NOAA’s Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) issued a Tropical Storm Watch for Hawaii and Maui Counties in Hawaii on August 6 at 12:00 UTC as hurricanes “Iselle” and “Julio” continued on their path toward the islands. Weather officials said Iselle isn’t weakening as previously predicted.

Hurricane “Iselle” reached Category 4 status on Monday before it weakened to a Category 1, but then gained some strength again on Wednesday.   Continue reading “Double trouble – Hawaii braces for hurricanes “Iselle” and “Julio””

Millions of cubic meters of water, sand and chemicals, which were released into the waterways of British Columbia, Canada, from a breached mine tailings pond have led to a total water ban for residents in the area of the incident.

Some 10 million cubic meters of water and 4.5 million cubic meters of fine sand from the tailings pond of the Mount Polley copper and gold mine spilled over into lakes and creeks in the area on Monday, according to a statement by the British Columbia’s Environment Minister Bill Bennett, released the following day.    Continue reading “‘Unbelievable devastation’: Massive mining waste spill causes water ban in Canada”

Stop Nestle Water

Fryeburg is a small town in Maine – that has quickly become ground zero in Maine’s looming water wars.

After Nestle built a nearby bottling plant, Nestle (in this cause in the guise of Poland Springs water) wanted to drill a new well in nearby Denmark, ME, and pipe water to a water-loading station in a Fryeburg residential area.

At first the town planning commission said yes, then reversed themselves due to impacts on the town (noise, traffic, pollution, etc).   Continue reading “Fryeburg Maine Water Wars”

Concealed Nation – by Brandon

I’m not quite sure how it happened, but someone was able to get a gun in Brooklyn and use it to commit a crime. This is in direct contradiction to the current laws that are on the books that make it next to impossible for anyone to carry a pistol.

Sarcasm aside, this shooting happened this past Friday in Brooklyn and police are still searching for the suspect. The person who was shot wound up in the hospital, but is expected to make a full recovery.   Continue reading “Shooting In Broad Daylight In The Gun Free Zone Of Brooklyn”

Here is why we will not be getting the Ebola vaccineThe Organic Prepper

Yesterday, I wrote about my plans to safely isolate my family should the Ebola virus become pandemic in the United States.  What I didn’t touch on very much was the Ebola vaccine that is in the works.

The Ebola Vaccine could become mandatory.

Some people suspect that if a national health crisis were to occur, that a vaccine could be made mandatory. (I hope that President Obama doesn’t read my website, because I’d hate to give him any ideas – he gets so excited about circumventing Congress and making his own laws.)  He’s already signed an executive order that says people suspected of being ill can be detained and isolated. Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse Blog wrote:   Continue reading “Here’s Why I Won’t Be Lining Up for the Ebola Vaccine”

"Sam" watches as his home is demolished in Tent City of Lakewood, NJ.  (Source: YouTube)Police State USA

LAKEWOOD, NJ — An impoverished man learned the true nature of government as he watched tearfully as bureaucrats demolished his ramshackle home in the woods.  He was bothering no one except the government.

After years of threats, the local authorities of Lakewood Township finally had Tent City closed down, and all residents evicted from the forest.  The homes that existed there — some for years — were ripped to the ground using heavy machinery.This was the reality that was presented to “Sam,” a 70-year-old homeless man living in the forest in Lakewood Township, New Jersey.   Continue reading “Government tears down man’s makeshift tent in the woods, leaves him homeless”
