TOKYO, Oct 9 (Reuters) – Six workers at Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant were exposed to a leak of highly radioactive water on Wednesday, the latest in a string of mishaps the country’s nuclear watchdog has attributed to carelessness, saying they could have been avoided.

Tokyo Electric Power Co, also known as Tepco, has been battling to contain radioactive water at the plant, which suffered triple meltdowns and hydrogen explosions following a devastating earthquake in March 2011.   Continue reading “Latest leak at Japan’s Fukushima plant contaminates 6 workers”

Just weeks after an Ohio court ruled that medical authorities could not force chemotherapy upon a 10-year-old Amish girl against the wishes of her parents, an appeals court overturned the rule, allowing the hospital — which profits from chemotherapy treatments — to force this girl to receive chemotherapy against the wishes of her parents.

This is, essentially, chemotherapy at gunpoint or what I call “predatory medicine.” If the parents refuse the court order, they will be arrested at gunpoint and charged with various crimes. The Akron Children’s Hospital, which stands to profit from this decision, is the new medical mafia, poisoning children with mandatory “life sentences” handed down by a corrupt, medically ignorant justice system.   Continue reading “Court rules Amish girl to be forcefully poisoned with chemotherapy; Akron Children’s Hospital now practicing predatory medicine”

In the past week, several online media outlets have noted a series of plain, white billboards that have popped up in New York and California bearing ominous surveillance-state messages like “YOUR DATA SHOULD BELONG TO THE NSA” and “THE INTERNET SHOULD BE REGULATED.”   Continue reading “Here’s Who Is Behind Those Creepy Billboards That Say ‘Your Data Should Belong To The NSA’”

He never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to act responsibly. He’s too set in his ways. He’s too far gone to change. He’s off the rails entirely.

It shows every time he speaks. He puts his foot in his mouth. One day he’ll risk swallowing it.

His 2012 UN address was abhorrent. He made a fool out of himself before a world audience. He did again on October 1.    Continue reading “Netanyahu: His Own Worst Enemy”

NEW YORK – Can the federal government confiscate all the deposits in an American citizen’s FDIC-insured bank account?

The answer is “Yes.”

As WND reported, the Dodd-Frank bill allows the federal government to confiscate bank deposits in an unlimited “bail-in” for banks “too big to fail,” provided the account holder gets equity in exchange for the deposits.   Continue reading “Yes, Feds Can Take Your Deposits”

The Bilzerian Report – by Alcibiades Bilzerian

It’s no coincidence that America’s federal income tax was implemented in the same year as the United States Federal Reserve. A Federal Reserve needs to be backed by a significant, expandable government revenue source to be credible. If a government is operating efficiently, balancing its budget with revenue from tariffs (as America was doing prior to federal income taxation), then a central bank which seeks to print billions or trillions of dollars and set the interest rates for the nation would have no credibility. Expanding tariff revenue is severely limited compared to the ability of a corrupt government to expand income tax revenue, therefore, creating massive government debts through the expansion of the monetary base would inevitably lead to immediate inflation, default, and economic collapse in a tariff-financed economy.   Continue reading “America’s Tax Code Is Made By Banksters For Banksters”

While the federal and state governments continue to cut programs for education, scientific research, and the environment, the Pentagon continues to spend wildly on items and them toss them out. We recently saw how they prefer to deliver bags of money to Karzai, buy Russian aircraft that Afghans can’t fly or maintain, or build huge buildings to be then torn down unused. Of course, no one is ever fired for constructing massive buildings that no one wants only to tear them down. After all, these are contracts going to powerful companies with friends in the government.   Continue reading “Military Buying Italian Planes At $50 Million A Piece . . .

Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver announced last year that Warren Kortz, a general surgeon on the medical staff, was the first in the Rocky Mountain region to use a technique known as robotic surgery to remove gall bladders through one incision in the belly button.

The operation, performed while the doctor sits at a video-game-like console, was “taking advantage of another breakthrough in robotic surgery” and is “easier on the patient,” the hospital said in a press release.   Continue reading “Robot Surgery Damaging Patients Rises With Marketing”

With sales of foods labeled gluten free now reaching over 6 billion dollars a year, something truly profound is happening to the way in which Americans are perceiving the role of wheat in their diets. Once celebrated as the very poster-child of the health food movement, folks are increasingly rejecting this “king of grains,” and are now identifying it as being at the very root of their health problems.   Continue reading “Modern Wheat Really Isn’t Wheat At All”

Why would the president of the United States try to purposely hurt the American people?  Well, in 2013 this is done in order to score political points and force the opposition in to doing what you want them to do.  A few days ago, an angry Park Service ranger publicly admitted that he and his fellow rangers have been ordered to “make life as difficult for people as we can” during this government shutdown.  That Park Service ranger would never have received such an order unless it came from the very top.  Apparently the Obama administration plans to cause as much pain as possible until Obama gets everything that he is demanding.    Continue reading “Extreme Hypocrisy!

There is no reason to believe that radiation leaks at Fukushima will be contained by 2020, so the Tokyo Olympics can become impossible, nuclear technology historian Robert Jacobs told RT.

Last August Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) for the first time requested international help in its increasingly desperate fight to contain the leaks at the crippled nuclear plant. Historian of social and cultural aspects of nuclear technology and Associate Professor at Hiroshima Peace University, Robert Jacobs believes this means the problem is catastrophically large.   Continue reading “‘Fukushima might make 2020 Tokyo Olympics impossible’”

We now learn that cops were among the bikers who attacked a traveling family in New York and took an active role in the beating. Two lessons jump out at me:

1. Given a choice, try to avoid jurisdictions like New York, New Jersey, DC and California. Places where armed self-defense is restricted or illegal are also locations where “law enforcement” tends to act in criminal ways.

2. Make sure that all adults and teenagers in your family can use weapons. Practice using small arms from a vehicle (which is quite difficult to do effective and safely), so that the driver can concentrate on escaping the threats while another family member can shoot down boarders if necessary.  Continue reading “Two lessons from the biker attack on a family in NY”
