At a joint news conference with his Brazilian counterpart on Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry praised Brazil for its commitment to climate change initiatives, and he promised that the Obama administration also is determined to do something about it.

“So the challenge is ahead of us, for all of us, and I know that the United States has a great commitment under President Obama to take our own initiatives, not even to wait for congressional action, but to move administratively in order to do our part. I know we can continue to work with Brazil on this issue of climate, and we look forward to doing so.”   Continue reading “Kerry: Obama Will Act on Climate Change Without Congressional Approval”

BEIRUT (AP) — A powerful car bomb tore through a bustling south Beirut neighborhood that is a stronghold of Hezbollah on Thursday, killing at least 18 and trapping dozens of others in an inferno of burning cars and buildings in the bloodiest attack yet on Lebanese civilians linked to Syria’s civil war.

The blast is the second in just over a month to hit one of the Shiite militant group’s bastions of support, and the deadliest in decades. It raises the specter of a sharply divided Lebanon being pulled further into the conflict next door, which is being fought on increasingly sectarian lines pitting Sunnis against Shiites.   Continue reading “Powerful car bomb kills 18 in south Beirut suburb”

President Barack Obama makes a statement to the media regarding events in Egypt, from his rental vacation home in Chilmark Mass., on the island of Martha's Vineyard, on Aug. 15, 2013. ABC News – by Mary Bruce

In a widely expected move, President Obama today canceled next month’s joint U.S.-Egyptian military exercises, saying “our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back.”

More significant, however, is what the president is not doing, despite the interim government’s crackdown on Egyptian protesters that has left hundreds dead and thousands injured.   Continue reading “Obama Cancels US-Egypt Military Exercises but Not Foreign Aid”

In March of this year, the lower Chamber of the Romanian Parliament hosted a crucial vote that would impact the future of local biotech agriculture in the Eastern European country. A draft law calling for a ban on growing, importing and marketing of products containing genetically modified organisms was soundly rejected – 218 opposed, 72 in favor.

Most of the politicians who proposed the law in 2010 were now against it. Four days before the vote, the Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Embassy in Bucharest expressed its concern about the pending decision in a report to the US Department of Agriculture: “If approved, the new draft law would clearly place at risk biotech seeds producers (…).”   Continue reading “U.S. Government Agencies and Politicians Lobby for the Use of Genetically-Modified Seeds in Romania”

One in 7 Americans receives food stamps and the government wants the number to be even higher.

Yes, I said higher.

The USDA is soliciting people to receive food stamps in the manner of a drug dealer on a grade school playground.  ”Psst – hey you!  I’ve got something for you…it’s free…come on, try it.  You’ll like it!”   Continue reading “The USDA Is Pushing Food Stamps Like a Drug Dealer at a Grade School”

The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) based in Sarasota, FL, headed by Chairman Frances Rice, filed Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Obama with the following language:

We, black American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from governmental tyranny, do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to Congress for the removal of President Barack H.

9/11: The pyrotechnic and explosive link. 50781.jpegPravda.Ru – by Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

An article published in a Journal of Chemical Physics, signed by no less than nine experts, analyzing the results of studies on particles taken from the 9/11 event at the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001 makes the most shocking conclusion: “highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material” was discovered.

Remember when the World Trade Center collapsed? Quite apart from the shock and awe experienced by most civilized people around the world at the sheer scale of the act of mass murder, quite apart from the indignation at seeing passenger aircraft flying into the buildings, were there not little subconscious question marks chalked up at the way the buildings fell, almost as if in an implosion?   Continue reading “9/11: The pyrotechnic and explosive link”

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Native Americans on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation — home to some of the highest rates of unemployment, domestic abuse and suicide in Indian Country — have voted to end prohibition and legalize alcohol so the tribe can use the profits for education and treatment.

A majority of voters on Tuesday approved the measure, but the outcome was left hanging because of 438 challenged ballots that were more than the difference between the yes and no votes. Francis Pumpkin Seed, Oglala Sioux Tribe Election Commission chairman, said workers on Wednesday checked each of those ballots to confirm they were cast by enrolled members. After that process was complete, the result was 1,871 for legalization and 1,679 against it, he said.   Continue reading “Vote to legalize alcohol on SD’s Pine Ridge passes”

1984-book-cover-picCrisis Magazine – by Sean Fitzpatrick

The second most terrifying thing about George Orwell’s 1984 is the supposition that it is possible to destroy humanity without destroying humankind. The first is how many aspects of our democratic nation resemble his dystopian nightmare.

George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948 as a political satire of a totalitarian state and a denunciation of Stalinism. Orwell himself was a socialist, who fought for the republicans in the Spanish Civil War and was wounded by a sniper bullet to the throat. As the West became aware of the horrors of Stalin, Orwell became disillusioned.   Continue reading “Orwell’s 1984: Are We There Yet?”

Too bad her conscience didn’t kick in until AFTER there were deaths. However, at least she is now. Not surprising, we knew these vaccines were apart of population control and destroying the family. The question is now, how do we convince the masses to stop giving them to their children? Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines.   Continue reading “Vaccine Maker Tells The Truth To Clear Conscience, 44 Girls Have Died Since Having Gardasil And Cervarix”
