A bill that would heavily diminish the effect of federal programs that militarize local police was signed into law on Thursday.

Introduced by Rep. Nicholas Schwaderer (R-Superior), House Bill 330 (HB330) bans state or local law enforcement from receiving significant classes of military equipment from the Pentagon’s “1033 Program.” It passed by a 46-1 vote in the state Senate and by a 79-20 vote in the state House. On Thursday, Gov. Steve Bullock signed it into law.    Continue reading “Montana Bill to Help Block Federal Militarization of Police Signed into Law”

Over the years, I have expressed my opinions on the bogus nature of the expiration dates stamped on medications in pill or capsule form.  I have cited the findings of the Shelf  Life Extension Program, a program meant to investigate the possible usefulness of the millions of doses of various expired medications stockpiled by FEMA for use in peacetime disasters.

In my original article, “The Truth About Expiration Dates” 2 years ago, I indicated these findings were no longer available to the public.  Now, a breakthrough scientific article has been published in the respected journal “The Archives of Internal Medicine”.  Below is the article in its entirety, with important sections in bold type:   Continue reading “New Evidence on Expiration Dates”

Last week, the Greek government issued a decree which called for local governments to transfer excess cash to the central bank so that Athens would be able to pay pensions, salaries, and the IMF. The move is expected to raise as much as €2 billion to help keep the country afloat while the country’s “amateurish, time-wasting gambler” of a FinMin feebly attempts to find some kind of middle ground with his EU counterparts and as PM Tsipras pulls out all the stops including the old EU Summit sideline end-around with Merkel and the wild card energy gas pipeline advance from Gazprom (which may portend the dreaded “Russian pivot”).     Continue reading “Capital Controls Arrive: Greece Begins Confiscating Deposits Of “Small Debtors””

Russian Jews would be in serious danger if Russian President Vladimir Putin was ever ousted from power, a senior Russian rabbi has stated. He added, the current government guarantees the safety of Jewish people better than many Western powers do.

“The Jews of Russia must realize the dangers inherent in the possible collapse of the Putin government, understand the rules of the game and be aware of the limitations,” the head of Russian Federation of Jewish Communities Aleksandr Boroda said at an annual Jewish learning event, which was organized by Limmud FSU.   Continue reading “Russian Jews face ‘grave dangers’ if Putin is ousted, warns senior rabbi”

I once said a minimum of ten million Americans will starve to death when this Depression goes Really Big. I have also written about Fukushima, chemtrails, GMO, gene splicing and other disasters.

Today I have to say I agree with Dane Wigington who said the earth is being systematically rendered inhospitable to human life. We will be gone in 25 years if we do not stop this insanity imposed on us from those in authority.   Continue reading “So If Fukushima Kills The Oceans And Geoengineering Kills The Trees What Happens To Us?”

A kinder, gentler cop? Not on Steve Osborne’s watch.

Top NYPD brass might be making a push towards G-rated policing, but Osborne — who spent 20 years as a tough-talking, no-nonsense New York police officer — is calling BS.
