Before It’s News – by Lisa Haven

Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego were tossed into a fiery furnace because they would not bow to an Idol.   However, they were the only ones who stood in start opposition to what the king demanded of his people. Everyone else caved under pressured and bowed out of fear of being thrown into the furnace. Sadly, this is exactly what we see happening today. Many churches are ‘caving under the pressure’ of the government and allowing them to limit what they can and can’t say.   Continue reading “Government Taking Over Churches – Compromise of Epic Proportions”

Kosovo independenceAbout.com

Following the demise of the Soviet Union and its domination over Eastern Europe in 1991, the constituent components of Yugoslavia began to dissolve. For some time, Serbia, retaining the name of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and under control of the genocidal Slobodan Milosevic, forcefully retained possession of nearby provinces.

Over time, places such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro gained independence. The southern Serbian region of Kosovo, however, remained part of Serbia. The Kosovo Liberation Army fought Milosevic’s Serbian forces and a war of independence took place from about 1998 through 1999.   Continue reading “Why is it okay for Kosovo to declare independence but not Crimea?”

ARS Technica – by Cyrus Farivar

On Saturday, Defense Distributed—America’s best-known group of 3D gunsmiths—announced on Facebook that its founder, Cody Wilson, is now a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer. The group published a picture of the Type 7 federal firearms license (FFL) to prove it.

“The big thing it allows me to do is that it makes me [a manufacturer] under the law—everything that manufacturers are allowed to do,” he told Ars. “I can sell some of the pieces that we’ve been making. I can do firearms transactions and transport.”   Continue reading “3D-printed gun maker now has federal firearms license to manufacture, deal guns”

milk glass 263x164 Study Suggests Organic Milk has Better Balance of Healthful Fats, is HealthierNatural Society – by Elizabeth Renter

While common sense tells us organic products are better for us than nonorganics, the science-based evidence is sometimes lacking. Sure, we know vegetables sprayed with pesticides carry more health risks than those that do not, but what about when it comes to things like dairy cows and the milk they produce? One new study sought to determine scientifically if organic milk was better than conventional milk. And they were successful.   Continue reading “Study Suggests Organic Milk has Better Balance of Healthful Fats, is Healthier”

Ukraine KievHang the Bankers – by Clark Kent

Breaking through the mainstream media’s suppression of contrary voices regarding the Ukraine crisis, RPI advisors Dennis Kucinich and Lawrence Wilkerson this week expose, on Fox News and MSNBC respectively, the United States government’s role in creating the crisis.

Asked what he would have done differently as president regarding Ukraine, Kucinich explains:   Continue reading “Exposed: CIA, NATO and NGOs created the Ukrainian crisis”

International Policy Digest – by Fahim Masoud

The five republics of Central Asia (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan) are endowed with an immense amount of natural resources and are located in the center of Eurasia.

The collapse of the Soviet Union made it possible for these Central Asian states to develop independent relations with the rest of the world. However, the emerging economic and geopolitical significance of these five republics to China is currently defining the international relations of these republics. Kazakhstan in particular has attracted the interest of the Chinese government. Geographically, Kazakhstan shares a border with China’s western province, Xinjiang. Politically, Kazakhstan is still a dictatorship. China, unlike the United States and European powers, registers no objections to the Kazakh government’s human rights abuses. This makes China’s political and economic transactions with the Kazakh government much easier.   Continue reading “Central Asia: A Region of Strategic Importance to China”

By increasing exports of natural gas to friendly countries, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton believes the United States can “tell Russia to go stick it.”

Expanding America’s natural gas exports will “help our friends across the globe” as well as send a strong message to Russian President Vladimir Putin over his recent actions in Ukraine, Upton said Wednesday in a strongly worded speech to an event hosted by ConservAmerica in Washington, D.C.   Continue reading “House Energy Chairman: Build Pipeline, ‘Tell Russians to Go Stick It’”

People in the West see Putin and Russia through the rose colored glasses [provided by the mass media.] Well, the reality is not rose colored at all.

After gangsterism and anarchy of Yeltsin’s reign, people wanted “a strong hand”. And here comes Putin. In the first place everybody was suspicious. Within half-year he rose from a little-known bureaucrat to Prime Minister and President. He was appointed by Eltsin himself.   Continue reading “Flashback: Putin’s Russia – Illuminati Controlled & Corrupt”

In his January speech regarding the NSA’s surveillance activities, President Obama called for an end to the controversial metadata collection program “as it currently exists.” Vague as it is, that statement did signal that the administration would attempt to reshape the NSA’s activities for the better.   Continue reading “The Numbers In Your Phone Can Reveal Your Illness, Religion, and Gun Purchases”

If you’re a bad guy wanting to blast a website off the internet, the obvious method is to use a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

DDoS attacks typically use a botnet of computers in a co-ordinated attack, driving web traffic to a particular site. The victim site can’t cope with the barrage, and – unless properly prepared – falls over.   Continue reading “Hackers trick 162,000 unsuspecting WordPress sites into launching DDoS attack”

When it comes to health and nutrition, it seems like everything old is new again. Many foods or health protocols that used to be commonly enjoyed were later attacked and discredited by industry-funded “scientists” trying to sell toxic substitutes like vegetable oil or aspartame.

But as health awareness has radically increased over the last two decades, many “old” things are new again. In this article, I share my list on many of these “old” things which are suddenly back in vogue.   Continue reading “In health and nutrition, what’s old is suddenly new again”

Spare ChangeThe Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

You can’t get blood out of a rock.  Traditionally the United States has had a consumer-driven economy, but now years of declining incomes and rising debts are really starting to catch up with us.  In order to have an economy that is dependent on consumer spending, you need to have a large middle class.  Unfortunately, the U.S. middle class is steadily shrinking, and unless that trend is reversed we are going to see massive economic changes in this country.  For example, in poor neighborhoods all over America we are seeing bank branches, car dealerships and retail stores close down at an alarming rate.  If you didn’t know better, you might be tempted to think that “Space Available” was the hottest new retailer in some areas of the nation.    Continue reading “19 Signs That The U.S. Consumer Is Tapped Out”
