Truthstream Media – by Melissa Melton

So I was reading Heather Callaghan’s article, “Monsanto Teaching a Health Class In a School Near You?” published earlier today at Activist Post, which begins, “I’m retelling this story not to cause sheer outrage or bring down shame and fire on one school in one instance, but to let you know definitively that Monsanto representatives could visit a school near you to teach a class…”

Scrolling down to see what people thought of this glorious new development in genetically modified propaganda, I noticed a very angry man in the comments section going by the name “Michael Stephens” thought long and hard about Callaghan’s piece and had quite a lot to say:   Continue reading “Self-proclaimed Monsanto employee trolling anti-GMO articles, claiming organic food ‘kills people’”

Pharmaceutical companies rank right up there with Big Oil, Congress, and Cable companies when it comes to trust and popularity.  We don’t trust or like Big Pharma, which we suspect puts profits before all else. Big Pharma haters would even accuse them of preferring to treat disease rather than cure it, and get us addicted to the treatments.  After all, where’s the money once a disease is cured?   Continue reading “5 Over-the-Counter Meds You Likely Use That Just Don’t Work”

CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller was simply doing his job when he tweeted President Barack Obama‘s weekend plans. Little did he know that his effort would unleash a wave of criticism directed at the president.

With the situation in Iraq at critical mass and Baghdad on the verge of falling into the hands of the Islamic militant group known as ISIS, and the impending humanitarian crises unfolding on the southern border with Mexico, folks were simply astonished at what they were seeing.   Continue reading “‘Exhausted’ Obama to drive golf balls as ISIS drives on Baghdad, Twitter erupts”

The goal of American warplanes, should they return after three years to the skies over Iraq they patrolled for the previous 20, will be to help “break the momentum” of the Islamic extremist army that threatens the viability of the Iraqi government, according to Pentagon officials.

The White House is reviewing “options” to aid Iraq against the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), which would stop short of sending US ground troops back to the country where nearly 4,500 of them died between 2003 and 2011.   Continue reading “US may use air strikes to ‘break Isis momentum’ in Iraq, Pentagon says”

Liberty Blitzkrieg – by Mickael Krieger 

The “war on compassion” when it comes to the homeless in America has been one of Liberty Blitzkrieg’s key themes this year. There are many reasons why I find this topic to be of such tremendous importance. First and foremost, I think that if we want to see how the state and crony corporate status quo will treat everyone in the future, all you have to do is look at how the homeless are being “dealt with.” Secondly, random groups feeding the homeless in various venues is a great example of decentralized compassion. Political power hates decentralization and is quite intentionally trying to corral the homeless into the centralized bureaucratic channels over which it has total control. So this isn’t merely a humanitarian issue, it is also a front line battle in the key war of our time: Decentralization vs. Centralization.     Continue reading “In 33 U.S. Cities, Feeding The Homeless Has Been Criminalized”

• Including the Oklahoma City Bombing, which killed 168 individuals, far-right extremists killed 368 individuals during ideologically motivated homicide events between 1990 and 2013.

The new generation of energy efficient light bulbs are so dangerous in so many ways that they had to be designed for the sake of an evil agenda to mass-poison the population. You will understand that it is no exaggeration by the time you finish this chapter.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the following emergency procedure should be followed in the event of a bulb breakage, due to the poison gas that is released.   Continue reading “A New Method of Poisoning Us With Radiation: ‘High Efficiency’ Light Bulbs”

Chelsea Clinton earned an annual salary of $600,000 at NBC News before switching to a month-to-month contract earlier this year, sources with knowledge of the agreement told POLITICO.

Clinton, who joined NBC News as a special correspondent in November 2011, was up for renewal or nonrenewal this year. Instead, the sources said, the network decided to keep her on the payroll on a month-to-month basis so the two parties could sever ties if Clinton’s mother, Hillary Clinton, runs for president.   Continue reading “Chelsea Clinton paid $600K by NBC”

Kiev does not care about civilians in eastern Ukraine, and people have to flee their homes amid daily bombings, Ukrainian refugees told RT at a temporary camp in Russia’s Rostov. It comes amid Kiev’s “lies” about humanitarian corridors, they said.

Thousands of eastern Ukrainians are flowing into Russia amid the ongoing Kiev military operation, in which the cities occupied by anti-government activists are being shelled and bombardedwith heavy artillery and incendiary bombs. Even in large regional centers like Lugansk, people no longer feel safe, as cases of Ukrainian jets launching missiles at central city buildings in broad daylight have been reported.   Continue reading “‘Bombardment never stops’: E.

The defense of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, jailed in Mexico since March 31 after accidentally crossing the border with three registered guns, is once again in turmoil, as yet another legal shakeup has dashed any hopes for a quick return to the U.S.

Although Tahmooressi’s mother would not confirm that the second of two attorneys hired to win her son’s freedom had been fired, sources told FoxNews.com that Lamberto Jesus Esquer Dabdoub is no longer representing the Marine and veteran of two tours of duty in Afghanistan. A news conference that had been scheduled for Thursday at Esquer’s Tijuana office was canceled without explanation, and the lawyer has not returned repeated calls for comment.   Continue reading “Tahmooressi team in turmoil: Latest legal shakeup prolongs Marine’s nightmare”

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — The Jackson County sheriff says two deputies were serving an eviction order on an Ashland man Tuesday when he came out of his bedroom pointing a shotgun at them, and they shot and killed him.

Sheriff Mike Winters told a press conference Wednesday that both deputies fired and 73-year-old Earl Carlson Harris was hit at least twice.

Winters says it appears the deputy’s decision to fire was correct, but the case remains under investigation by state police and others.   Continue reading “Deputies kill armed 73-year-old Ashland man during eviction”

The Minuteman Project intends to demonstrate outside a Mexican consulate to urge the release of a U.S. Marine veteran being held in a Mexican prison.

Jim Gilchrist, founder and president of the Minuteman Project, says Andrew Tahmooressi is essentially being held as a political prisoner.

“I think he’s being held more as a show of force by the Mexican authorities: Hey we’re tough and we’ve got one of your guys. What are you going to do about it?”   Continue reading “Minuteman leader plans to picket Mexican consulate”
