The United States is spending an “endless” amount of wealth and sacrificing human lives to fight wars on behalf of Israel, a “disaster” for the American people and US foreign policy, the co-founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth says.

“America is now investing endless troops, endless time, endless treasury, exceeding trillions of dollars now, in fighting wars for Israel,” said James Henry Fetzer, who’s also an editor at Veterans Today and a retired professor in Madison, Wisconsin.   Continue reading “US investing ‘trillions’ to fight wars for Israel: Scholar”

Scientists have found traces of leaked radiation from Japan’s 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident off the coast of California. Radiation experts, though, say the levels are harmless.

Trace amounts of isotopes linked to Fukushima radiation were detected about 100 miles (160km) west of Eureka, a city in northern California, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a Massachusetts-based research organization, announced Monday in a press release.   Continue reading “Fukushima radiation detected 100 miles off California coast”

At least 215 people were arrested after clashes broke out in Warsaw. Some Polish nationalists, who took to the streets to mark the country’s National Independence Day, threw flares and stones at police. Law enforcers responded with water cannon.

Tens of thousands marched through the Polish capital Tuesday with many carrying the national flag, while flares and firecrackers were also let off. The march was attended by extremist nationalist groups, such as the Radical Camp and the All-Polish Youth.   Continue reading “Flares vs water cannon in Warsaw as nationalists march on Idependence Day”

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — After being buried under more than a foot of snow, parts of the Rockies and Upper Midwest were getting their first icy touch of arctic air on Tuesday. And the rest of the Midwest and the East are expecting a dose later in the week, with temperatures forecast as much as 40 degrees below average.

The frigid air was pushed in by a powerful storm that hit Alaska with hurricane-force winds over the weekend. A look at the storm and its effects:   Continue reading “Arctic blast descends on Rockies, Upper Midwest”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Enraged parents wept and screamed as a judge sentenced a South Korean ferry captain to 36 years in prison Tuesday for negligence and abandoning passengers when his ship sank earlier this year, killing more than 300 people, mostly high school students.

The highly anticipated verdict came on the same day officials called off searches for the final nine victims and reflects the continuing grief and finger-pointing over one of the worst disasters in South Korean history. Victims’ relatives immediately criticized the sentences for Capt. Lee Joon-seok and 14 other crew members as too lenient. Lee was acquitted of a homicide charge, which could have carried a death sentence, because the court said there wasn’t proof that he knew his actions would cause such a massive loss of life.   Continue reading “Grief, rage at 36-year sentence for ferry captain”

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Army statistician whose research informed battlefield treatment decisions was quietly forced to resign in January after admitting she did not earn the doctoral degree she had been claiming.

Inquiries by The Associated Press revealed that not only did she deceive the Army about her Ph.D., but she didn’t earn the master’s degree on her resume either, something Army officials said they had not realized.   Continue reading “Army trauma expert quit after admitting PhD fraud”

The media have identified the problem with the Obama presidency and want her tarred and feathered.

In a shocking report released, the FBI is admitting that the 2012 Sandy Hook School shooting was not a shooting at all. It was an exercise that local media misreported on, and then government officials perpetuated the hoax in hopes of bringing about gun control legislation.

Many questions regarding why “parents” were laughing, first responders were not going in and out of the school and later no medical personnel were permitted are now answered.   Continue reading “FBI Report: No Deaths At Sandy Hook: Was Exercise, Misreported, Created Crisis”

IMG_7546 copyHey all,

I was traveling with my family on November 10, 2014 to Hot Springs, Arkansas for a vacation and this is what I noticed traveling on Hwy 30. The first two pics were of an armored vehicle being transported through Texarkana and into Arkansas.

The second one (the blurry one) was another armored vehicle taken on Hwy 30 as well, somewhere between Hope and Prescott, heading North in the same direction as the first one. Not sure where they could be headed. Maybe Little Rock.   Continue reading “Report: Armored Vehicles Spotted Highway 30, Arkansas”
