A scandal is brewing in Chicago which threatens to make Operation Greylord look like a dress rehearsal for a cotillion. Starting with a seemingly innocuous question, tendered to press liaison Jim Grogan at the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) in Illinois, a boil of corruption got inadvertently pricked, which threatens now to reveal a subterranean cancer in the legal system in Illinois.   Continue reading “Government Attorneys Implicated in Ethics Scandal”

The biggest US banks would be required to hold enough easily sold assets to survive a 30-day credit drought under proposed new Federal Reserve liquidity rules.

The Federal Reserve liquidity coverage ratio proposal, approved unanimously at a meeting in Washington, goes further than the Basel III measure adopted in January and calls for earlier implementation than the EU.   Continue reading “US banks are told to be prepared for 30-day crisis”

Vaccinations are becoming more problematic than anyone probably ever would have thought, especially since they are touted as ‘preventive healthcare measures’ and studies indicate that flu vaccines are not effective, including the U.S. CDC admitting, “During years when the flu vaccine is not well matched to circulating viruses, it’s possible that no benefit from flu vaccination may be observed.” (Source)   Continue reading “Vaccine Injuries: What Everyone Needs to Know Before and After Vaccinations”

When Americans think of Australia they generally imagine a vast and arid desert, inhabited by killer wildlife and famous for Crocodile Hunter, Sydney Opera House and glorious beaches. However, the land Down Under is far more progressive than many countries care to understand and in fact could actually teach the United States a thing or two about how to look after its own population. Here are some interesting facts and policies found in Australia that you probably haven’t head about.  Continue reading “Eat Your Heart Out Americans: 10 Remarkable Facts You Didn’t Know About Australia”

The release of further allegations of National Security Agency surveillance efforts caused the Spanish government to summon the U.S. ambassador Monday, and The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House ordered a halt to some eavesdropping on foreign leaders after learning of it this summer.

Quoting unidentified U.S. officials, the newspaper’s website said the wiretapping of about 35 foreign leaders was disclosed to the White House as part of a review of surveillance programs ordered by President Barack Obama after NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked classified information on the NSA’s phone monitoring systems.   Continue reading “Report: White House stopped phone tapping of foreign leaders this summer – Yeah Right”

The 2016 presidential election is more than three years away, but potential candidates and their supporters are already contemplating the next campaign. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas—now well-known for his role in the recent federal shutdown—and California’s celebrity former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger are among those whose names are circulating. But neither Cruz nor Schwarzenegger was born in the United States, and the Constitution provides that “[n]o person except a natural born citizen, or a Citizen at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”   Continue reading “Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president?”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

Did you know that the number of Americans on welfare is higher than the number of Americans that have full-time jobs?  Did you know that 1.2 million public school students in the U.S. are currently homeless?  Anyone that uses the term “economic recovery” to describe what is happening in the United States today is being deeply insulting to the nearly 150 million Americans that are considered to be either “poor” or “low income” at this point.  Yes, things are great in New York City, Washington D.C. and San Francisco, but almost everywhere else economic conditions continue to steadily get worse.    Continue reading “29 Incredible Facts Which Prove That Poverty In America Is Absolutely Exploding”

How addled is the electorate?

I think a good measure is the extent to which office-seekers bray about “creating jobs.” In the first place, a politician no more creates jobs than a mule creates new mules. Politicians redistribute other people’s property. Qua Dr. Evil, it’s what they do.

It’s all they do.   Continue reading ““Creating Jobs””

(Asia Morning Post) – The operator of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant is making final preparations before starting the most delicate and dangerous procedure attempted at the plant since three reactors were wrecked in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Engineers from Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) need to remove 1,533 rods of highly irradiated spent fuel from the damaged storage pool alongside the Number 4 reactor without exposing them to the air. The rods must then be carefully transported to a safer location for longer-term storage.   Continue reading “Fukushima nuclear plant operators prepare for dangerous procedure”

WEB Notes: There have been no outbreaks of viruses in Syria until foreign powers created the resistance and ensuing war. Now we suddenly have an outbreak of a virus? Of course the answer is to bring in the WHO and start inserting foreign DNA and material into these children.

(Independent) – Health experts are urgently trying to vaccinate 2.4m children in Syria against polio after the war-ravaged country reported its first suspected cases of the debilitating disease for 14 years.   Continue reading “World Health Organisation launches a massive immunisation programme as 22 children succumb to crippling virus”

Neighbors say Michael Guzzo never showed any signs of being a violent man.

But that changed quickly when he took a pump shotgun and murdered four of his neighbors and two of their dogs before killing himself.

Police think the entire incident happened because Guzzo was mad about the dogs barking.   Continue reading “Man kills four neighbors, two dogs, and himself over loud barking”
