Fresh water is mysteriously disappearing from the Sacramento-San Jose Joaquin River Delta, amid California’s worst recorded drought. The blame is being pointed at farmers, who have used the water resources for irrigation for generations.

Following complaints from two state agencies, the Department of Water Resources and the US Bureau of Reclamation, an investigation has been launched into how much water Delta farmers are taking.    Continue reading “Water rapidly vanishing in California’s biggest delta”

A German court has shut down a long-standing anti-Israel exhibition in the western city of Cologne, accusing its organizer of anti-Semitism and glorification of violence.

The German municipal court said the permanent exhibit, which displayed numerous pictures of the Palestinian children who were killed and injured during the Israeli regime’s bloody offensive against Gaza last summer, violates a law designed to protect minors.   Continue reading “German court shuts down anti-Israel exhibition”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Over the centuries there have been many stories, some based on loose facts, others based on hearsay, conjecture, speculation and outright lies, about groups of people who “control the world.” Some of these are partially accurate, others are wildly hyperbolic, but when it comes to the historic record, nothing comes closer to the stereotypical, secretive group determining the fate of over 7 billion people, than the Bank of International Settlements, which hides in such plain sight, that few have ever paid much attention.   Continue reading “Meet The Secretive Group That Runs The World”

The world’s central banks have a problem.

When economic conditions worsen, they react by reducing interest rates in order to stimulate the economy. But, as has happened across the world in recent years, there comes a point where those central banks run out of room to cut — they can bring interest rates to zero, but reducing them further below that is fraught with problems, the biggest of which is cash in the economy.

In a new piece, Citi’s Willem Buiter looks at this problem, which is known as the effective lower bound (ELB) on nominal interest rates.   Continue reading “Citi Economist Says It Might Be Time to Abolish Cash”

Cherished family heirlooms were among the 21 firearms Michael Roberts surrendered to the Torrance Police Department in 2010, after his doctor filed a restraining order against him.

The court order was the result of a dispute Roberts had with a member of the doctor’s staff and, after Roberts pleaded no contest, the matter was resolved. Yet, even though he filed the proper Law Enforcement Gun Release paperwork on four separate occasions, obtained clearance from the California Department of Justice and had two court orders commanding the return of his guns, police refused to hand them over.   Continue reading “Right to Bear Arms?

WASHINGTON –  Four former Blackwater security guards face decades in prison when they are sentenced Monday for their roles in a 2007 shooting of Iraqi civilians.

Three of the guards — Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty and Paul Slough — face mandatory, decades-long sentences because of firearm convictions. A fourth, Nicholas Slatten, faces a life sentence after being found guilty of first-degree murder.

The men were charged in the deaths of 14 Iraqis at Nisoor Square, a crowded traffic circle in downtown Baghdad. The killings caused an international uproar, and the men were convicted in October after a legal fight that spanned years.   Continue reading “Former Blackwater guards to be sentenced for 2007 shooting of Iraqi civilians”

Surgical Removal of Body Parts is Sane But Eating Healthy is CrazyNutritional Anarchy

I think it’s really time for America to rethink what makes someone a positive example of taking charge of one’s health.

For example, many of us avoid fluoridated tap water and GMOs, and people think we’re nuts.

Angelina Jolie has her breasts and female reproductive parts removed and she’s a freakin’ national hero for preventative health care.  They’re calling the action “future-proofing against cancer.”   Continue reading ““Future-Proofing”: Where Surgical Removal of Body Parts is Sane, But Eating Healthy is Crazy”

Evans, CO– New details are emerging in the case of former corrections Officer Tom Fallis. He was arrested for murder three years after his wife’s death was ruled a suicide, despite being shot in the back of the head.

The case was reopened in April of last year after previously unheard witness testimony surfaced in addition to claims that the case was mishandled by police detective Michael Yates.   Continue reading “Bad Cop Kills Wife After Catching Her Smoking Marijuana, “Good Cop” Helps Him Cover It Up”

Discours de la Servitude Volontaire'-LaBoétie001Armstrong Economics – by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT:

Mr. Armstrong, I realize this topic is not your normal everyday discussion in your blogs and it does not matter to me if you post this or not, However, I thought you might like this condensed story between my wife and I.

To be honest here,  I recently read a very small book written over 450 years ago by Etienne de La boetie titled ‘Discours de la Servitude Volontaire’.  It was this book that inspired me to write a personal but not private conversation she and I had together due to this young man’s knowledge  of the cure which he saw back then and which the majority of the people on this planet seem to never understand.   Continue reading “Discourse on Voluntary Servitude”

The International Union of Climate Fascists, as it prepares to establish a totalitarian world “governing body” over us at the Paris climate yadayadathon this December, with the active support of governments worldwide slavering at the prospect of bringing the democracy they hate to an end, faces a tiresome problem that just won’t go away.

Totalitarians can push man around and, oh boy, do they long to. But they can’t push nature around.   Continue reading “I challenge climate fascists with $500,000 bet”

Few words stir up passion and polarization like sustainability. The EPA offers up this description. “The traditional definition of sustainability calls for policies and strategies that meet society’s present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Gee, who could disagree with such touchy and feely sentiments? The answer is always in the details and when you strip away the platitudes, what remains is a coordinated plot to enslave humanity under a burden of a Carbon Tax scheme. The environment has more risk from globalist central planning than from any fossil fuel emissions. Proponents of the global warming religion demonstrate a disdain for rational thinking that challenges their doctrine of a heterodox belief. The sustainability cult ignores any evidence that conflicts with their political agenda.   Continue reading “Sustainability in All Things except Rational Thinking”
