JEFFERSON —  Reptile specialist Gerald Andrejcak told NJ.com Friday that the giant snake loose in Lake Hopatcong is a green anaconda — though he’d previously only called it a boa constrictor — and that he was “sworn to secrecy” by a local animal control official to avoid causing a panic.

“It’s a green anaconda,” Andrejcak said. “I’ve known its species (since last week), but I was sworn to keep my mouth shut by local officials to avoid causing a panic. Now that there’s a panic, I’m going on the record.”   Continue reading “Expert: Lake Hopatcong snake an anaconda, but I was ‘sworn to keep my mouth shut’”

GEAB N°86 is available! Global systemic crisis – The Major Global Geopolitical ReconfigurationGEAB

Last month our team anticipated that the Ukrainian crisis would provide the conditions for a jolt [1].

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas ( Reuters / Thomas Peter)RT

Criminal prosecution is likely to be expanded on Americans involved in recruiting and supervising activities of German officials spying for the US intelligence, Germany’s Justice Minister Heiko Maas told Welt am Sonntag.

If investigators find a body of evidence that alleged double agents in Germany’s federal intelligence service and Defense Ministry have been spying to the benefit of American intelligence, “the investigation would extend on their feasible patrons,” Maas declared.   Continue reading “Berlin wants to prosecute US handlers of German spies”

FRESNO, California (AP) — Police were investigating whether the same men who robbed a bank, took hostages and led a deadly chase and shootout carried out other recent bank heists in the same part of Northern California, including one earlier this year at the very same branch.

There were striking similarities between a late-January robbery at the Bank of the West and the one this week that left a hostage and two robbers dead, police said. In both cases, armed robbers made their getaway by stealing a bank employee’s car.   Continue reading “Police: Men may have robbed California bank before”

MerckNatural News – by Mike Adams

Those of us who have long been describing the pharmaceutical industry as a “criminal racket” over the last few years have been wholly vindicated by recent news. Drug and vaccine manufacturer Merck was caught red-handed by two of its own scientists faking vaccine efficacy data by spiking blood samples with animal antibodies. GlaxoSmithKline has just been fined a whopping $3 billion for bribing doctors, lying to the FDA, hiding clinical trial data and fraudulent marketing. Pfizer, meanwhile has been sued by the nation’s pharmacy retailers for what is alleged as an “overarching anticompetitive scheme” to keep generic cholesterol drugs off the market and thereby boost its own profits.   Continue reading “Irrefutable proof that Big Pharma is a criminal racket: Bribery, scientific fraud, felony crimes and more”

The Myth of Aztlan is no more real than the Easter Bunny.  Aztlan is a Lie.

It is time we stop holding back the historical truth and set the record straight. It is time the truth and the real history of how the Southwestern states became a part of the United States and Texas independence. We must not allow the revisionist to take over the narrative rewriting how the western United States was acquired.

It is time to shatter the lie saying southwest was stolen from Mexico. The Aztlan myth is about as real as the invention of Kwanza is a holiday. The truth is Aztec Indians never occupied the southwest. Why would they live in a desert wasteland when they had abundance in the tropical climate?   Continue reading “Exposing La Raza’s AZTLAN Lie. 5 Historical Facts Why the Southwest and Texas Was Not Stolen from Mexico.”

The downing of Flight MH17 means that Washington’s gang are on the war path again. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain and even Hillary Clinton – are all insisting that the west has to ‘get tougher’ with Russia. Was this the plan all along?

With so much going on in the US and to its special friends in other parts of the world, this crisis event could not have come at a better time.
