Off the Grid News- by Daniel Jennings
Living off the grid is illegal in Cape Coral, Florida, according to a court ruling Thursday.
Special Magistrate Harold S. Eskin ruled that the city’s codes allow Robin Speronis to live without utility power but she is still required to hook her home to the city’s water system. Her alternative source of power must be approved by the city, Eskin said. Continue reading “Court Rules Off-The-Grid Living Is Illegal”
The southern branch jet stream is about to become active as the ridge over the Northeast Pacific breaks down, which will bring storms back to California, and even finally heavy rainfall to Southern California, which has had extremely below normal rainfall amounts this year, making it the driest year in recorded history.
The start of the storm train will hit California all at once starting this Wednesday. This will hit Central and Northern California harder, and Southern California less. However this system on one computer model wants to be weaker … but judging by the current track of the system will likely be a slightly stronger one than modeled across Southern California so rainfall increasing by Wednesday into Wednesday night is extremely likely.

A new stamp is created with a picture of President Obama on it.
The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes.
This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings: Continue reading “New Stamp”
The New York Police Department is welcoming a newcomer that’s the first of his kind for the nation’s largest police department: a former military service dog.
Caeser, a 4-year-old German shepherd, served three tours of duty overseas. Now he’ll be patrolling the New York City subways with Officer Juan Rodriguez. Continue reading “NYPD gets ex-military dog, a 1st for the force”
We are currently in a Depression. It has not hit us full force yet because we can print money to feed 48 million Americans on Food Stamps. I have previously said Depressions are caused by the accumulation of Unpayable Debts. Unpayable Debts are created because we allow bankers to charge us interest on money they create out of nothing. Depressions are periods of time when Unpayable Debts are cancelled en masse. I would prefer a systematic and worldwide Debt Cancellation over a 1930s style Great Depression which starved a minimum of 3 million Americans to death.

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) – New York state Sen. Ruben Diaz Jr. introduced a bill that would require parents of elementary school children to attend a minimum of four parent support classes. If parents don’t go, 6th graders won’t move onto 7th grade.
Leslie Venokur, the co-founder of Big City Moms, called the idea “crazy” and “insane.” She said that what is most concerning that the education commissioner and Board of Regents would develop the parenting guidelines. She said the Regents should “stick to what they’re good at which is teaching kids and staying away from the parents.” Continue reading “NY lawmaker: Parents should take parenting classes”
There was a fairly humorous article published by Haaretz recently. Apparently there is a Ukrainian rabbi named Moshe Reuven Azman telling Jews in Kiev to flee the city fearing that violence might be directed against Ukraine’s Jews. The reason why this is so funny is because the Ukrainian uprising that has taken place was largely ran and supported by Jews.
Here’s a quick blurb from the Haaretz article. Continue reading “Rabbi Claims Ukrain’s Jews Might be Victimized even though Jews Helped Orchestrate Ukrainian Uprising”
A new study from the U.S. Geological Survey, accepted for publication online ahead of print in the journal Enviromental Toxicology and Chemistry, titled, “Pesticides in Mississippi air and rain: A comparison between 1995 and 2007,”[i] reveals that Roundup herbicide (aka glyphosate) and its still-toxic degradation byproduct AMPA were found in over 75% of the air and rain samples tested from Mississippi in 2007.

According to some experts, wheat is more like the staff of death than the staff of life these days. Due to genetic modifications of wheat over the past century (go HERE to learn how scientists “fixed” wheat during the 60s), the grain that appears in nearly every meal in America seems to be causing serious health concerns, particularly inflammation and autoimmune issues.
The problem is, gluten-free food is a billion dollar industry, and at the prices Big Food is charging for these specialty items, it’s easy to see how fast the bills can rack up. Continue reading “How to Go Gluten-Free Without Contributing to the Billion Dollar Big Food Rip-Off”
Two Brooklyn cops sideswiped a parked SUV, then arrested a man sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle, accusing him of damaging their car, a suit charges.
And the officers would have gotten away with their lie — had the whole bizarre drama not been caught by a security camera. Continue reading “Cops hit my car, then arrested me: suit”
After draining the dams on purpose was done by the “elite” to destroy the San Joaquin valley on purpose, Haarp is being used to finish the job with a real drought. San Joaquin destroyed on purpose? Read on, I have proof that this has been in the works for six years, long before Fukushima. Continue reading “Haarp being used to finalize death of the San Joaquin”
Zero tolerance weapons policies at schools continue to be ridiculous. Between Pop Tarts bitten into gun-like shapes and drawings of guns being treated as severely as the real thing, schools enforcing these policies (forced on them by the government’s decision to tie funding to weapons policies) have slid into cartoonish parody of discipline.
In news that should come as a surprise to almost no one, two eleven-year old boys at a Flint, MI school were arrested and charged after bringing a toy gun to school. (via The Blaze) Continue reading “Zero Tolerance Nets Two 11-Year Old Boys Juvenile Criminal Charges For Bringing A Toy Gun To School”
The US Bureau of Reclamation released its first outlook of the year and finds insufficient stock is available in California to release irrigation water for farmers. This is the first time in the 54 year history of the State Water Project. “If it’s not there, it’s just not there,” notes a Water Authority director adding that it’s going to be tough to find enough water, but farmers are hit hardest as “they’re all on pins and needles trying to figure out how they’re going to get through this.” Fields will go unplanted (supply lower mean food prices higher), or farmers will pay top dollar for water that’s on the market (and those costs can only be passed on via higher food prices).

The bitterly cold winter the country is experiencing now took government climatologists completely by surprise, but was predicted with dead-center accuracy by the Old Farmer’s Almanac, a 200 year-plus publication.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center worked feverishly, plugging all available data into supercomputers to predict temperatures would be “above normal from November through January across much of the lower 48 states,” according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Continue reading “Farmer’s Almanac nails winter freeze; government climate scientists way off”
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview broadcast Thursday on Israel Channel 2 TV: “One thing I know a hundred thousand percent is that you can’t turn to the people of Israel with the prospect that what you are offering is going to turn the West Bank into Gaza. Israel’s security is iron clad as a priority in this issue.”
Kerry said he was not asking Israelis to accept an agreement based solely on hope. “I don’t want this to be a leap of faith, but a leap of rationality and a choice based on a very understandable and tangible set of guarantees.” Continue reading “Kerry: I Know Israel Won’t Accept Turning West Bank into Gaza”
Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has invited US President Barack Obama to join him in talks aimed at resolving the problems between the two countries.

Have you ever heard the koan: what’s the sound of one hand clapping? It’s the same sound as the former DEA administrator, Peter Bensinger, wailing that marijuana legalization is a ‘disaster.’ His voice is a lonely one.
The man is an anti-drug crusader who served three former presidents, but forgot that our founding fathers grew Cannabis, that the most important documents of this country were written on hemp paper, as were almost 90% of all others before 1883, and that the ‘perils’ of pot, or medical marijuana use, are about as real as his imaginary job was ‘defending’ the nation from marijuana users.
