Natural News – by Jonathan Benson

With Ebola on everybody’s minds these days, the topic of disease prevention, and particularly how to avoid viral infections — incidentally, the annual rite of “flu season” is also upon us — is surely on every survivalist’s radar. But learning how best to prepare for, well, the worst poses its own set of unique challenges because, quite frankly, real solutions for disease eradication aren’t exactly popular media’s thing.    Continue reading “How to prevent flu season viruses from infecting you”

While a Staten Island grand jury decided on Wednesday not to indict the New York City police officer involved in the death of Eric Garner, prosecutors were able to secure an indictment against the man who filmed the fatal encounter.

As the Staten Island Advance reported, 22-year-old Ramsey Orta was indicted this past August, 13 days after being arrested and charged with charged with felony counts of third-degree criminal weapon possession and criminal firearm possession.   Continue reading “NYPD cop who choked Eric Garner wasn’t indicted — but man who recorded the incident was”

Beijing) – China’s rise has been epitomized recently by its push for two international financial institutions, the New Development Bank, or “BRICS bank,” and the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).

What has set the two multilateral financing vehicles apart from established international development banks is that they are spearheaded by emerging economies and have made headway in a short period of time.   Continue reading “China Uses Development Bank Push to Become Banker to Emerging Markets”

Liberty Blitzkrieg – by Michael Krieger

A major theme here at Liberty Blitzkrieg over the past year has been the creative ways in which corrupt Chinese oligarchs and government officials are maneuvering their way into the United States. To be clear, I am not anti-immigration by any stretch of the imagination. My mother was an immigrant. This is about being against corrupt and morally compromised individuals being welcomed here with open arms just because they have cash. We have enough domestic criminal oligarchs as it stands. These people have collectively captured the American political and economic system and control it to their own ends. Do we really need to import more of these types from abroad?   Continue reading “How the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is Selling Residency to Chinese “Investors” at $500k a Pop”

Texas Gov.-elect Greg Abbott announced Wednesday that Texas is leading a 17-state coalition suing the Obama administration over the president’s executive actions on immigration.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Texas on Wednesday, and names the heads of the top immigration enforcement agencies as defendants.

Abbott, in a news conference in Austin, said the “broken” immigration system should be fixed by Congress, not by “presidential fiat.”    Continue reading “Texas leads coalition of 17 states in lawsuit against Obama immigration actions”

The Hershey Co. may replace corn syrup with sugar in some products, the latest sign of waning demand for the syrup and growing competition in the sweetener market.

“One of the things we are actively exploring is replacing high-fructose corn syrup with sugar in some products,” company spokesman Jeff Beckman said in an e-mailed statement, citing consumer demand.   Continue reading “Hershey may switch to sugar from corn syrup to satisfy consumers”

Personal Liberty – by Brandon Smith

Many times in the past I have discussed the concept of what I call the “non-participation principle,” but often people misinterpret what “non-participation” really entails. Such a strategy does not mean an individual activist or group simply refuses to support the system by not using Federal Reserve notes, or not paying taxes, or not buying Monsanto-generated frankenfoods. That kind of thing is all well and good. But ultimately, non-participation means taking away power from the corrupt political and financial elite. Sometimes, this is done through force of arms — but not always in the way some might believe.   Continue reading “The Ferguson conundrum solved by community security”

What follows is a statement of reality, NOT what could be!

Since the turn of the century, and especially in the last six plus years, aided by Congress, there has been an accelerated paradigm shift in America away from a Republic to a soft dictatorship with more power being consolidated into the hands of a single individual than any American patriot would have ever believed! So please read, and I invite one and all to challenge any part of this article they feel is falsely stated!   Continue reading “The Truth Of Tyranny: What We Have Already Lost”

Breitbart – by AWR Hawkins

Although the elections and Michael Bloomberg’s original $50 million pledge to beat the NRA are over, the former mayor is still spending money and is considering a push for gun control in 12 more states.

The goal in some of the states is the same kind of initiative that Bloomberg and other one-percenters pushed through in Washington, while in others, the goal is to pressure legislators to support gun control expansion under the guise of fighting domestic violence or by following California’s lead with “gun violence restraining orders.”    Continue reading “Michael Bloomberg Targets 12 More States for Gun Control”

Once upon a time, in medieval universities, new students enrolled in the Trivium. It was the foundation curriculum. It was required. Its parts were: grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

Grammar: the interior construction of language.

Logic: the valid and invalid connections in the course of a formal argument; the method of proper reasoning; the deductive links in a chain, at the end of which appears a conclusion.   Continue reading “Education programming 101: destroy logic”

GONZALES — An enraged stranger pulled into a woman’s driveway Sunday night as she unloaded her car from a shopping trip and the two fought, with the woman, screaming for help, managing to fall into her house along with the man.

The incident began about 8 p.m. at 11168 Martin Road in Gonzales, where the woman, unpacking her vehicle, saw a stranger pull in behind her, get out and begin screaming at her, said Lt. Col. Bobby Webre, of the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office. “She had no idea who he was,” Webre said.   Continue reading “Gonzales woman’s screams thwart attempted kidnapping”

The ink on Barack Obama’s Chuck Hagel termination letter hasn’t dried yet but already the US president’s new, and seemingly far more hawkish advisors, are having their warmongering presence felt. Case in point: the Eastern European theater of (Cold) war, where Military.comreports that the new Army commander in Europe plans to bolster the U.S. armored presence in Poland and the Baltic states and keep rotations of U.S. troops there through next year and possibly beyond tocounter Russia. Lt. Gen. Frederick “Ben” Hodges, who replaced Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell  earlier this month as commander of U.S. Army Europe, said the Army was looking to add about 100 Abrams tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles to the forces in Eastern Europe.   Continue reading “US Army Sends 100 Tanks To Eastern Europe To “Deter Russian Aggression””

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man stabbed to death last week on a Las Vegas Strip pedestrian walkway was identified Tuesday as a homeless ex-convict from Pennsylvania dubbed the “pantyhose prankster” and sentenced to prison for making lurid telephone calls to women in several Eastern states.

Rip Alan Swartz, 46, made thousands of random calls to banks, restaurants and other numbers he found in telephone books before he provided his real name to a Virginia woman and was arrested in 2011, said Detective Sgt. Thomas Kauffman, of the Upper Allen Township Police Department in Pennsylvania.   Continue reading “Vegas Strip slaying victim was Pennsylvania ex-con”
