Ferguson, Mo. – After the grand jury decision, the police, in an extremely callous and brutal move, opened fire with rubber bullet and tear gas on a group carrying an unconscious woman to the police line looking for help during a protest.

The stunning video, by Tim Pool, shows a group as they approach the police line shouting,

“She’s having a heart attack! She’s having a heart attack! She needs help!”

cops kill man for walking down the streetFree Thought Project – by John Vibes

Martinsburg, Virginia – This week, the family of a Virginia man who was killed by police is filing for an appeal in their lawsuit against the city, which was railroaded out of court last year after the incident occurred.

In the aftermath of this case, it was discovered that police not only shot an innocent man 23 times while he was surrounded by a half dozen officers, but also that those officers attempted to plant evidence, tamper with the crime scene, make false statements and stage a massive cover up for a murder.   Continue reading “Police Beat, Taser, and Shoot Man 23 Times, Killing Him for Walking Down the Street”

Police rush in to break up protesters outside the Ferguson police station in Ferguson, Missouri, 20 November 2014.Obama seeks increased funding for training and body cameras, but says no to halting the flow of military equipment to local police forces. Never let a crisis go to waste.  Sounds like our nation’s police forces are about to be Common Cored — or, that the military training they have been receiving for some time is now going to be out in the open and “for our own good.”

Barack Obama has resisted calls to cancel or significantly curtail federal programs that transfer billions of dollars of military equipment to local police forces on Monday, choosing instead to focus on improving the training of officers given access to high-powered weapons and armoured vehicles previously used in Iraq and Afghanistan.   Continue reading “Obama resists demands to curtail police militarisation calling instead for improved officer training”

Since the Western Press has directed their wrath at Vladimir Putin as their latest villain, while his approval rate soars to 88% in Russia, most Americans are not familiar with Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov, much less know his public statements. Lavrov is a thoughtful contrast to the rigid and contemptuous foreign policy spokesmen’s from the Soviet era. It is well worth the time to investigate the actual sentiments that Lavrov has expressed throughout his diplomatic career. An insight of the mindset that underpins his thinking is revealed over two years ago, in the Voltaire Network, which published Sergey Lavrov’s account, On the Right Side of History and provided the following assessment.   Continue reading “Russia’s Sergey Lavrov “Clash of Civilizations””

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Reuters) – An Albuquerque police officer who shot and killed a 19-year-old woman in April was fired from the police force on Monday for failing to follow an order to turn on his uniform camera during all citizen contacts, police said.

The officer, Jeremy Dear, had been under scrutiny because his uniform camera was not turned on during the April 21 incident in which he shot a woman who was stopped on suspicion of vehicle theft after he said she pointed a gun at him.   Continue reading “Albuquerque policeman who shot woman fired over camera lapse”

It turns out you can give thanks for a lot of different folks on the Disney Channel website – but you can’t thank God.

I received a Facebook message on Sunday from Julie Anderson, of Angier, North Carolina, a town located about 30 miles from Raleigh.  Julie was writing to tell me about her daughter, Lilly.

Lilly celebrated her 10th birthday on Sunday. After church and a delicious lunch at the Golden Corral, the Andersons headed home – and Lilly made a beeline for the computer.   Continue reading “Why did Disney block God?”

fear (1)Waking Times – by Julian Rose

Fear is real enough isn’t it?

I mean, there are times when each one of us feels ‘afraid’. If we didn’t we most probably wouldn’t be around to tell tell the story.

Biological fear is instinctual – but non biological fear is not instinctual. So firstly we have to sort these two out. Fear as an instinct is that inner warning bell – or shiver – which tells us that we are probably or actually – in danger. It needs heeding.   Continue reading “The Fear of Fear: How To Beat It”

Around 69% of American citizens are receiving fluoridated tap water. With those numbers, it is important to know how to remove the fluoride from your body.

“Although fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in animal models, and acute fluoride poisoning causes neurotoxicity in adults, very little is known of its effects on children’s neurodevelopment. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies to investigate the effects of increased fluoride exposure and delayed neurobehavioral development…children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas…The results support the possibility of an adverse effect of high fluoride exposure on children’s neurodevelopment [1].”   Continue reading “6 Ways to Naturally Cleanse Fluoride Out of Your Body”

Treasury Secretary Jacob LewCNS News – by Terence P. Jeffrey

The Daily Treasury Statement that was released Wednesday afternoon as Americans were preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving revealed that the U.S. Treasury has been forced to issue $1,040,965,000,000 in new debt since fiscal 2015 started just eight weeks ago in order to raise the money to pay off Treasury securities that were maturing and to cover new deficit spending by the government.

During those eight weeks, Treasury took in $341,591,000,000 in revenues. That was a record for the period between Oct. 1 and Nov. 25. But that record $341,591,000,000 in revenues was not enough to finance ongoing government spending let alone pay off old debt that matured.   Continue reading “Ponzi: Treasury Issues $1T in New Debt in 8 Weeks—To Pay Old Debt”
