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.

As far as first-person tales go, Ivan Macfadyen’s story of sailing from Melbourne to San Francisco is more than a little ominous. The yachtsman’s springtime voyage was broken into two legs, with a stop in Osaka in the middle; it’s a trip he made 10 years ago, but one that seemed unrecognizable this time around.

A decade ago, seabirds and fish surrounded the boat; this time, the air was empty, and in the 28 days it took to get to Japan, he caught just two fish.   Continue reading “Sailor’s discovery: ‘The ocean is dead’”

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?”

New Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet YellenThe Bilzerian Report – by Alcibiades Bilzerian

The appointment of Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve Chairwoman highlights a pattern of anti-gentile racial discrimination in high level government appointments. Over the past two decades, more than 50% of Federal Reserve Presidents and 100% of the Chairmen have been non-gentile. Before non-gentile Chairman Benjamin Shalom Bernanke, there was non-gentile Chairman Alan Greenspan. In fact, there hasn’t been a gentile Federal Reserve Chairman/woman in over 25 years, even though gentiles comprise 98% of the population.   Continue reading “Racism At The Federal Reserve”

I have a confession to make: there is something that most people consider an American classic that, every time I see it, sets my teeth on edge. Where others find heartwarming inspiration, a mere glimpse of it provokes an intense dislike on my part that I freely admit probably borders on the irrational. So here is my confession: I truly loath the classic holiday movie It’s A Wonderful Life.   Continue reading “A Run on the Bank”

How would you feel if you received a letter from the U.S. Government informing you that because of a physical or mental condition that the government says you have it is proposing to rule that you are incompetent to handle your own financial affairs? Suppose that letter also stated that the government is going to appoint a stranger to handle your affairs for you at your expense? That would certainly be scary enough but it gets worse.   Continue reading “Veterans Receiving Letters Prohibiting The Purchase, Possession, Receipt, Or Transport Of A Firearm/Ammunition”

It hasn’t been a good week for Monsanto and the rest of the biotech industry.

Just three days ago, Mexico banned genetically engineered corn. Citing the risk of imminent harm to the environment, a Mexican judge ruled that, effective immediately, no genetically engineered corn can be planted in the country. This means that companies like Monsanto will no longer be allowed to plant or sell their corn within the country’s borders.   Continue reading “Huge GMO News”
