The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

If the U.S. economy is getting better, then why are major retail chains closing thousands of stores?  If we truly are in an “economic recovery”, then why do sales figures continue to go down for large retailers all over the country?  Without a doubt, the rise of Internet retailing giants such as Amazon.com have had a huge impact.  Today, there are millions of Americans that actually prefer to shop online.  Personally, when I published my novel I made it solely available on Amazon.  But Internet shopping alone does not account for the great retail apocalypse that we are witnessing.  In fact, some retail experts estimate that the Internet has accounted for only about 20 percent of the decline that we are seeing.  Most of the rest of it can be accounted for by the slow, steady death of the middle class U.S. consumer.  Median household income has declined for five years in a row, but all of our bills just keep going up.  That means that the amount of disposable income that average Americans have continues to shrink, and that is really bad news for retailers.   Continue reading “20 Facts About The Great U.S. Retail Apocalypse That Will Blow Your Mind”

A study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) associates a 5.7-magnitude earthquake in Oklahoma—the most powerful in the state’s history—with the practice of injecting wastewater from fracking into the earth’s crust.

The quake occurred on November 6, 2011, near Prague, Oklahoma. USGS scientists say it may have happened as a result of a 5.0-magnitude foreshock that happened on November 5 near some wastewater injection wells. The 5.0 quake increased stress at the site of the next day’s 5.7 quake.   Continue reading “U.S. Geological Survey Calls Oklahoma Quake the Largest “Human-Induced” Earthquake on Record”

Rialto, CA- The Rialto Police Department, over the past year, has been experimenting with equipping body cameras to the 70 officers on its force. The initial results show a promising solution to the excessive use of force by officers.

The police chief in Rialto, Tony Farrar, is on record as stating, “ I think we’ve opened some eyes in the law enforcement world. We’ve shown the potential.”

This potential he speaks of is due to the scientific data that this experiment has yielded over the course of the last year. The body cameras were introduced on officers in February 2012, over the next twelve months total complaints filed against them dropped by a staggering 88%, with use of force by officers dropping by 60%.   Continue reading “Police Use Of Force Drops 60% When Officers Required To Wear Video Cameras”

“Evidence linking Queen Elizabeth to the deaths of ten children appears to have been destroyed on orders of the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby” Kevin Annett said today while discussing his interview with a source at Canadian Primate Fred Hiltz’s office. “My source said Hiltz did as ordered and destroyed the evidence. They said Welby made the call to Hiltz in early 2012 right after he was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury.”

Annett was being drilled by this reporter on why Archbishop Welby, along with Pope Francis, Queen Elizabeth and Jesuit Superior Aldolfo Pachon, have been summoned before a Brussels international court 31 March 2014. They were charged with aiding, abetting and conspiring to conceal evidence of child rape, torture and genocide in international trafficking rings.   Continue reading “Did Queen Elizabeth order evidence of her crimes destroyed?”

Tech Dirt – by Karl Bode

Peter Maass, who I’ve been fortunate to meet and has had a pretty amazing career as an embedded war journalist, has penned a pretty fantastic read over at Glenn Greenwald’s new The Intercept venture. In it, Maass points out that among the ocean of compelling bits buried in the Snowden documents is this strange little fact: the NSA has an advice columnist who routinely provides NSA employees with office politics and interpersonal advice under the pen name “Zelda.” Her column, titled “Ask Zelda!,” routinely appears for employees with adequate security clearance via the agency’s intranet.      Continue reading “The NSA Has An Internal Office Advice Columnist And Yes, She’s An Inconsistent Hypocrite Too”

Are drones not scary enough for you yet? How about this? A drone helicopter that spots you and identifies you as an intruder. It tells you to stop and put your hands behind your head. Instead, you keep coming. The drone then shoots you with barbed Taser darts that pump 80,000 volts into you. If you try to get up, it will continue pumping voltage into you until you submit and the authorities arrive.   Continue reading “Meet CUPID: The Drone That Will Shoot You With an 80,000 Volt Taser”

How to Vanish – by Bill Rounds

The NSA can read your emails, listen to your phone calls, see all of your purchases, and look at your library records without a warrant.  They so extensively monitor so much electronic activity that there is hardly any aspect of your life that is not databased, archived, and searchable.  The continuing release of information about what the NSA is doing and how they do it is making everyday people aware of how their peaceful and lawful activity is being monitored by default.   Continue reading “Keep The NSA Out Of Your Internet – Avoid Unwarranted NSA Surveillance”

Back in the day, leaders of the Mafia were known for invoking their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination before congressional hearings.

But now it’s gangsters of a different kind who are doing it – top officials of the Internal Revenue Service.
