Yesterday was not simply a day like any other, and yet an entire system is grinding into motion to ensure that the peculiarities of the day be promptly forgotten: another crazy person lost it and committed unthinkable acts. The act of killing stands in and speaks for the person: look what he has done, of course he must be crazy. Case closed. Continue reading “Cop-on-Cop Crime in LA – American Blowback”

The fight to label genetically modified (gmo) foods is now on in Hawaii and Connecticut signaling that, despite big agriculture’s defeat of California’s Proposition 37 in November, proponents of seed and food sovereignty refuse to back down.
On Thursday, the group GMO Free CT held a press conference at the state’s legislative office to launch a new anti-GMO initiative calling on the Connecticut Legislature to support and pass a bill to label genetically engineered food in the state, the New Haven Register reports.

CINCINNATI – A portrait of Jesus that hangs prominently in an entranceway at a rural Ohio public school is in violation of the U.S. Constitution and should be removed, a federal lawsuit filed Thursday says.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and the Madison, Wis.-based Freedom From Religion Foundation say the large portrait at Jackson Middle School unconstitutionally promotes religion. The two groups seek a court order requiring the school to remove the portrait and prohibiting its re-hanging or any substantially similar display in the future.

BOSTON (AP) – A storm that forecasters warned could be a blizzard for the history books, with a potential for up to 3 feet of snow, clobbered the New York-to-Boston corridor on Friday, grounding flights and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of customers across the Northeast.
By Friday evening, more than 14 inches of snow had fallen in Belmont, Mass., just northwest of Boston, and more than 13 inches covered parts of northeastern Connecticut. Throughout the Northeast, about 350,000 homes and businesses lost electricity as wet, heavy snow, freezing rain and howling winds caused havoc. Continue reading “Massive Blizzard Clobbers Northeast”

Dear JWR:
I currently live in the People’s Republic of Illinois and have seen the mad dash for ammo and firearms make it very difficult to acquire even the standard .22 Long Rifle rimfire ammo that until a few months ago could be purchased by the case at nearly any Wal-Mart, gun shop, or sporting goods store.
Recently when browsing the aisles of both Bass Pro Shop and Wal-Mart I noticed something rather peculiar: that.22 Magnum ammunition was aplenty. This struck me as really odd that .22 Magnum was even being sold in bulk packs (CCI brand) at Bass Pro with no purchase limits.

Matthew Aaron Llaneza, 28, of San Jose, was detained after he tried using a cellphone to detonate an explosives-packed SUV at a BofA branch near the Oakland Airport, the FBI said. Agents had created a dummy bomb, however. Continue reading “FBI: Calif. ex-con tried to bomb bank to start civil war”

“We have a little problem here. Out in LA there’s this ex-cop. He was allegedly fired for blowing the whistle on another cop who used excessive force. And now, he’s decided to take action himself, and has declared war (literally) on the LAPD. “I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty,” Dorner allegedly wrote in a lengthy letter promising retribution against the department, where he worked from 2005 until 2008. An LAPD source provided the document to CNN. Continue reading “Pay Attention America: Police Shooting People”
Front and center in the present propaganda is one Chris Dorner, an ex-LAPD officer who is accused of going on a murderous rampage and is said to still be at large. After much evaluation and thought, a consensus is building to support the assertion of yet another false flag.
Chris Dorner is portrayed as a very capable aggressor who just retired as a captain from the Naval Reserve with credentials in both land and underwater warfare. However there are many discrepancies surfacing as the situation remains fluid. Continue reading “LAPD Manhunt – Another False Flag?”
SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) – The massive manhunt for former LAPD officer, Christopher Dorner, has entered its second day. The search for the triple murder suspect is centered in Big Bear, but also extends throughout Southern California and has touched parts of Southern Nevada.
The latest Dorner sighting has come out of Los Angeles, where the LAPD has reinstated a city wide tactical alert, after Dorner may have been spotted in the LA area. The tactical alert was canceled Friday morning around 7:30 a.m., but was issued again after 11:00 a.m. Continue reading “Search for Dorner continues in Big Bear”

China and Japan, along with North and South Korean troops at the DMZ, appear one step away from armed combat and tensions don’t look likely to ease any time soon.
New developments within both regions illustrate how close to open combat the four countries are, and how quickly one incident could expand to war among very powerful nations. Continue reading “Two Chilling Developments Suggest Asia May Be One Step Away From War”

Just over 3 months ago, the Northeast was paralyzed after Superstorm Sandy pummelled the East Coast. Within a matter of days, despite a week of warnings about the impending storm, people in New York City were dumpster diving and begging FEMA to help them. They were pleading with the cameras for food and water because they were starving. Some people still have not recovered – there are still nearly 2000 homes in which people are crouching in the dark, without heat, electricity or running water. Continue reading “What Did the Northeast Learn From Sandy? Apparently, Not Much”

The is the actual manifesto. This one has no crazed ravings, just a lot of angry determination and ‘enough is enough’. Much more believable.
This is going to be like the Unabomber’s manifesto – a very useful way to sort the lying web sources from the truthful, by observing who messes with it, and in what ways. Continue reading “Christopher Dorner’s Original Manifesto”
A political analyst says the United States government’s call for talks with Tehran is completely unhelpful because Washington has adopted a dual policy towards Iran,Press TV reports.
“Americans have this very odd concept of, as they call it, carrot and stick approach, meaning they offer you something at the same time they hit you over the head with the stick and that is exactly what they are offering, I guess, right now,” Denis Halliday said in an interview with Press TV on Thursday.
