The Justice Department is spending more than $500,000 to “enhance” its company profile on LinkedIn and increase its “brand awareness.”
The contract, awarded on Christmas Eve, gives the government “unlimited access” to each of the networking site’s 250 million users through LinkedIn’s “Recruiter” service. Continue reading “Justice Department spending $544,338 for an ‘enhanced company profile’ on LinkedIn”
Incredible. For residents of LA County who seek energy independence, you are a target.
Antelope Valley is a significant stretch of desert on the fringe of LA County, and its rugged off-grid individualists are under attack. In the name of “code violations”, armed government ‘NATS’ goon squads are targeting solar energy homes with steep administration charges and fines – and in many cases, forcing lawful residents from their homes (see videos below).

The times, they are a changin’, and in Denver, you can tell by the smoke signals.
It is now legal to buy and sell marijuana for recreational use in Colorado. Demand is so high (woops, there’s a pun!), the Denver Post reports, one shop started price gouging. Not cool. Continue reading “Mile High: Denver Celebrates 2014 With Legal Recreational Marijuana”
Not even the full power of the feared federal government can quash the ingenuity and free enterprise that runs through the veins of American entrepreneurs.
Take, for example, the national ban on incandescent light bulbs in favor of low-energy units. Seventy-five watt and higher incandescent bulbs dropped off store shelves a year ago, and the popular 40s and 60s will disappear Jan. 1. Continue reading “American Ingenuity Bypasses Incandescent Ban”
The nuclear emergency in Japan continues to escalate. Dangerous levels of radiation are leaking from the earthquake-damaged reactors at Fukushima Dai-ichi and incidents are feared at other power plants. Those working to contain the meltdowns or living nearby are at the greatest risk. Here is what radiation sickness looks like. Continue reading “10 Symptoms Of Radiation Sickness”

Although not considered a favorite of the Western palate, organ meats such as liver and heart are the superfoods of the animal kingdom and are some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat.
Dr. Weston Price traveled the world studying diets of traditional cultures and found organ meats were nearly universally prized, primarily for their incomparable nutrient content. Continue reading “Hardly Anyone Eats This Meat, Yet It’s a Vitamin-Packed Superfood”

While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to waste millions of taxpayer dollars every year persecuting raw milk farmers who produce a living and highly-nutritious whole food, the factory farm industry is busy getting away with stocking grocery store shelves with a potentially-deadly food product that a recent Consumer Reports investigation found is contaminated up to 97 percent of the time. Continue reading “97 percent of raw chicken is contaminated, but health officials still aggressively target raw milk”

Today, 13 November 2013, WikiLeaks released the secret negotiated draft text for the entire TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) Intellectual Property Rights Chapter. The TPP is the largest-ever economic treaty, encompassing nations representing more than 40 per cent of the world’s GDP. The WikiLeaks release of the text comes ahead of the decisive TPP Chief Negotiators summit in Salt Lake City, Utah, on 19-24 November 2013. The chapter published by WikiLeaks is perhaps the most controversial chapter of the TPP due to its wide-ranging effects on medicines, publishers, internet services, civil liberties and biological patents. Significantly, the released text includes the negotiation positions and disagreements between all 12 prospective member states. Continue reading “Secret Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP)”

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Following a string of explosive accidents, federal officials said Thursday that crude oil being shipped by rail from the Northern Plains across the U.S. and Canada may be more flammable than traditional forms of oil.
A safety alert issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation warns the public, emergency responders and shippers about the potential high volatility of crude from the Bakken oil patch. The sprawling oil shale reserve is fueling the surging industry in eastern Montana and western North Dakota, which is now the nation’s second-largest oil producer behind Texas.

Starting on Jan. 2, every single D.C. resident who has registered a firearm since 1976 must go to police headquarters to pay a $48 fee and be photographed and fingerprinted. Continue reading “Gun re-registration begins in D.C., may lead to arrest and confiscation”

On December 28, I saw a Fukushima radiation hysteria article titled ” Fukushima Radiation Hits San Francisco! (Dec 2013) ” posted to my Yahoo E-Y discussion forum on Dec. 28, 2013 by a forum member named Greko. It was yet another Japan radiation hysteria article among dozens posted to the internet daily by either paranoid, uninformed individuals (as in this case), or are propaganda presentations (E.g. enenews.com), intended to deceive. This posting referred to a Youtube video (shown further below) taken by a man named “Dave” on December 23, 2013 at a beach near San Mateo (in northern California) called Surfer’s Beach. So far, Dave’s video has registered 353,000 views since he posted it on December 24 (undoubtedly greatly helped by Jeff Rense’s promotion of the video and its sensational title).

Now that New York City Mayor and far-left Democrat Bill de Blasio has chosen Carmen Farina to become chancellor of NYC schools, city residents can expect a sharp turn to the left on education policy.
Farina, a former teacher and long-time adviser to de Blasio, shares the mayor’s desire to foist a “progressive agenda” upon NYC schools, she said at a news conference earlier this week. Continue reading “It begins: New NYC schools chancellor will push ‘progressive agenda’”

BEIRUT (AP) — An explosion tore through a crowded commercial street Thursday in a south Beirut neighborhood that is bastion of support for the Shiite group Hezbollah, killing at least five people, setting cars ablaze and sending a column of black smoke above the Beirut skyline.
The nature of the blast that hit during rush hour in the Haret Hreik neighborhood was not immediately clear, but a Lebanese security official said it appeared to be caused by a car bomb. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. Continue reading “Blast in Hezbollah-run area of Beirut kills 5”

The 648-foot MV Cape Ray is undergoing work in a Portsmouth shipyard before sea trials and its expected voyage to the Mediterranean.

The following was delivered as a speech at the second National Policy Institute’s conference, which was held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC, on October 26th.

There may be a collapse. It could happen. It could happen tomorrow. Vengeful gods could hurl boulders from the sky, cleansing the earth with fires and floods. There could be blood in the streets and gnashing of teeth. A plague of locusts or killer bees, some Chinese flu, or the Zombie Apocalypse. Your debit cards might run empty and your “smart”phones might get real dumb. We may be forced to band together in primal gangs and fight for survival. We may be forced by circumstances beyond our control to rediscover lifeways more familiar to our species—to our ancestral brains—than this endless, banal sprawl of corporate parks and shopping malls.
