The events in Cyprus have given us an opportunity to re-learn some valuable lessons.

Lesson #1 – Do Not Trust Politicians

Nicos Anastasiades, the current president of Cyprus, had made it a campaign promise during the previous election that bank deposits would be safe. Like nearly everything a government official will tell you, the opposite is usually true; Anastasiades’ promise turned out to be worthless. To put salt in the wound, it has been alleged that Anastasiades tipped off his close friends about the impending crisis. According to Italian media, they were then able to move 4.5 billion euros out of the country in the week before the banks closed.   Continue reading “The Top 4 Lessons of the Cyprus Debacle You Shouldn’t Have to Re-learn”

The surge of bullet-buying confirmed by the federal government – purchase estimates run into the billions of bullets – even as the U.S. military scrimps to find training ammo is raising lots of questions about the government’s so-far unexplained actions.

But a video that has been around since last year is being forwarded across the Internet as an explanation.   Continue reading “Special Forces Commander: ‘Constabulary Force’ Coming”

MSG – Poison in Your Food

MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as “Natural Flavouring”.  MSG is even in your favourite coffee from Tim Horton’s and Starbucks coffee shops.

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called “The Slow Poisoning of America”.   Continue reading “The Truth about MSG Monosodium Glutamate”

Gov. Cuomo had no idea 7-round magazines weren’t available. Mayor Bloomberg has no idea how to safely handle a gun…

Via WaTi:

Mike Bloomberg is spending $12 million on attack ads designed to force U.S. senators to vote for national gun control laws that will supposedly save lives. However, the New York mayor’s commercials running in 13 states over the next two weeks could cause injury or death by showcasing irresponsible handling of a firearm.   Continue reading “Sad: Bloomberg anti-gun ad violates 3 gun safety rules…”

5 Mississippi state lawmakers have died within the past few months, including the recent death of Jessica Upshaw who recently took a great deal of blame for not allowing a vote to kill Agenda 21 in Mississippi. Upshaw represented a district that included the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and was said to have committed suicide. Could this have something to do with the BP oil spill and all of the mysterious deaths surrounding that? I find it strange that 5 politicians from the same state have died within the last few months. What else is going on down there? Is there an ‘Agenda 21’ hit list? Are the Feds mad that she brought Agenda 21 to this level of attention? From the Daily Mail.:    Continue reading “5 Mississippi Lawmakers Die In Months; Pro-Agenda 21 Legislator Jessica Upshaw Found Dead Of Gunshot Wound”

A meteor streaked across the night sky along the eastern seaboard Friday night, leaving a trail of fire as it went. More than 300 people reported seeing this flash in the sky, from Virginia to Maine, and the meteor was detected and visualized best from Northern New Jersey all the way out to the tip Long Island, NY. Scientists from NASA are reporting that it landed “safely” in the Atlantic Ocean, if a fireball from outer space can actually land “safely”.   Continue reading “Meteor Blazes Across The Night Sky Over East Coast”

A bomb blast has blown out the window of a Bank of Cyprus bank branch. The blast happened not long ago in this country embroiled in what many have called the ‘legalized plunder’ of a population. With understandable anger being vented towards these criminals masquerading as bankers, is THIS why the DHS is stocking up on bullets and gearing up for civil unrest in America soon? Lets ALL hope that the corrupt bankers and politicians aren’t crazy enough to try robbing Americans blind any more than they are doing already by pulling a ‘Cyprus event’ here.   Continue reading “Cyprus Bank Bombed – Anger Brewing”

SeafoodSet You Free News – by Dr. Mercola

Fish has always been the best source for the animal-based omega-3 fats EPA and DHA, but as levels of pollution have increased, this treasure of a food has become less and less viable as a primary source of healthful fats.

For example, the rate of mercury contamination intuna and other Pacific fish increased 30 percent between 1990 and 2009. About 40 percent of all U.S. exposure to mercury comes from eating contaminated tuna from the Pacific, and roughly 75 percent of all human exposure to mercury in general comes from eating fish.   Continue reading “Shocking Report Identifies Massive Seafood Fraud Across the US”

Indeed, Alabama now stands out as the only state where home brewing is illegal.Mississippi voted this week to legalize the hobby lager lovers and hopheads in America have enjoyed, even before George Washington and Sam Adams boiled up their first brews.   Continue reading “Alabama Home Brewing Bill In Works, But For Now State Is Only To Forbid Making Beer At Home”

Barrett BrownThe Guardian – by Glenn Greenwald

Aaron’s Swartz’s suicide in January triggered waves of indignation, and rightly so. He faced multiple felony counts and years in prison for what were, at worst, trivial transgressions of law. But his prosecution revealed the excess of both anti-hacking criminal statutes, particularly the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and the fixation of federal prosecutors on severely punishing all forms of activism that challenge the power of the government and related entities to control the flow of information on the internet. Part of what drove the intense reaction to Swartz’s death was how sympathetic of a figure he was, but as noted by Orin Kerr, a former federal prosecutor in the DOJ’s computer crimes unit and now a law professor at GWU, what was done to Swartz is anything but unusual, and the reaction to his death will be meaningful only if channeled to protest other similar cases of prosecutorial abuse:   Continue reading “The persecution of Barrett Brown – and how to fight it”
