47.6 million Americans are about to have their food stamp benefits cut, and most of them have absolutely no idea that it is about to happen.  Needless to say, a lot of them are going to be very angry when they discover that they cannot buy as much food for their families anymore.  The reason that this is happening is because a temporary boost to food stamp benefits that was put in during the last recession is expiring.  But most of the people that are having their benefits cut will not understand this.  Most of them will just be very upset that the government is “taking money away” from them.  And considering the “mini-riots” that we witnessed earlier this month when the system that processes food stamp payments went down for a few hours, it is obvious that a lot of food stamp recipients can very easily be pushed over the edge.  So what would happen if we have another “debt ceiling crisis” in Washington D.C. early next year and food stamp benefits are temporarily cut off completely?   Continue reading “Uh Oh: 47 Million Food Stamp Recipients Are Having Their Benefits Cut Back On November 1st”

Sent in by a reader, an interesting video for the USMC showing various weapon penetration effects.

It’s a good video, but I noticed a couple of oddities:

When you watch it, it would appear that the AK, firing 7.62 x 39mm rounds, is very effective at all angles against the structure. When you get on to the M240, which fires the 7.62 x 51 rounds (i.e. .308) it almost appears less effective, with not all rounds passing through the cinder block at a 45 degree angle. Personally, I’m not convinced by that part i.e that the AK is shown as more effective than an M240.   Continue reading “VIDEO: Weapon Penetration Effects”

Who is benefiting from suppressing scientific research? Whose power and wealth is threatened by access to clean and free energy? Who has the desire to create a system where so few have so much, and so many have so little?

It’s become extremely obvious, especially within the past few years, that Earth’s dependence on fossil fuels is not needed at all. Yet we continue to create war, destroy the environment and harm mother Earth so we can continue using the same old techniques that generate trillions of dollars for those at the top of the energy industry.

The Keene, New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival is really awesome, but it probably doesn’t make the national news every year even though it holds the world record for the most lit jack-o-lanterns in one place.

This year, however, the deployment of 4 city police sniper teams made headlines across the country.   Continue reading “Pumpkin Festival Snipers: Part of the Police State or Protecting Citizens FROM the Police State?”

The viral photo below shows Mt. Rushmore on the first day that it reopened after the US government shutdown courtesy of Tea Party Command Center. The photograph IS NOT photoshopped according to the person who had taken it. Is this another sign of the ‘end of America’? Our founding fathers wouldn’t possibly be happy about what has happened to America.    Continue reading “Viral Photo: Mt. Rushmore Is Crying”

Internet traffic across much of the East Coast went down on Saturday after a switch supposedly failed. From Brooklyn to Philadelphia, internet users were unable to access the internet or had extremely slow internet speeds. Was this another internet kill switch test? Much of FEMA Regions 2 & 3 were affected by this outage. Only two months ago, Google, Nasdaq, Amazon & Microsoft all went down or suffered major glitches within two weeks as shared in the video below; what are TPTB preparing for?   Continue reading “FEMA Regions 2 & 3 Kill Switch Test?

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A suspect in the carjacking of a sedan who led the California Highway Patrol (CHP) on a high-speed chase from Riverside County to Otay Mesa was shot and killed by Customs officers at the border station there Saturday.

“The CHP terminated their pursuit of the vehicle which continued to the border where the vehicle stopped, then started to back up before going forward again,” San Diego Police Lt. Lee Norton said. “At that point, Customs officers felt threatened and they fired on the vehicle striking and killing the male driver.”   Continue reading “Carjacking suspect shot and killed at border”
