How’s this for apocalyptic literature.
This was written by a pastor’s wife in biblical prose as a commentary of current events. It is brilliant.

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity
That the people of the land Called America ,
Having lost their morals, their initiative,
And their Will to defend their liberties,
Chose as their Supreme Leader that
Person known as “The One.”   Continue reading “Supreme Leader Obama is ‘The One’”

Nationwide glitch: The problem was fixed quickly - but will still be an embarrassment to Britain's biggest building societyDaily Mail – by Lee Boyce

The country’s biggest building society was hit with a systems failure today that prevented customers checking their current account online and showed savings balances as zero.

The glitch in Nationwide’s online banking lasted only an hour and affected a ‘small’ number of customers – but lender will be embarrassed as it tries to attract current account customers now more inclined to switch banks after new rules have made it easier.   Continue reading “Nationwide online banking glitch shows savings accounts as empty – just as customers look to switch from rival banks”

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, Soitec, CEA-Leti and the Helmholtz Center Berlin jointly announced today having achieved a new world record for the conversion of sunlight into electricity using a new solar cell structure with four solar subcells. Surpassing competition after only over three years of research, and entering the roadmap at world class level, a new record efficiency of 44.7% was measured at a concentration of 297 suns. This indicates that 44.7% of the solar spectrum’s energy, from ultraviolet through to the infrared, is converted into electrical energy. This is a major step towards reducing further the costs of solar electricity and continues to pave the way to the 50% efficiency roadmap.   Continue reading “World Record Solar Cell With 44.7% Efficiency”

Can’t afford the premiums. Don’t need health insurance. Won’t support Obamacare.

These are some of the reasons why CNNMoney readers say they’ll opt to pay a penalty for not having health insurance in 2014, rather than sign up for a policy in the state-based exchanges or through their companies.   Continue reading “No thanks, Obamacare. I’ll pay the penalty”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Greek government authorities are on alert after a union of Greek army reservists of Special Forces issued a statement urging the Greek administration to step down and make way for a national unity government. As Keep Talking Greece notes, the statement on the union’ website included 15 demands – including the resignation of the Greek President – and urged people to gather at the infamous Syntagma Square on Saturday. The statement was interpreted by some as a call to a “coup d’etat” – denied by the union – but prompted Greece’s Supreme Court to meet to discuss it.   Continue reading “Greece On The Verge?

By readers’ request, this is a reposting of a translation of a Pakistani National TV interview with an eyewitness to the alleged SEAL Team Six attack that allegedly killed Osama bin Laden. I made the translation available two years ago in an article prior to the creation of this website.

Before you believe “your” government’s lies about Syria, remember “your” government’s lies about Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction.” Remember Washington’s lies about the Gulf of Tonkin that unleashed the Vietnam war. Remember the lies about Gaddafi and Libya. Remember the lies about 9/11, the lies about the murders of JFK, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. Remember the Northwoods Project that the Joint Chiefs of Staff wanted President John F. Kennedy to embrace.   Continue reading “Osama Bin Laden raid exposed as a complete lie by Pakistani National TV”

1. President Obama’s opening lines at the U.N. on Tuesday looked down on people who would think to settle disputes with war. Obama was disingenuously avoiding the fact that earlier this month he sought to drop missiles into a country to “send a message” but was blocked by the U.S. Congress, the U.N., the nations of the world, and popular opposition — after which Obama arrived at diplomacy as a last resort.   Continue reading “Top 45 Lies in Obama’s Speech at UN”

KrokodilFox News 

Krokodil, a flesh-eating drug which first surfaced in Russia more than a decade ago, has reportedly been found in the United States.

Similar to morphine or heroin, krokodil is made by mixing codeine with substances like gasoline, paint thinner, oil or alcohol. That mixture is then injected into a vein, potentially causing an addict’s skin to turn greenish, scaly and eventually rot away.  Continue reading “First cases of flesh-eating drug Krokodil surface in US”

The Vera Institute of Justice study  “Coming of Age with Stop and Frisk: Experiences, Self-Perceptions, and Public Safety Implications” examines the experiences of those growing up in the neighborhoods in New York City where people are most likely to be stopped. The study surveyed over 500 young adults and conducted in-depth interviews nearly 50 more, and paints a rich picture of what actually happens during stops, and why this matters for the safety of the most heavily policed communities.   Continue reading “‘Stop & Frisk’ was ruled unconstitutional so why is it expanding to police dept’s. across the U.S.?”

Russia and China are once again holding large-scale war games together in a move that the United Nations is now planning counter actions against. What are Russia and China preparing for and who, if not the US, are they ‘war game playing’ against? This new story is currently being featured on the front page of the Drudge Report and seems to signal a new level of preparedness on the part of countries across the world. Russian officials have also denied reports that the drills would include a nuclear attack on Warsaw, Poland.   Continue reading “Russia, China Hold Large-Scale War Games”
