Two powerful dairy organizations, The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), are petitioning the Food and Drug Administration to allow aspartame and other artificial sweeteners to be added to milk and other dairy products without a label.

The FDA currently allows the dairy industry to use “nutritive sweeteners” including sugar and high fructose corn syrup in many of their products. Nutritive sweeteners are defined as sweeteners with calories. Continue reading “Aspartame in Milk Without a Label? Big Dairy Petitions FDA For Approval”

We have written many articles about the great culling of our workforce, which is contingent to the complete elimination thereof.  Though it has been going on all along, the fact that the long term unemployed are being denied job opportunities, for no other reason than they are long term unemployed, has come up front and center, with new laws being passed to allow the long term unemployed to sue for the discrimination they are enduring.

Of course the mainstream propagandist representatives of the corporate elite are condemning the idea and saying it will lead to job loss and a diminished product quality.  The fact is that, as a part of the replacement of American workers with third world peasants, once the US workers are removed, they must stay removed.

Repeat a lie often enough, and hopefully people will begin to believe it. That is what a concerted effort by Western media houses hopes to achieve as they claim the recent flow of heavy weapons  from Western nations and their Arab-Israeli partners is boosting “moderate rebels” and “tilting” the balance of Syria’s conflict against the Syrian government.

The Washington Post in particular, sets the tempo for this coordinated propaganda campaign, claiming in their report, “In Syria, new influx of weapons to rebels tilts the battle against Assad,” that: Continue reading “West Pours Arms into Syria as Al Qaeda Mass Slaughters Civilians”

Freedom Outpost – by Jim Stachowiak

It is time to speak plainly for the good citizens and patriots of this nation who believe unbendingly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Though foreign governments may disarm their subjects, we will not go down that road. We will not disarm and see our freedoms stripped away. The lessons of history are numerous, clear, and bloody. A disarmed population inevitably becomes an enslaved population. A disarmed population is without power, reduced to childlike obedience to-and dependence upon – the organs of a parental state. Continue reading “Warning: Politicians – We Will Not Allow You To Disarm Us”

A bipartisan group of senators is on the verge of a deal that would expand background checks to all private firearms sales with limited exemptions, but significant disagreements remain on the issue of keeping records of private gun sales, according to aides familiar with the talks.

An agreement would be a bold first step toward consideration of legislation to limit gun violence in the wake of the mass shootings at a Connecticut elementary school in December and comes as the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected this week to begin considering new proposals to limit gun violence.
