Pride’s Purge – by Tom Pride

Scientists and ornithology experts are saying they are baffled as to how a pair of great tits – known by their Latin name Parus Major – have managed to take up residence in a residential street in central Westminster.

At the Forward, JJ Goldberg gets to the bottom of US policy: he says US aid to Egypt cannot be withheld because it’s “bad for the Jews.”

the course of action that seems self-evidently proper to right-minded Americans — punishing the Egyptian military, ending military cooperation, suspending aid — will almost certainly have a catastrophic impact on Israel’s peace with Egypt….

The fight for the truth about the death of Princess Diana took a surprising turn this weekend when a former SAS black-ops soldier let slip how his hit squad was behind the murder of Princess Diana. Expect this latest bombshell to be relegated to the annals of conspiracy theory lore, and for the said soldier’s testimony to written off by mainstream pundits as mere Walter Mitty nonsense.

It seems very clear to me that…
Syria has now been attacked with at least 4tactical nuclear weapons.

It is awfully ironic that an inhuman weapon such as nuclear weapons and chemical weapons could be used to promote human rights and freedom in the world. Continue reading “Confirmed? Syria has been Nuked 4 Times now.”

Swarms Post: Two farmers, Mike Hartmann and Alvin Schlangen, head to court this week. Just last Thursday, Hartman was stopped and his truck impounded.

The plight of two Minnesota raw milk providers and those families who depend on them seems to get worse by the minute. As the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) continues to prosecute the two main providers of raw milk in the state, the real story becomes clear: the state wants to completely shut down raw milk, criminalize those who provide it, and make a living hell for the two peaceful men who serve their community so lovingly and consistently.

Ventura County Tea Party – by George Miller

The world turned upside down. USA supporting Jihadists, Russia and Saudi Arabai trying to stop them. Dump Obama before he destroys us.

In case you don’t remember, the Saudi King refused to even talk to Obama for a long time after the overthrow of his friend Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, supported and funded in part by Obama. Now, not only are the King and the Russian President vowing to back General Sisi against the Brotherhood, they are putting their money where their mouths are, more than making up for Obama’s threat to cut off $1.3 billion.

Mother Jones – by Jonah Engle

With big profits on the line, the drug industry is pulling out campaign-style dirty tricks to keep selling the meds that cooks turn into crank.

THE FIRST TIME she saw her mother passed out on the living room floor, Amanda thought she was dead. There were muddy tracks on the carpet and the room looked like it had been ransacked. Mary wouldn’t wake up. When she finally came to, she insisted nothing was wrong. But as the weeks passed, her 15-year-old daughter’s sense of foreboding grew. Amanda’s parents stopped sleeping and eating. Her once heavy mother turned gaunt and her father, Barry, stopped going to work. She was embarrassed to go into town with him; he was covered in open sores. A musty stink gripped their increasingly chaotic trailer. The driveway filled up with cars as strangers came to the house and partied all night. Continue reading “Merchants of Meth: How Big Pharma Keeps the Cooks in Business”

Germany is set to become the first country in Europe to introduce a third, “indeterminate” gender designation on birth certificates. The European Union, which is attempting to coordinate anti-discrimination efforts across member states, is lagging behind on the issue.

The option of selecting “blank”, in addition to the standard choices of “male” or female” on birth certificates will become available in Germany from November 1. The legislative change allows parents to opt out of determining their baby’s gender, thereby allowing those born with characteristics of both sexes to choose whether to become male or female in later life. Under the new law, individuals can also opt to remain outside the gender binary altogether. Continue reading “M, F or Blank: ‘Third Gender’ Official in Germany from November”
