First, from Communist China.  The Reuters caption reads: “A policeman (2nd L) of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) controls a mock rioter during a SWAT police performance drill at a training base in Xi’an, Shaanxi province October 30, 2013.”

Next, from Communist America (via Instapundit):

David Eckert, a resident of Deming, NM, was pulled over by police officers after failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. For whatever reason, the officers decided Eckert was hiding something, or perhaps they were unsatisfied that a routine stop hadn’t blown up into something bigger.    Continue reading “This Is What Totalitarianism Looks Like”

Diarrhea from contaminated drinking water is second only to pneumonia as a cause of childhood deaths worldwide. More than 2,000 children die every day as a result of diarrheal illnesses. The Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) program, a humanitarian effort led by Procter & Gamble, has distributed water-purification packets, which transform cloudy, brown water into crystal-clear, drinkable water that meets all the requirements for drinking water.   Continue reading “Water-purification plant the size of a fast-food ketchup packet saves lives”

NEW YORK CITY — Outgoing Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly wants to take half a dozen detectives to protect him and his family after he leaves the NYPD, DNAinfo New York has learned.

Citing the fact that he will remain a “high profile target” after he leaves office, Kelly informed insiders at Police Headquarters that he will request the contingent of detectives — each will remain on the city payroll making about $120,000 a year — to shepherd him around town and protect him and his family during their travels, sources told “On the Inside.”   Continue reading “Ray Kelly Wants 6 Detective Detail When He Leaves Office”

MIAMI (AP) — After raising a shackled right hand and swearing to tell the truth, U.S.-to-Cuba airline hijacker William Potts told a judge Thursday he had an objection at his first federal court appearance to face decades-old air piracy charges.

“I would like to — I’m new at this stuff,” Potts told U.S. Magistrate Judge Alicia Otazo-Reyes. “With total respect — I have to protest these proceedings.” But Otazo-Reyes cut Potts off before he could explain, saying all she wanted to know was whether he could afford a lawyer. Potts said he had earned about 200 Cuban pesos a month as a farmer outside Havana and had no other appreciable assets or income.   Continue reading “Cuba hijacker makes 1st US court appearance”

Can serious-minded fiction play a role in creating a better understanding of critical contemporary social/political issues like 9/11? Is there a body of 9/11-related fiction? This seems to me a subject worthy of editorial inquiry.

Thanks to the Internet and an increasing number of enterprising and courageous individuals, the information now available on a 9/11 cover-up is voluminous and convincing. But my perception is that Americans’ understanding of this wealth of evidence, or willingness even to consider it, is a small fraction of what it could and needs to be in a nation requiring “eternal vigilance” by a responsible citizenry to remain free. The choir is being preached to with brilliance and passion, but it’s time to enlarge the congregation. Exponentially.   Continue reading “FALSE FLAG: a fact-based narrative with fictional characters about the 9/11 cover-up”

Mayor Bloomberg’s most-trusted NYPD bodyguards will hit the jackpot when he leaves office next year — retiring with cushy pensions and starting new, high-paying jobs for the billionaire media mogul.

WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/AP) —Nutritionists call them one of the worst fats and a leading contributor to heart attacks.

Now, the Food and Drug Administration is taking steps to ban trans fats.

In 2006, New York City issued a first-of-its-kind rule restricting artificial trans fat in restaurants, forcing them to alter recipes so that foods contained no more than 0.5 grams per serving. The change affected customers beyond New York as big chains like McDonald’s wound up cutting the fat system-wide.   Continue reading “FDA To Ban Artery-Clogging Trans Fats”

Vancouver Sun, Nov. 6, 2013: An extraordinary string of recent whale encounters around Vancouver Island is likely due to luck, not one factor, experts say. “This has not been a typical year,” said John Ford, head of the cetacean research program at Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo.

Mike Judge’s film Idiocracy was a satire about America 500 years in the future having turned into a nation of morons. Idiots had lots of children and intelligent people stopped reproducing. Obamacare’s deductibles could turn us into a nation of welfare recipients in just one generation.

Obamacre is forcing tens of millions of Americans who do not currently have state assisted Medicaid to calculate their budgets. Of obvious concern to families is their higher insurance premiums and healthcare deductibles. A major concern for us a society that wants to survive should be what will Obamacare’s higher premiums and deductibles do to those couples planning to have children.   Continue reading “Obamacare Deductibles Will Get Us To Mike Judge’s Idiocracy In One Generation”

Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder to ask the Department of Justice to fund GPS tracking devices for autistic children–even though there are private companies that already offer this service.

14-year old Avonte Oquendo disappeared from his Long Island school a month ago. He has autism and does not speak. Unfortunately, he has not been found.
