Illinois Senior Senator, Democrat Dick Durbin was forced to respond to aChicago Tribune story that revealed that his wife is a lobbyist who received high-dollar federal contracts. Durbin said it was purely coincidental… then offered to sell us the Brooklyn Bridge.
Durbin told the Tribune that his wife only lobbies with the State of Illinois, not the federal government, so the millions she rakes in from federal contracts is just a coincidence. Really. It was… a totally, unseen, completely accidental coincidence… that a Senator who is the third in line of power in the US Senate has a wife who just coincidentally got millions in federal contracts.

Exposure in pregnancy to a chemical commonly found in plastics and cans — known as bisphenol A, or BPA — may increase a child’s risk of breathing problems, researchers say.
In a study of nearly 400 pregnant women and their children, researchers found that each 10-fold increase of BPA in a mother’s urine was associated with a 14 percent decrease in the child’s breathing function at 4 years of age. Continue reading “Plastics Chemical BPA Linked to Lung Problems”

Abdominal pain can be a challenging complaint, especially for those of us who specialize in natural medicine. This type of pain is frequently a benign complaint, but can also herald serious acute pathologies. At least some type of abdominal pain is present in more than 60 percent of an otherwise healthy adolescent and adult population. Here are the most significant sources of pain, their location and when you should seek treatment.
The history and physical examination are central to narrowing the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and guiding the evaluation. Continue reading “16 of the Most Common Types of Abdominal Pain”
Right now is the perfect time to point out the gross contradiction in the U.S. government’s policies on supposedly preventing the spread of communicable disease. Across the board, children who are unvaccinated against diseases that don’t even exist in America anymore – such as polio — are loudly condemned as “a threat to public health” and often barred from attending public school.
The logic goes like this: An unvaccinated child might easily catch polio and then spread it to other children. Therefore, that child should be barred from attending public school.

Whether Ebola is a natural virus that has gone rouge or a form of biological warfare (sounds crazy, I know), know that you do not need to fear. Between real conventional successes and natural solutions, whether suppressed or not, there are treatments for just about anything – and that includes the latest Ebola virus that has come to the U.S. in Dallas. Specifically for Ebola, vitamin C may be the answer.
To date, not a single virus has been tested that is not inactivated (killed) by a large enough dose of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Not the GMO kind, but rather the naturally occurring Vitamin C. This vitamin is easily disseminated throughout the body with very little resistance, non-toxic at every level. It is also quite bio-available during an attack on the body by a virus.

A handwritten letter penned by Eric Frein has been found in the Pennsylvania woods as police continue to scour the area looking for the accused cop shooter, authorities said today.
Details in the letter lead police to believe it was written by Frein, who’s been on the run since Sept. 12.
The note offers no motive for the shooting death of Cpl. Bryon Dickson and the wounding of another trooper when Frein allegedly ambushed the Blooming Grove police barracks, a law enforcement official familiar with the case told ABC News Continue reading “Eric Frein’s Handwritten Note Found During Manhunt: Police”
MURSITPINAR, Turkey (AP) — Islamic State fighters backed by tanks and artillery pushed into an embattled Syrian town on the border with Turkey on Monday, touching off heavy street battles with the town’s Kurdish defenders.
Hours after the militants raised two of their Islamic State group’s black flags on the outskirts of Kobani, the militants punctured the Kurdish front lines and advanced into the town itself, the Local Coordination Committees activist collective and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

CHICAGO (AP) — A 19-year-old American left a letter expressing disgust with Western society before trying to board an international flight in Chicago, the first step in his plan to sneak into Syria to join the Islamic State group, according to a federal criminal complaint released Monday.
Mohammed Hamzah Khan, who lived with his parents in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, was arrested Saturday at O’Hare International Airport trying to board a plane on the first leg of connecting flights to Turkey, which borders Syria. He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group, which carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence.

Oct 6 (Reuters) – Former Treasury Secretary Henry “Hank” Paulson told a packed courtroom on Monday that AIG shareholders were singled out for punishment as part of the U.S. government’s attempt to contain the contagion of the 2008 financial crisis.
The testimony from Paulson appeared to bolster some claims contained in a lawsuit brought by former AIG Chief Executive Hank Greenberg, who contends the terms of a government loan to AIG cheated its shareholders. Continue reading “Ex-Treasury Secretary Paulson says AIG bailout was punitive”
Usually, when the mainstream media mentions preppers and survivalists, the angle is not flattering. Maybe someone who considers himself a survivalist has committed a heinous crime and is on the loose. Perhaps a prepared family is beaming from the page while sitting in their bunker, hundreds of food buckets in the background and 17 paragraphs of mockery in the article below the photo.
But the possibility of a pandemic changes things, and with the Ebola case in Dallas, Texas, the folks in the mainstream media have a lot of questions for the preparedness community. With only a couple of exceptions, the reports have been a lot more open-minded than usual, if a little lacking in understanding of the preparedness community.

It then cites Bible passage Isaiah 26:19-20: “Your dead shall live, their bodies shall rise.” Continue reading “Ebola Zombie ‘Risen From The Dead’ Is A Horrible Viral Hoax”
