Oregon’s GMO labeling Measure 92 has gone through multiple vote-counts before an outcome could be determined. But now after a full-vote and recount, the decision is final: Oregon’s GMO labeling effort will not go forward. This is sad news from Oregon, though the fact that the “Yes” to GMO labelling campaign came so close to winning in spite of being massively outspent by the opposition is an extraordinary achievement.   Continue reading “Oregon’s GMO Labeling Measure Defeated by Monsanto’s Millions”

In this society, psychiatrists are the primary definers of mental states. Their efforts are accepted as official science.

The Psychiatric Political State is based on myths and fairy tales about distinct and separate disorders and “good treatment.”

One of the main psychiatric mantras gaining force? “Everyone at some time in their lives will experience a mental disorder.”

But an open secret has been slowly bleeding out into public consciousness for the past ten years.   Continue reading “Psychiatry: the modern priest-class”

I’m all for siblings protecting each other, but as a child Vice President Joe Biden carried the concept to the extreme, if you believe him.

“I remember coming back from Mass on Sunday,” Biden began. “Always the big treat was, we’d stop at the donut shop…We’d get donuts, and my dad would wait in the car. As I was coming out, my sister [Valerie] tugged on me and said, ‘That’s the boy who kicked me off my bicycle.’” Continue reading “Joe Biden: Sociopath”

TARRANT, Alabama – Helen Johnson stared in amazement at the piles of food accumulating in her small Tarrant apartment on Wednesday.

“The last time I saw my house this full, I was 12-years-old and staying with my grandmother,” said the 47-year-old mother and grandmother. “I’ve been crying all day.”   Continue reading “Tarrant police officer delivers groceries to woman caught stealing eggs at Dollar General”

The whole country has heard the saga of the president’s sore throat. Many people who have a similar problem – or a true emergency – might compare his treatment with theirs.

For a complaint of an apparently mild sore throat lasting a couple weeks, the president reportedly got an ENT consult, a fiberoptic ENT examination and a CT scan of the neck because some “swelling” was noticed. The scan was done on a Saturday afternoon to suit the president’s convenience. According to an article in the Arizona Daily Star, an opening occurred in the presidential schedule when rain caused the cancellation of his golf game. Then a diagnosis of acid reflux was announced, and unspecified “appropriate” treatment was prescribed.   Continue reading “Obama’s care vs. Obamacare”

They got their wish. The Duggar family helped get an anti-LGBT bill get passed in their hometown Fayetteville, Arkansas on Tuesday, Dec. 9. The new bill helped overturn a measure that would have prevented landlords and business owners to evict or fire people based on their gender identity. During the campaign, the Duggars also donated $10,000 to three opponents of the Ordinance 119.

Back in August, Change.org created a petition to cancel 19 Kids and Counting after Michelle Duggar allegedly asked voters to repeal the law in a recorded robocall. (The matriarch also upset members of the LGBTQ community when she and husband Jim Bob deleted photos of same-sex couples from an impromptu Facebook challenge.)   Continue reading “Duggars Helped Repeal Law Banning LGBT Discrimination”

The government funding bill that narrowly passed the House of Representatives on Thursday has been widely criticized, including from within Congress, as a give-away to Wall Street. However, its 1,600 pages raise numerous other red flags for activists and analysts, including a bloated military budget and what journalist Julia Hartecalls “a long-term blank check for ‘war’ spending.”

The bill approves $554 billion overall in Pentagon spending—in keeping with the trajectory of a country that spends more on the military than the next 11 countries combined. As Dave Gilson points out in Mother Jones, this sum means that total Pentagon funding during 2015 is “close to what it got during the height of the Iraq War” and “close to its highest level since World War II.”   Continue reading “Buried Within Omnibus Bill, a ‘Long-Term Blank Check for War Spending’”

Refugee Resettlement Watch – by Ann Corcoran

Yesterday we learned that the Obama Administration committed the United States to take 9,000 Syrian (mostly Muslim) refugees  in FY 2015 which is already two months underway, and place them throughout America at some of their 180 cities where federal contractors are waiting to sign them up for social services, give them employment counseling, take care of their health needs and sign the children up for school.   Continue reading “So where might those Syrians be going?”

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) — It’s small. It’s bright yellow, and it’s capable of cracking Wi-Fi passwords, eavesdropping on your cell phone calls and reading your text messages. It’s an unmanned spy drone and it just landed in Washington, D.C.

Long-time friends and former Air Force buddies, Mike Tassey and Rich Perkins, describe their state-of-the-art cyber drone as hard to take down, hard to see and virtually hard to detect.   Continue reading “Spy Drone hacks WiFi networks, listens to calls”
