DETROIT (AP) — Lawyers for Detroit will attempt to convince a federal judge at the city’s bankruptcy trial that its plans to wipe out billions of dollars in debt should be approved.

After some delays, the start of the trial Tuesday in U.S. District Court comes just over 13 months after Detroit became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy. Detroit expects to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion, which is “more manageable,” according to Bill Nowling, a spokesman for emergency manager Kevyn Orr.   Continue reading “Detroit’s historic bankruptcy trial to begin”

The family of a man shot and killed by Anaheim police in a Walmart parking lot can sue the city and four of the officers who fired their weapons, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.

The decision came more than two years after a judge dismissed the family’s lawsuit, ruling in favor of the city and the officers without a trial.

Five officers shot Caesar Ray Cruz, 35, on Dec. 11, 2009, firing about 20 times in a few seconds, according to the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.   Continue reading “Court revives lawsuit in fatal police shooting in Anaheim”

Once we understand that everything is an illusion we’re home free. Knowing we’re eternal consciousness having this in-body experience is the greatest gift anyone can possibly have.

It’s wonderful, it’s free and it’s forever…and it’s for everyone! People just need to wake up to it.

That would seem to be fairly simple, especially once it has happened to you. The fullness of life you expand into, the realization of infinite possibility, is so exhilarating, liberating and profoundly simple that you can’t help but wonder why everyone doesn’t see it.   Continue reading “Truth Psyops and the Awakening”

Ahh, family time. It doesn’t get much warmer than this. A father and his son were at home last night in Erie County, NY when they heard a noise outside. Upon investigation, they found 18-year-old Jacob Rappleye and 22-year-old Anthony Guarino inside the home after breaking in via a 2nd story window by using a ladder.

As the homeowner and his son are gun owners, they naturally grabbed their firearms and held the two young intruders at gunpoint until police arrived.   Continue reading “Father And Son Have Some Bonding Time By Holding Two Home Intruders At Gunpoint Until Police Arrive”

Though news on the Ebola virus has been muted since two American health care workers were admitted to U.S.-based facilities last month, the deadly contagion continues to spread. According to the World Health Organization more than 40% of all Ebola cases thus far have occurred in just the last three months, suggesting that the virus is continuing to build steam.

Physicist Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University in Boston is one of several researchers trying to figure out how far Ebola may spread and how many people around the world could be affected. Based on his findings, there will be 10,000 cases by September of this year and it only gets worse from there.   Continue reading “U.S. Preps For Ebola Outbreak: Cases May Exceed 100,000 By December: “The Numbers Are Really Scary””

Physicists at Fermilab in Illinois have turned on a laser-based experiment that could reveal whether the three-dimensional world we perceive is merely a “Matrix”-style illusion generated by a cosmic two-dimensional hologram.

The Holometer experiment is the result of years of work by particle astrophysicist Craig Hogan and his colleagues at the federally funded Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and it could provide the first clear evidence for the existence of the holographic universe. The concept has been debated for decades, but it’s devilishly difficult to show whether it can ever be anything more than a concept.    Continue reading “Do We Live in a 2-D Hologram? Physicists Aim to Find Out”

ISIS has changed its name several times. It has also been called IS or Islamic State and ISIL (Islamic State in the Levant.) They used to be known as Al Qaeda in Iraq but they got rid of that name. Too many people had caught on to the fact that Al Qaeda was just a bunch of Muslims willing to sell their souls to the CIA and the Mossad. So after their name change  they launched the new brand by invading Iraq and declaring Sharia law. But changing their name did not alter who they are and who their paymasters are.   Continue reading “If ISIS is a Bomb, Israel is the Bombmaker”

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Lamont Jones and Keith Stephens stood 60 feet from each other, separated by four lanes of pavement and a thousand miles of perception.

Stephens was wearing a T-shirt printed with a police shield bearing the phrase “OFFICER DARREN WILSON I STAND BY YOU,” as part of a rally supporting the white policeman who killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed. Jones was across the street, holding up a sign that said, in blood-red letters: “Darren Wilson is a Murderer.”

There was no overlap in the facts as seen by Jones and Stephens at the demonstrations staged a few miles from suburban Ferguson, where Brown was killed. Like many who have closely followed the case, which sparked riots and yet another national racial conflagration, Jones and Stephens had made up their minds.   Continue reading “No gray area: Beliefs shape view of Brown killing”
