WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and other ships in its strike group are heading west toward the Red Sea to help support a limited U.S. strike on Syria, if needed, defense officials said on Sunday.

The Nimitz carrier strike group, which includes four destroyers and a cruiser, has no specific orders to move to the eastern Mediterranean at this point, but is moving west in the Arabian Sea so it can do so if asked. It was not immediately clear when the ships would enter the Red Sea, but they had not arrived by Sunday evening, said one official.   Continue reading “USS Nimitz carrier group rerouted for possible help with Syria”

During a short interview with Germany’s DW News last Monday, former US National Security Adviser and Trilateral Commission co-founder Zbigniew Brzezinski commented on the growing inefficiency of war due to the increased political knowledge of the public.

“Given the contemporary reality of what I have called in my writings ‘Global Political Awakening,’ a policy of force based primarily on Western and in some cases former colonial powers does not seem to me a very promising avenue to an eventual solution to the regional problem,” said Brzezinski, referring to the situation in Syria.   Continue reading “Brzezinski: ‘Global Political Awakening’ Making Syrian War Difficult”

Everyone knows water and sunlight are essential to gardening, but what’s a farmer in a drought-struck area to do? Amazingly, some farmers have found a way to grow crops without the H2O and the results are remarkably tasty.

As NPR reports, the technique is known as dry farming. Dry farmers intentionally limit the amount of water they provide to their crops. Though some water is needed in the first few weeks to get the plants going, after that, the farmers cut the supply off entirely.   Continue reading “Farming Without Water? It’s Possible and Tasty”

The National Lottery’s ‘It Could Be You’ advertising campaign was one of the most recognizable of its time, where a cloud formed the shape of a hand and pointed to an unsuspecting winner.

The cloud’s over Fort William in Scotland came up with their own take on the idea, when they formed the shape of a hand and made the sort of gesture that suggested its photographer, Jamie O’Connell, probably need not bother buying a ticket this week.   Continue reading “There’s a message in there somewhere! Dog-walker snaps amazing photo of cloud formation giving him the FINGER”

No one has done more for gun rights in the past two years than Mayor Bloomberg.

Oh, he didn’t mean to. Bloomberg has used his political clout and a significant amount of his fortune to try to chip away at the Second Amendment. He is never more self-righteous and condescending than when he talks about guns.   Continue reading “Mayor Bloomberg is the best friend of 2nd Amendment advocates”

The USDA has just approved a new generation of GMOs for use with more deadly herbicides than the toxic glyphosate that currently taints farms across America.

You won’t hear about this on the mainstream though – it was all done very quietly in the hopes that no one would notice.

Bayer has developed a soybean that can withstand applications of the toxin isoxaflutole (IFT).   Continue reading “Move Over, Round-up: USDA Approves 2nd Generation GMOs That Can Withstand Even Deadlier Herbicide”

Nearly 1,500 are dead in the worst chemical attack in the 21^st Century, including hundreds of children. A red line has been crossed and America’s prestige and credibility at stake, not just in Syria but for any rogue nation looking to challenge the United States: Iran, North Korea, Venezuela. But getting Congress to approve even limited action in Syria, as President Obama asked them to do today, is going to be tough.

Here are three reasons why:   Continue reading “Three Reasons Congress May Not Approve War In Syria”

While still claiming dictatorial powers to start a war on his own authority, Obama put his unilateral attack on Syria on hold when he received a letter from more than 160 members of the House of Representatives reminding him that to take the country to war without congressional approval is an impeachable offense and when he saw that no country that could serve as cover for a war crime, not even the puppet British government and the NATO puppet states, would support America’s announced military aggression against Syria.   Continue reading “Obama Has Decided That It Is Safer To Buy Congress Than To Go It Alone”

Food irradiation was implemented to eradicate potentially harmful substances that pose health risks to consumers. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has long ago approved irradiation for products including meats, fruits and vegetables. While eliminating dangerous bacteria sounds like a step in the right direction, the research behind food irradiation is highly flawed.   Continue reading “Harmful if swallowed – The dangers of food irradiation”

At the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant, radiation isn’t the only thing leaking out. Each week, it seems there’s another small leak of the truth that has been deliberately hidden from the public. Yesterday, TEPCO finally admitted it has been downplaying the ongoing radiation release levels by a factor of almost twenty.    Continue reading “TEPCO admits deliberately using radiation detectors that give deceptively low readings; radiation leaks far worse than reported”

Before It’s News

Secrecy was paramount.

Britain’s imperial general staff knew there would be outrage if it became known that the government was intending to use its secret stockpile of chemical weapons.

But Winston Churchill, then secretary of state for war, brushed aside their concerns. As a long-term advocate of chemical warfare, he was determined to use them against the Russian Bolsheviks. In the summer of 1919, 94 years before the devastating strike in Syria, Churchill planned and executed a sustained chemical attack on northern Russia.   Continue reading “Nothing New…In the Summer of 1919, Long Before the Chemical Strike In Syria, Winston Churchill Executed A Sustained Chemical Attack On Northern Russia.”

One point that needs to be made, but rarely if ever mentioned, is that in the supposed rationale for US attack on Syria to avenge/prevent claimed civilian deaths by government gas attacks, the US government itself has used similar weapons openly as recently as the FBI/ATF attack on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco Texas in the spring of 1993.

76 men, women and children died in this senseless military style assault which used highly lethal military CS gas as a primary weapon. CS is not a nerve agent and it doesn’t in normal concentrations cause immediate death. But it is highly flammable, persistent and designed to incapacitate targets by causing massive biological reactions including inability to breathe, massive tearing in the eyes, nose bleeds, etc.   Continue reading “The US Uses Gas To Kill Civilians”

Are we witnessing the beginnings of a new military member internet meme?

Military members are donning their uniforms and posting pictures of themselves with signs covering their faces that read, “I didn’t join the [military service branch name] to fight for Al-Quaeda in a Syrian civil war.”

The first image surfaced on the internet a few days ago and now another military member has made their own version.   Continue reading “Military Members Speak Out Against Syrian War Through Anonymous Meme”

Although I did my own personal “final physical relocation for sanity, spirituality and safety’s sake” into the untamed wilds many years ago, for many American city dwellers who are raising kids [ or raising their kids’ kids ], 2013 might present the last opportunity to get out of the big city before life in America takes yet another tick downward on the socio-economic and personal safety scale.

If you have been praying on this issue, or just doing alot of deep thought, with calculator in hand, there’s a list at the end of this post that might help you make up your mind. You might not yet be sure of exactly where you are going, but you can at least know where NOT to go if you choose to relocate.   Continue reading “Is It Time to Relocate?

The Last Resistance – by Philip Hodges

A few days ago, a couple of armed thugs tried to rob two college students in Virginia. As they probably quickly found out, they picked on the wrong guys. And yes, one of the attackers was black. The other appeared to be Latino. And I have no idea what race the victims were. I can guess that since their race is not being reported in the media, that they were probably white. It’s usually portrayed as racist when the media point out that white people are often victims of black attackers.   Continue reading “Police: If You’re Being Attacked, Don’t Try to Defend Yourself”
