Before It’s News – by Live Free or Die

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, we learn that China has a new ‘weapon’ that will turn you and I and entire cities into ‘basket cases‘. Before I go any further, I have to ask, have they already used this upon Washington DC and Capitol Hill and most big cities in America? It might certainly explain….well, you know…never mind. This ‘weapon’ sure sounds like what the US shadow govt. uses upon those who dissent, putting them through electronic torture and harassment. A video about electronic harassment via directed energy weapons is below. Directed energy weapons are real, they are here, and we are the target. This story from Bloomberg shares of China’s new propaganda ‘weapon’ and the tweets about it that have gone viral in China.    Continue reading “China’s New Basket Case Weapon Will Turn Entire Cities Into Basket Cases”

Freedom Outpost – by John Risselada

If you haven’t been able to put two and two together yet, the spectacle we just witnessed as the George Zimmerman trial wasn’t really about George Zimmerman at all. It wasn’t a trial to find real justice and it wasn’t even a trial where George Zimmerman was the accused. It wasn’t about Trayvon Martin or the perceived injustice of a white guy who wasn’t white being racist against a poor, oppressed black kid. Nope, this was a trial where the nation’s self-defense laws were the accused and it was designed explicitly to get the new generation of ding dongs educated in social change and social justice to believe that drastic steps need to be taken to change our nations out dated gun laws. Ding dongs incidentally, that haven’t had an honest discussion about liberty and the constitution since the third grade.   Continue reading “The Zimmerman Trial Was Ultimately About Going After Guns & Self-Defense Laws”

The film is set in Indonesia, where, beginning in 1965, military and paramilitary forces slaughtered up to a million Indonesians after overthrowing the democratically elected government. That military was backed by the United States and led by General Suharto, who would rule Indonesia for decades.

There has been no truth and reconciliation commission, nor have any of the murderers been brought to justice. As the film reveals, Indonesia is a country where the killers are to this day celebrated as heroes by many.

You’d think the only thing happening in the world right now is the Trayvon Martin case.  Perhaps that’s the  intention of TPTB.  In the last few days of the Zimmerman trial, over 20 children were shot in Chicago, but no one really noticed.  I agree without argument or ceremony that both sides, Zimmerman and Trayvon, were in the wrong.  That said, we need to move on to equally or more pressing issues and avoid the theatrics designed to distract us.

Issues that are at  least if not more pressing include Bernanke and the FED admitting that dollar collapse would be imminent as soon as the FED stops pumping “QE Infinity”.  This is very significant because apparently there are only two alternatives – inflation ad infinitum or dollar collapse.  But the country being so involved in the soap opera that was the Zimmerman trial and related events, no body seemed to notice much.   Continue reading “What Kind of World?”

Monsanto and their biotech buddies would have you believe that they are super-heroes, set on saving hungry children from starvation wearing a dazzling fake-green cape. In fact, in a recent attack on activists, Monsanto’s CEO Hugh Grant said that because critics “can afford” organic food, we don’t care about the plight of those who can’t afford it. “There is this strange kind of reverse elitism: If I’m going to do this, then everything else shouldn’t exist,” said Grant. “There is space in the supermarket shelf for all of us.”   Continue reading “The 10 GMO Myths That Monsanto Wants You to Believe”

Pepsi Plans to Drop Disputed Cancer ChemicalBusiness Week – by Venessa Wong

A report released just before July 4th by an environmental group seems to have gotten lost in the holiday weekend haze, despite findings that link cola and cancer. Pepsi (PEP) continues to sell sodas made with4-methylimidazole, or 4-MEI—ruled a carcinogen last year by the state of California—according to the Center For Environmental Health.   Continue reading “Pepsi Plans to Drop Disputed Cancer Chemical”

The American Civil LIberties Union (ACLU) is filing lawsuits in strategic states to remove the medical ban on homosexuals donating blood and plasma.

Never mind that just 30 years ago, in the early days of AIDS, thousands of innocent women, children and men died of AIDS from infected blood transfusions.  Dozens of medical workers in blood donation centers contracted the disease from contact with contaminated blood.   Continue reading “Bad Blood: The Gay Drive to Donate”

According to a new survey of America’s beekeepers, almost a third of the country’s honeybee colonies did not make it through the winter.

That’s been the case, in fact, almost every year since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began this annual survey, six years ago.   Continue reading “Bee Deaths May Have Reached A Crisis Point For Crops”

DebtThe Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

When you add maturing debt to the new debt that the federal government is accumulating, the total is quite eye catching.  You see, the truth is that the U.S. government must not only borrow enough money to fund government spending for this year, it must also “roll over” existing debt that has reached maturity.

Of course the government never actually pays any of that debt off.  Instead, it essentially takes out new debts to cover the old ones.  So the U.S. government is actually borrowing far more money each year than most Americans realize.    Continue reading “The U.S. Government Will Borrow Close To 4 Trillion Dollars This Year”

China reportedly planning to back the yuan with goldRussian Beyond the Headlines –  by Marina Maksimova

According to media reports of early July, the People’s Bank of China is mulling the possibility of phasing out the dollar as the reference currency for the yuan exchange rate, and to start using gold as the reference point.

The reports have not been confirmed officially, but analysts are warning that the step, if taken, will weaken the yuan and destabilise China’s already troubled economy, ultimately provoking a new bout of the economic crisis worldwide.   Continue reading “China reportedly planning to back the yuan with gold”

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that New York Times journalist James Risen must testify in the trial of a former Central Intelligence Agency officer accused of leaking classified national defense information to the media.

A lower court ruled previously that Risen could protect the source responsible for sharing intelligence about a CIA operation discussed in his writing, but the US Court of Appeals from the Fourth Circuit reversed that decision Friday morning with a 2-1 vote.   Continue reading “Court rules journalists can’t keep their sources secret”

On the heels of a Colorado town’s announcement that it was floating the idea of legalized drone hunting, the Federal Aviation Administration has warned that the practice could result in prosecution and fines.

The small town of Deer Trail, Colorado is currently weighing an ordinance that would grant residents permits to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, and even encourage the practice by awarding a $100 bounty to anyone presenting identifiable pieces of a drone that has been shot out of the sky.    Continue reading “FAA warns Colorado town that shooting down drones could lead to prosecution”

The Obama administration has renewed the authority for the National Security Agency to regularly collect the phone records of millions of Americas as allowed under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

The United States government has reportedly asked the FISA court every 90 days since 2006 to renew an order that compels the nation’s telecommunication providers to hand over telephony metadata pertaining to millions of US citizens. The program has been conducted in near total secrecy, however, until NSA leaker Edward Snowden released top-secret documentation to the Guardian newspaper which caused an international backlash upon being published last month.   Continue reading “FISA court renews NSA surveillance program”

The district judge in the case against Rick Reese, Terri Reese and Ryin Reese had ordered a new trial after a jury came back with mostly not guilty verdicts.
