 2, 2014: Rare changes in wind patterns this fall have caused the Pacific Ocean off California and the West Coast to warm to historic levels, drawing in a bizarre menagerie of warm-water species. The mysterious phenomena are surprising fishermen… El Niño isn’t driving this year’s warm-water spike… Nor is climate change… All year [NOAA] scientists… have been forecasting an El Niño… But now the water is only slightly warmer than normal at the equator, leading scientists to declare a mild El Niño is on the way… The ocean changes also have affected birds. As ocean upwelling stalled in the summer, less krill and other food rose from the depths. As a result, several species of birds, including common murres, had high rates of egg failure on the Farallon Islands, 27 miles west of San Francisco.   Continue reading “‘Mysterious Phenomena’ off U.S. West Coast”

Interesting that the LA times did this. Lou Dobbs reported this on CNN and it cost him his job. The only network we would see this on would be FOX. All the others are staying away from it. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican this should be of great interest to you!

This is only one State……………..If this doesn’t open eyes, nothing will!

Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper.   Francisco’s Money Speech – When Atlas Shrugged

Last night around 12:30 a.m. EST, $1.5 billion of paper gold was dumped into the Comex Globex computer trading system during one of the least liquid periods of trading in any 24 hour period.  It was done when there was almost no resistance from the physical market.  The two largest physical buying markets in the world were dormant when this hit occurred:  India was closed for holiday observance and Shanghai was on its mid-day trading hiatus.   Continue reading “They’re Burning The Furniture Now”

ST. LOUIS – On Wednesday, the City of Ferguson was ordered to stop enforcing a policy that was used to prevent protesters from standing still on public sidewalks. The injunction is similar to one entered early last month, which affected St. Louis County Police Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol. The City agreed to entry of today’s order.

After the focus of protests changed to the Ferguson Police Department, officers began enforcing a rule that prohibited protesters from standing still, even for a moment, on public sidewalks.   Continue reading “Ferguson Ordered to Stop Enforcing Policy that Prevents Protesters from Standing Still”

WASHINGTON—Jerusalem’s status, which has sparked conflict for more than three millennia, was no less divisive Monday at the Supreme Court, where the Obama administration argued a 2002 law permitting Americans born in the city to list Israel as their birthplace on U.S. passports is unconstitutional.

While the justices were considering a legal question on separation of powers between the president and Congress, real-world tremors resonated in the courtroom over recent unrest in Jerusalem related to access to the Temple Mount.   Continue reading “Supreme Court Considers Jerusalem’s Status on U.S. Passports”

????????????????????????????????????Left Hook – by Dean Henderson

In a March 7, 2011 article in The Independent of London (“America’s Secret Plan to Arm Libya’s Rebels”, journalist Robert Fisk reported that the Obama Administration had asked Saudi Arabia to arm the Libyan rebels. The Saudis have played this role for the City of London banker cabal for nearly a century – part of a quid pro quo which involves oil, arms, drugs and covert operations.

The Saudis have also invaded Bahrain to save the al-Khalifa monarchy. The Saudi throne has long served as anti-democratic bulwark in the region for the London/Wall Street bankers and their inbred royal European shareholder brethren. It was all part of a plan hatched by the Rothschild-controlled Business Roundtable a century ago to seize control of Middle East oil.    Continue reading “Rothschild’s Saudi Lapdog Armed Libyan Rebels”

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Oregon will soon be the first state in the nation to charge drivers by the mile for maintaining the state’s roads in a test to begin next year.

ODOT is moving ahead with the road use fee to replace the gasoline tax. As cars get more fuel efficient, gas tax revenue is going down, and the state is looking for better ways to pay for keeping the roads in good shape.   Continue reading “ODOT to roll out mileage fee plan test”
