The reason Syria developed bio-weapons in the first place was for defense against Israeli nukes.
Although Syria’s weapons of mass destruction—chemical weapons, in this instance—are now the focus of global media attention, what is largely suppressed in the mainstream media is the “back story” as to why Syria even has chemical weapons in the first place.

Just when you think our cities cannot become more crowded, our air more polluted, our highways more gridlocked, our schools more crunched, and our impending water shortages more critical in seven states—Congress expects to jump legal immigration from 1.0 million annually to 2.0 million annually.
The collective IQ of our U.S. Congress members cannot possibly exceed double digits. With our enormous $16.5 trillion debt, 47 million Americans and non-Americans subsisting on food stamps and our huge unemployment crisis—our “Gang of Eight” U.S. Senators foisted on the House of Representatives an amnesty bill, S744, that doubles the current legal immigration annually to 2.0 million immigrants every year for the rest of this century.

Once again, North Korea has threatened to annihilate the US and South Korea if the two countries follow through with a pre-emptive attack upon North Korea’s nuclear facilities. If South Korea and America choose to launch pre-emptive strikes against North Korea, N. Korea has announced that they will follow through with ‘ruthless pre-emptive strikes of annihilation’ upon South Korea and the US. The report below comes to us from International Business Times with an in depth video report on current US/Korea military issues also below. Continue reading “N. Korea Threatens Strikes On US & South Korea, Again”
SAN FRANCISCO — MasterCard is joining the FIDO Alliance, signaling that the payment network is getting interested in using fingerprints and other biometric data to identify people for online payments.
MasterCard will be the first major payment network to join FIDO. The Alliance is developing an open industry standard for biometric data such as fingerprints to be used for identification online. The goal is to replace clunky passwords and take friction out of logging on and purchasing using mobile devices. Continue reading “MasterCard joining push for fingerprint ID standard”
A teenager who claimed “sarcasm” after talking on Facebook about shooting up a kindergarten spent months in jail this year for making a “terroristic threat.” Over the summer, Instagram photos of guns and money led to New York City’s largest gun bust ever. A mom’s Facebook photo of her baby with a bong led to her 2010 arrest.
While criminals — or those guilty of ill-placed sarcasm — aren’t wising up about social media oversharing, tools for monitoring Americans online are increasingly accessible and affordable to authorities, no NSA-level clearance required. Those in charge are monitoring more and more and social networks are happy to comply, especially where extra revenue is involved.

Last week, for the first time since the 1979 Iranian revolution, the US president spoke with his Iranian counterpart. Their 15 minute telephone call was reported to open the door to further high-level discussions. This is a very important event.
I have been saying for years that we should just talk to the Iranians. After all, we talked to the Soviets when they actually had thousands of nuclear missiles pointed at us! The Iranians have none, according to our own intelligence services. I even suggested a few years ago that we should “offer friendship” to them. Unfortunately, so many so-called experts have a stake in keeping tensions high and pushing us to war. They did not want to hear what I was saying. It seems, though, this is beginning to change now with these recent events. Continue reading “An Opening to Iran?”

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is blocking the main whistleblower in the Fast and Furious case from publishing a book, claiming his retelling of the Mexico “gun-walking” scandal will hurt morale inside the embattled law enforcement agency, according to documents obtained by The Washington Times.
ATF’s dispute with Special Agent John Dodson is setting up a First Amendment showdown that is poised to bring together liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and conservatives in Congress who have championed Mr. Dodson’s protection as a whistleblower.

Take a look at these third grade Common Core worksheets [Correction: Common Core-aligned worksheets].*
The first story for third graders takes a twisted social work approach to learning. The next story is about a cheating husband and father, and, again, it’s for third grade. Continue reading “Common Core Reaches a New Low – Check This Out!”

