CLEVELAND, Ohio — Burt Saltzman, chairman of Dave’s Markets, knows as much as anyone about the way this town really eats.
The dean of Cleveland’s grocery business is 76 but can still be caught bagging groceries at the chain’s flagship store on Payne Avenue. He’s a throwback to a time when people knew their butchers and didn’t buy their groceries and electronics at the same store.

Staff Sgt. Joseph Biggs told KTLA that he received an email from Hastings on Monday. Biggs had known Hastings since 2008, when the journalist was embedded in his unit in Afghanistan. “On Monday morning, I woke up and I got an email, and it’s very panicked,” Biggs said. “It alarmed me very much,” Biggs said. “I just said it doesn’t seem like him. I don’t know, I just had this gut feeling and it just really bothered me,” he said.

The phone numbers and email addresses of nearly six million Facebook users were accidentally exposed as the result of a year-long data leak, officials from the social network confirmed on Friday.

Did you ever wonder how people who exist on a diet of mainly processed foods can be both overweight and malnourished at the same time? Despite overly abundant calories, people who live off of boxed macaroni and cheese, frozen dinners, Ramen noodles, and other packaged foods aren’t getting the nutrients that people who eat a whole foods diet are getting. Deadly GMO ingredients aside, the sheer amount of chemicals in processed foods can lead to disease, obesity, and malnutrition.

Just as public anxiety about the weak border security provisions in the Senate immigration bill was building, GOP Sen. Bob Corker stepped forward with an amendment to “fix” the problem. The result of his efforts, however, has been a “Christmas tree” measure, covering items far beyond border security. Breitbart News has learned exclusively that one provision of Corker’s amendment will allow workers who stay in the country past their visa will remain on the “path to citizenship.” Continue reading “Corker Amendment Permanently Offers Citizenship to those Overstaying Their Visas”

Recent leaks reveal a frightening reality: In fighting terrorism, we have resorted to engaging in terrorism
This is a tale of two presidents – the one we hope we have and the one we actually have. It is also a tale of two kinds of violence – the surgical and the indiscriminate – and how the latter blurs the distinction between self-defense and something far more sinister. Continue reading “A Tale of Two Presidents: The One We Voted For – and Obama:”
White House officials refused to comment Friday on a Los Angeles Times report that CIA operatives and U.S. special operations troops have been secretly training Syrian rebels with anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons since late last year, saying only that the U.S. had increased its assistance to the rebellion.
The covert U.S. training at bases in Jordan and Turkey began months before PresidentObama approved plans to begin directly arming the opposition to Syrian President Bashar Assad, according to U.S. officials and rebel commanders.

I wonder if any of those “high quality” components from China had anything to do with it? Or did someone hack the system?

For the next two weeks Bitcoin users in the US will be unable to withdraw the virtual currency in dollars. Major exchange Mt. Gox cited an unusually high demand as the reason for the suspension, while customers worried the company has run out of cash.
Mt. Gox, based in Tokyo, Japan, handles approximately 80 per cent of Bitcoin transactions in the US and 70 per cent internationally. The popularity of the service, which allows customers to buy and sell items with relative anonymity, has led, indirectly, to the current transaction freeze. Continue reading “World’s largest Bitcoin exchange suspends US withdrawals”

BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff ended her near-silence about days of massive, violent protests, saying in a prime-time TV broadcast Friday that peaceful demonstrations were part of a strong democracy but that violence could not be tolerated. She promised to improve public services and hold a dialogue with protest leaders. Continue reading “Brazil Protests 2013 Grow: One Million Brazilians Hit The Streets”
Obama was secretly recorded during the 2012 election, saying that “the powers that be want it to be Romney…and it looks like that’s what it’s going to be.”
Referring to how Ron Paul was obviously robbed in Maine, Obama says “Look what they did up in Maine…They wanted Paul out of the picture quickly, and we all know what happened there.” Continue reading “Obama Confirms Conspiracy to Oust Ron Paul from Primary in 2012”

ATCHISON, Kan. — After most of the world’s population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine.
That’s the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world’s largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River.

Maybe not. The next step for the U.S. in charging the former intelligence contractor employee is for the Hong Kong police to arrest him and begin the extradition process, but it was Ron Paul who started the ball rolling IN NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR, ‘leaking’ the information in the House. Like now, no one is listening and 56% of Americans (have been conditioned?) to think all this is all good for them!!
