Israeli helicopters firing illegal white phosphorus weapons at civilians, burning them alive.The Bilzerian Report

Between 2001 and 2006, the United Nations Human Rights Council sanctioned Israel more than any other nation on the planet. According to the Israeli Newspaper Hareetz, Israel has broken more UN resolutions than any other country in history. A shocking statistic considering that the US vetoes most resolutions unfavorable to Israel. In 1975, the UN passed resolution 3379 (by a vote of 72-35 with 32 abstentions) which declared that the entire premise behind the foundation of Israel: Zionism, is actually racism and racial discrimination. Although this resolution was later repealed due to international pressure from the US, it has proven to be factually accurate as Israel has turned into what Nobel Peace Prize winners Jimmy Carter and Bishop Desmond Tutu deem an apartheid state.   Continue reading “The Worst Nation On The Planet”

When you think of that little dream homestead in the woods, what does it include?  Probably a well and septic system, a little stream bubbling nearby, a chicken coop, a sunroom for winter growing, and a cozy fire to curl up next to.

When my daughter and I spent a year living in a cabin in the Northwoods of Canada, our woodstove was our lifeline. It was the only source of heat in a place that reached -42 degrees.  It was the only way we could cook when our power went out during snow and ice storms (as it did frequently).  It was the cozy center of our home, and we survived for an entire frigid winter for less than$800. After that experience I vowed never to live in a home without a woodstove.   Continue reading “The EPA Takes an Ax to Self-Sufficiency: Most Woodburning Stoves Will Soon Be Illegal”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The No. 2 officer at the military command in charge of all U.S. nuclear war-fighting forces has been suspended and is under investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigation Command for issues related to gambling, officials said Saturday.

The highly unusual action against a high-ranking officer at U.S. Strategic Command was made more than three weeks ago but not publicly announced.   Continue reading “No. 2 US nuke commander suspended amid probe”

Mom plunged into depression when Dad died.  I had tested my wings and left the nest years earlier, and now, for the first time in her life, Mom was alone.  I lived nearby andchecked on her often, but it didn’t take a trained eye to see she wasn’t faring well.  She shunned friends and neighbors, lost weight because she wasn’t eating properly, and the “toddy” she once enjoyed before bedtime was now poured in mid afternoon.  One day I caught her drinking at noon.  I couldn’t allow this to continue.

“I can’t eat all that!”We spent the next day together.  I woke her at dawn; fixed my breakfast specialty of steak, eggs, and hash browns; and then set the platter before her with a fresh cup of coffee and a small glass of orange juice.   Continue reading “Cowgirls Need Love Too”

“We had a problem in this nation because so many people couldn’t afford health insurance. So what’s Obama’s plan? Simply charge those folks money for not having enough money! Brilliant! Oh, but his master strategy doesn’t stop there. It used to be expensive to buy insurance on the individual-market — now it will be TWICE as expensive for men, and only almost twice as expensive for women!

“Do you see how this works? Problem: Insurance is expensive. Solution: Make it more expensive, and then tax people for not buying it.” —Matt Walsh   Continue reading “Cruz missiles, train wrecks, and broken promises”

James Clapper NSAThe Guardian – by Glenn Greenwald

The Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday held a hearing, ostensibly to investigate various issues raised about the NSA‘s activities. What the hearing primarily achieved instead was to underscore what a farce the notion of Congressional oversight over the NSA is.

In particular, the current chair of the Senate Committee created in the mid-1970s to oversee the intelligence community just so happens to be one of the nation’s most steadfast and blind loyalists of and apologists for the National Security State: Dianne Feinstein. For years she has abused her position to shield and defend the NSA and related agencies rather than provide any meaningful oversight over it, which is a primary reason why it has grown into such an out-of-control and totally unaccountable behemoth.   Continue reading “Sen.

“Most armed; most free.”  So the renowned Italian thinker and strategist Niccolo Machiavelli described the Swiss five centuries ago.

That was a time when the 30 ft pikes and deadly halbards (pole axes) of Switzerland’s fierce mercenary armies were the terror of Europe.   The “furia Helvetica” ruled the battlefields until 1515 at Marignano when French guns, firing at point-blank range, tore apart the massed Swiss pike phalanxes.   Continue reading “Most Armed; Most Free”

Seymour Hersh by Marjorie Lipan via FlickrRaw Story – by Lisa O’Carroll, The Guardian

Seymour Hersh has got some extreme ideas on how to fix journalism – close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider.

It doesn’t take much to fire up Hersh, the investigative journalist who has been the nemesis of US presidents since the 1960s and who was once described by the Republican party as “the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist”.   Continue reading “Seymour Hersh on Death of Osama bin Laden: ‘It’s One Big Lie, Not One Word Of It Is True’”

WEB Notes: Are you paying attention to the peace talks taking place globally? What did Christ say, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet,”Matthew 24:6. We are looking for peace and we are getting it at the moment… “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape,”1 Thessalonians 5:3. This is when Syria (Isaiah 17:1) and Iran (Daniel 8) will be destroyed and then the false messiah, Satan will appear claiming to be Christ.   Continue reading “They Cry Peace: UN Security Council Unanimously Adopts Syria Resolution”
