NEW YORK (AP) — Kraft is removing artificial preservatives from its most popular Singles cheese product variety, in the latest sign that companies are tweaking recipes as food labels come under greater scrutiny.

The change affects the company’s Kraft Singles in the full-fat American and White American varieties, which Kraft says account for the majority of the brand’s sales. Sorbic acid is being replaced by natamycin, which Kraft says is a “natural mold inhibitor.”   Continue reading “Kraft Singles to lose artificial preservatives”

MIAMI (AP) — Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Donna Jane Watts was on routine patrol early one morning when a Miami police car whizzed past at speeds that would eventually top 120 mph. Even with her blue lights flashing and siren blaring, it took Watts more than seven minutes to pull the speeder over.

Not certain who was behind the wheel, she approached the car warily, with gun drawn, according video from her cruiser’s dashboard camera. “Put your hands out of the window! Right now!” she yelled. It turned out the driver was Miami Police Department officer Fausto Lopez, in full uniform. Watts holstered her gun but still handcuffed him and took his weapon.   Continue reading “Fla. trooper who stopped cop sues after harassment”

Prescription opioids are killing Americans at more than five times the rate that heroin is, according to the most recent numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Prescription painkillers are among the most abused narcotics in the United States.  These drugs are just as addictive and harmful as the hardest street drugs, but because they are legal and prescribed by doctors they are greatly underestimated by our society.  This is what makes these drugs so dangerous, since they are socially acceptable many people ignore or overlook their addiction until it becomes a serious problem.   Continue reading “Study says prescription drugs are more dangerous than street drugs like heroin”

Imagine that you could wander unseen through a city, sneaking into houses and offices of your choosing at any time, day or night.  Imagine that, once inside, you could observe everything happening, unnoticed by others — from the combinations used to secure bank safes to the clandestine rendezvous of lovers. Imagine also that you have the ability to silently record everybody’s actions, whether they are at work or play without leaving a trace. Such omniscience could, of course, make you rich, but perhaps more important, it could make you very powerful.   Continue reading “Selling Your Secrets: The Invisible World of Software Backdoors and Bounty Hunters”

Those who mean to lord over us, such as the Department of Defense, have now called people who grow their own food ‘radical’ and extremists. Sound familiar? It’s just like the US calling other nations terrorists when our government has terrorized more of the ‘free’ world than we could even imagine. It has basically called its own citizens terrorists already with NSA spying.

How in the world has it come to this? Americans are becoming ‘serfs’ to their own government much the same way that the British monarchy forced self-sufficient farmers to divide up their land into mono-cropping plots so that they could tax the heck out of everyone and make them reliant upon the same system of tenet farming which then enslaved the masses.   Continue reading “Government Labels those who Grow Their Own Food ‘Extremists’”

SIOUX FALLS, SD – Minnesota drivers can now get an enhanced drivers license.

The new IDs allow residents to go to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean without a passport.  For an extra $15 a license, the cards have an embedded radio frequency chip used at border crossings.  Physically the licenses say enhanced and have an American flag.   Continue reading “Minnesota Now Offering Enhanced Drivers Licenses”

In a town “ranked eighth in murders per capita in cities populated with 500,000 or more residents” in 2012, it would be reasonable to assume that the 3,800-strong Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC) would be busy chasing down leads to solve crimes. It would seem, however, that the cops in Washington, D.C. have bigger fish to fry.

Take their latest catch, Mark Witaschek, “a successful financial adviser with no criminal record,” who was “facing two years in prison for possession of unregistered ammunition.” This was no ordinary ammunition, however. In fact, this was “the first known case of a citizen being prosecuted in D.C. for inoperable ammunition.” Mr. Witaschek is a legal gun owner and avid hunter, who stores his firearms at his sister’s home in Arlington, Virginia, in order to abide by the law. In fact, Mr. Witaschek has never had a firearm in D.C.   Continue reading “D.C. Police, Attorney General Terrorize Citizen”

A record number of Americans renounced their citizenship or green cards in 2013, according to new data that may draw a complicated picture for US tax assessors who impose financial obligations on citizens living outside the country.

A total of 2,999 men and women formally resigned their citizenship in 2013, surpassing the previous record of 1,781, which was set in 2011. Last year’s total is also a steep 221 percent jump from the 2012 total of 932.   Continue reading “Record number of Americans renounce citizenship thanks to tightening tax laws”

Eleven days after the 2011 US elite forces raid that resulted in the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the head of US special operations ordered the destruction of all photos of the corpse or for them to be given to the CIA, new evidence shows.

The disclosure was revealed Monday in an email obtained and released by non-profit legal group Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The heavily-redacted email was sent by Admiral William McRaven, head of US Special Operations Command, to subordinate officers on May 13, 2011, instructing them that any remaining photos of Bin Laden’s body must be destroyed or handed over to the CIA. Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by the special operations team commonly known as Seal Team Six during Operation Neptune Spear.   Continue reading “‘Destroy immediately’: Top US commander ordered Bin Laden photos purge”

A person familiar with the committee’s plans told The Associated Press that up to a dozen subpoenas could be issued after the panel meets Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Angling to avoid political peril, the Obama administration Monday granted employers another delay in a heavily criticized requirement that medium-to-larger firms cover their workers or face fines.

In one of several concessions in a complex Treasury Department regulation of more than 200 pages, the administration said companies with 50 to 99 employees will have an additional year to comply with the coverage requirement, until January 1, 2016.   Continue reading “Another delay in health law’s employer requirement”

BAGHDAD (AP) — An instructor teaching his militant recruits how to make car bombs accidentally set off explosives in his demonstration Monday, killing 21 of them in a huge blast that alerted authorities to the existence of the rural training camp in an orchard north of Baghdad. Nearly two dozen people were arrested, including wounded insurgents trying to hobble away from the scene.

The fatal goof by the al-Qaida breakaway group that dominates the Sunni insurgency in Iraq happened on the same day that the speaker of the Iraqi parliament, a prominent Sunni whom the militants consider a traitor, escaped unhurt from a roadside bomb attack on his motorcade in the northern city of Mosul.   Continue reading “Iraqi militants accidentally kill 21 of their own”

A newly-released email shows that 11 days after the killing of terror leader Osama bin Laden in 2011, the U.S. military’s top special operations officer ordered subordinates to destroy any photographs of the al-Qaida founder’s corpse or turn them over to the CIA.

The email was obtained under a freedom of information request by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. The document, released Monday by the group, shows that Adm. William McRaven, who heads the U.S. Special Operations Command, told military officers on May 13, 2011 that photos of bin Laden’s remains should have been sent to the CIA or already destroyed. Bin Laden was killed by a special operations team in Pakistan on May 2, 2011.   Continue reading “Email Shows Effort to Shield Bin Laden Photos”
