NOHO — Four Swedish police officers — tourists on their way to see a Broadway show — dropped everything to help break up a fight on a crowded subway car at rush hour, witnesses said.

A tussle between straphangers broke out on a northbound 6 train at the Bleecker Street stop just before 5 p.m., witnesses said. The train’s conductor held the subway car at the station, waiting for police and asked if there were any officers onboard, witnesses said.   Continue reading “Swedish Police Break Up Subway Brawl on 6 Train, Witnesses Say”

In the midst of the news media coverage of the Hillary Clinton emails, her private Internet server, her thumbing her nose at government regulations and allegations that her and her husband’s “charity” was involved in shady deals, no one except for public-interest groups is asking about an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigation. There are several allegations that the Clinton Foundation is nothing more than a sophisticated and elaborate political slush fund, according to news stories on Monday.   Continue reading “IRS attacks conservative groups but silent on Clinton Foundation”

Food produced in the radioactive exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant could already be on store shelves around the world, experts have warned.

In March 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami triggered multiple meltdowns at the Japanese plant. Explosions ejected massive quantities of radioactive material into the air, much of which settled onto the surface of the earth around the plant. There is concern that food produced in this region could have absorbed some of this radioactive material, thereby posing a risk of cancer and other health problems to people who consume it.   Continue reading “Is radioactive food from Fukushima being sent to your grocery store?”

Banks Increasingly Refuse Cash Withdrawals – Switzerland Joins the Fun

The war on cash is proliferating globally. It appears that the private members of the world’s banking cartels are increasingly joining the fun, even if it means trampling on the rights of their customers.

Yesterday we came across an article at Zerohedge, in which Dr. Salerno of the Mises Institute notes that JP Morgan Chase has apparently joined the “war on cash”, by “restricting the use of cash in selected markets, restricting borrowers from making cash payments on credit cards, mortgages, equity lines and auto loans, as well as prohibiting storage of cash in safe deposit boxes”.   Continue reading “The “War On Cash” Migrates To Switzerland”

Washington D.C. – The FBI recently admitted that “nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000.” One of the most egregious cases to come to light thus far is the case of Santae Tribble, who served 28 years in prison after hair analysts couldn’t tell dog hair apart from human hair.   Continue reading “Innocent Man Convicted After FBI “Expert” Analysts Confused his Hair with the Hair of a DOG”

A story out of Montreal Canada has two interesting angles. First being, that police officers decided to dress up like homeless people in order to catch people, who were texting while driving, not wearing seat belts, or committing other minor vehicle infractions (basically revenue generation at its finest). The second part, is that people started to report this, prompting news outlets to seek comment from the police. The Police then admitted it was a poor way to go about enforcing such violations (or as a means of generating revenue). From CJAD 800 AM:   Continue reading “Canadian Cops Dressed As Homeless People To Catch Texting Drivers”

While the USA is busy killing US civilians and terrorists with its drone program, Russia is set to deploy its own Orlan-10 drones in the oil- and gas-rich Arctic region (reportedly to monitor the climate situation). As SputnikNews reports, Colonel Aleksandr Gordeev stated “the drones’ task is to maintain impartial control of the situation in the Russian sector of the Arctic, including the ecological and ice situation in the adjoining sea areas and along the Northern Sea Route.” So, passive-agressive? However, Russia also chose this week to release rarely-seen images of a US intelligence satellite which as one analyst notes is provocative (but obscure in its intent other than the growing recognition of US space-based surveillance assets).   Continue reading “Russia Deploys Tactical Drones In The Arctic, Exposes Rarely-Seen US Spy Satellite Images”