Ben S. Bernanke, the world’s most-powerful central banker, says he doesn’t understand gold prices. If his peers had paid attention, they might have stopped expanding reserves that lost $545 billion in value since bullion peaked in 2011.
Bernanke, who holds economics degrees from Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and led the Federal Reserve through the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression, told the Senate Banking Committee in July that “nobody really understands gold prices and I don’t pretend to really understand them either.” Continue reading “Gold Befuddles Bernanke as Central Banks’ Losses at $545 Billion”

Last night, staying in a pension on Korea’s southwest coast, I was about to hit the hay when a Facebook friend sent me the following link:
http://therebel.org/news/andrew-macgregor/joe-vialls-ari-and-jim-stone-in-the-mouse-that-roared/
I clicked. I waited. The article wouldn’t load. I stepped outside for some fresh air. When I came back, the server had timed out. I clicked again and again. Again and again, the same result. I told my friend it would have to wait for morning and went to bed. Continue reading “James Is Not Jim Is Not Joe”

The official Amber Alert page is www.amberalert.gov.
The Amber Alert is a national program that alerts the public when a child has been abducted. The Department of Justice broadcasts specific information about missing children so the public can be on the look out for the child and/or the abductor.

Obamacare is going to crash and burn from technical issues more than political concerns, it seems. You’ve probably already heard that virtually no one can sign up using the online Obamacare exchanges. The web forms are broken. The code is buggy. The data integration is a jaw-dropping failure.
This is why, all over the country and across the media, no one can seem to locate anyone who has successfully signed up through Healthcare.gov. Even the one person the Obama administration rolled out as a “success case” turns out to be completely staged and fabricated.

Shakespeare said ‘All the world is a stage’ but why do I have to be shamed by a President who plays the part of a buffoon in the final act of the play called world history. I knew when I was 8 years-old that I was born in a dying land. That is why I never married and had children. What’s the point? America was through. It had no future. Sure. There will always be a remnant. Some younger people can and will survive.
I have made plans for the survivors that they may live and prosper but I personally would prefer not to be amongst them. Continue reading “Barack Hussein Obama, You Are A Buffoon.”

These days genetic modification of the food supply is rather prevalent. With genetic modification being linked to sterility and infant mortality, it is something that should be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, food products containing genetically modified organisms are often not properly labeled, leading to unknowing consumption of genetically modified ingredients. Learn how to identify which products are genetically modified, and avoid this major health risk. Continue reading “How to Know if Your Food is Conventional, Organic, or Genetically Modified”

Are you aware of nanotechnology and nanoparticles? Nanoparticles are tiny—like really tiny. A piece of your hair is about 100,000 nanometers wide; it’s the unit of measurement that your fingernails grow in a single second, but their size isn’t the only problem. Nanoparticles are potentially toxic, according to the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), and they are found in everything from certified organic foods to clothing.

Russian scientists confirmed on Monday that a tracking station at Lake Baikal in Siberia spotted the 15-metre object, monitoring it for nine hours. It flew within 11,300 km of the Earth’s surface – and initially observers thought it was an artificial object, for example a spent rocket booster, but found no known space junk that could account for it.
The asteroid ‘was discovered on Friday night by our station near Lake Baikal and nine hours later it flew within 11,300 km of the Earth’s surface, below the orbit of geostationary satellites. It was about 15 meters in size,’ said Vladimir Lipunov of the Moscow State University and the Sternberg Astronomical Institute.

2013 Report of Study Group on Radionuclide Science in the North Pacific Ocean (PICES, an intergovernmental scientific organization made up of Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Russia, and the U.S.): […] Chairman Dr. Zhang […] pointed out that the widespread application of nuclear science and technology and a recent nuclear power plant accident [Fukushima Daiichi] had led to increasing amounts of radionuclides released into the North Pacific. In addition, the long half-life radionuclides could potentially endanger the marine ecosystem, including human health through food chain exposures. Consequently, it is important to monitor the radiation exposure level and assess the effects of radioactive substances on marine ecosystems in the North Pacific waters.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities Sunday were investigating what touched off a wild “running gun battle” inside and outside a Fresno motorcycle club’s annual dance, leaving one man dead and a dozen others wounded.
Shots were still being fired at 2 a.m. Saturday when the first of more than 100 law enforcement officers arrived at the Soul Brothers clubhouse near Fresno, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said.
The gunfire erupted during the Soul Brothers’ annual dance, which draws bikers and other motorcycle clubs from all over the state. About 500 people were inside the warehouse-like clubhouse when the shooting started. Continue reading “Gunfight at Fresno biker club kills 1, wounds 12”
