Cannabis oil is gathering an unstoppable momentum as a world class healer, and there is little or nothing Western Governments are going to be able to do stop it. Cases are popping up all over the world showing that cannabis oil has healed some very serious diseases, including anxiety disorders, epilepsy, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), cerebral palsy and cancer. This young man healed his stage IV throat, stomach and pancreatic cancer with cannabis oil. This Australian women healed her terminal stage IV lung cancer with it.

Record-low gas prices across the U.S. have given rise to fresh talk in Washington of raising the federal gas tax for the first time in over 20 years, with leading Republicans now saying a hike must not be ruled out.

The GOP has long resisted calls from business leaders and others to boost the 18.4 cent-per-gallon tax as a way to pay for upgrades to the nation’s crumbling roads and bridges.

Yet in recent days, senior Senate Republicans have said they want to keep options open and that “nothing is off the table” when weighing the best mechanisms to pay to finance infrastructure projects.   Continue reading “Momentum builds in Congress for raising the federal gas tax”

NEW YORK — New York state’s requirement that children be vaccinated before attending public school does not violate their constitutional rights, a federal appeals court in Manhattan said on Wednesday.

In affirming the requirement’s constitutionality, a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also upheld a previous ruling by a federal judge that students exempted from the requirement for religious reasons can be barred from school when another child has a disease preventable by a vaccine.   Continue reading “State Vaccine Requirement Is Lawful, Appeals Court Says”

A traffic stop in Indiana, Pa., has turned into a federal lawsuit for an unspecified sum. This, after a 23-year-old woman claims a veteran police detective wrongly arrested her, beat her with his flashlight and kicked her during a traffic stop.

According to the Associated Press, it all began when Karissa Nikole Smith was driving her father’s car with an expired registration after going to an evening Mass.

The AP writes:

The lawsuit, first reported the Indiana Gazette, contends Indiana Borough Detective Scott Schuller, a 20-year veteran, falsely claimed the car’s license plate light wasn’t working properly as a pretense to make the stop. The suit says the officer dragged Smith, then 23, from the car when she tried to phone her father after she was pulled over Nov. 1, 2013.   Continue reading “Pa. woman who says she was wrongly arrested, beaten by cop during traffic stop files federal lawsuit”

A California newspaper will continue to use the term “illegals” to describe people who enter the U.S. without permission, despite an attack on its building by vandals believed to object to the term.

The Santa Barbara News-Press’s front entrance was sprayed with the message “The border is illegal, not the people who cross it” in red paint, sometime either Wednesday night or early Thursday, according to the newspaper’s director of operations, Donald Katich. The attack came amid wider objections to a News-Press headline that used the word “illegals” alongside a story on California granting driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally.   Continue reading “California newspaper office vandalized over use of ‘illegal’ immigrant label”

Prevent Disease – by DAVE MIHALOVIC

It happens more often than you can imagine, but more Doctors are finally getting caught in the act of misrepresenting their oath and fraudulently diagnosing healthy patients with cancer to turn a quick buck from kickbacks on chemotherapy poisons.

Why shouldn’t Doctors lie when the entire cancer industry is one gigantic fabrication from start to finish? Is it any wonder that cancer societies worldwide put a far greater financial initiative on chemotherapy and radiation research than disease prevention techniques? Preventing disease doesn’t make money, but treating disease certainly does.   Continue reading “More Doctors Confessing To Intentionally Diagnosing Healthy People With Cancer To Make Money”
