TRANG BANG, Vietnam (AP) — He stands in the northbound lane of Vietnam’s Highway 1, traffic swirling around him, horns honking. He is pointing. Right there, he says — that’s where it happened. That’s where the screaming children appeared. That’s where I made the picture that the world couldn’t forget.

Huynh Cong “Nick” Ut was 21 on that day more than half a lifetime ago when he stood on the same road, pointed his camera northeast and captured one of history’s most famous images — a naked Vietnamese girl screaming and fleeing after South Vietnamese planes looking for Viet Cong insurgents attacked with napalm from the air.   Continue reading “‘Napalm girl’ photographer returns _ with iPhone, Instagram”

DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether civilian employees or private contractors helped two convicted killers obtain the power tools they used to break out of a maximum-security state prison near the Canadian border, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

Cuomo said during a round of appearances on television morning news shows that he’d be shocked if a prison guard was involved in the escape from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, 20 miles south of the border.   Continue reading “Cuomo: Prison escape probe focuses on likely ‘inside’ help”

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The United States government is defending itself against a Chinese tourist’s $10 million injury claim with the testimony of a surprising witness — a border agent the government initially fired and charged criminally in the case.

Customs and Border Protection employee Robert Rhodes, who was cleared of wrongdoing and reinstated, said he jumped at the chance to testify in the lawsuit filed by Zhao Yan, even though the U.S. government’s prosecution of him left him bankrupt.   Continue reading “US government challenges Chinese tourist’s injury claim”

We are all living in a potential radiation hotzone of the future. Radiation is silent, invisible, has no smell, and there is a good chance that we all will have to deal with radiation in our lifetimes. It could be, as NWO kingpin George Soros says, an all out nuclear war with China and Russia. It could just be that a few nukes pop a couple hundred miles in the air, using our nationwide electrical grid as a giant antenna to wipe out our power stations (an EMP). That would lead to a meltdown of our nuke plants plants all over the country, which need a power grid to cool themselves. If you think you are “prepping,” but you aren’t prepared to measure both high and low levels of radiation (two distinct issues), it might be time to take a look at your options.   Continue reading “Prepping 101: $30 Geiger Counter for Android/IPhone – Works!

Off the Grid Survival – by Malaya Careta

Americans garden for many reasons. For some, it’s pleasant to get some fresh air after a long day in the office. Others do it for aesthetic pleasure. However, for those striving for self-reliance on their off-the-grid homestead, gardening is an essential component in the family’s food production operation. In many cases, both time and space limit the size of a garden.

To address those seeking to grow a large portion of their own food on limited resources, author and organic plant breeder Carol Deppe has written an informative book, The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times.   Continue reading “The 5 Most Important Crops You Need For Survival”

The Guardian – by Steven W Thrasher

You’re never too old to be killed by an interaction with a police officer in the United States: though the Guardian’s analysis of every police killing in 2015 to date found that the average age of people killed by police is 37, some 20 people killed this year have been in their 60s, seven in their 70s, and two in their 80s – about six elderly people a month.

The circumstances behind the killing of elder citizens by police mirror the many reasons why Americans of all ages (some 473 in total this year as of the time this was published) are killed by police.   Continue reading “Imagine: you call the police to check on your grandfather, and they shoot him”

Gunwatch – by Dean Weingarten

A gun turn in (buy back) event was held in San Jose, California, on the 6th of June, 2015.   The number of firearms turned in was meager for such a large population center, with one fourth turned in by one person.  There are no photographs of the firearms turned in available yet, but it is highly probable that the 47 firearms turned in by one person were the collection of a family member who died.  That is a common source of guns turned in at these events.  From mercurynews.com :   Continue reading “CA: San Jose Gun Turn in (Buy back) gets 47 from one person”

First a little background, a chemistry lesson if you will, before we get started. Ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol is also known as ethanol or even better known as “drinking alcohol”. Its chemical compound is C2H5OH, and it is produced by fermentation.

Ethanol is, different from Isopropyl alcohol (C3H80), which is more commonly known as rubbing alcohol. Do not confuse the two. Both are produced by the fermentation process however, the fermenting agent for isopropyl is a bacterium while, ethyl uses a yeast.   Continue reading “10 Survival Uses for Alcohol”

Zero Hedge – by Pheonix Capital Research

More and more analysts are beginning to take note of the “War on Cash.” However, they’re missing the fact that the actual template for what’s coming to the US first appeared in Europe back in 2012.

Back in March of 2012, when the EU Crisis first began to spin out of control, then Prime Minister of France Nicolas Sarkozy openly called for the renegotiation of the Schengen Treaty: the treaty that established the 26-nation EU as a “borderless” entity in which individuals could move from one country to another with little difficulty and which also made trade among EU members easier.   Continue reading “The European “Template” For Dealing With Crises: Freezing Accounts, Bank Holidays, and Capital Controls…”

The G-7 countries, the US, the UK, Canada, Japan, France, Germany and Italy, have declared economic war on their voters. They are meeting today and tomorrow in Bavaria. They seem to have attracted quite a few protesters. There would be many more people in the streets if they knew what was being planned for them.

The unelected European Commission has ordered 11 formerly sovereign nations to pass laws permitting Cyprus style Bail-Ins so the Bankers can take depositors cash and pay off their speculative losses. The other 17 presumably had already passed such laws. There is some urgency in this demand because the 11 foot dragging countries were given a two month deadline. The US and Canada have already taken similar measures. US courts have ruled that American depositors are uninsured investors. In case of a bank’s bankruptcy people who bought Credit Default Swaps have priority to being paid over depositors.   Continue reading “The G-7 Countries Declared Economic War On Their Voters”

BATR, 2003

At the core of self delusion is the inability and/or the unwillingness of facing reality. While psychological disorders can often explain abnormal behavior in individuals, the exegesis for deviant social attitudes and accompanying conduct is reserved for society. Or so we are told! But does this make sense to you? As long as you accept that reality does exist and that it can be understood, it follows that we have the right, the ability and the obligation to comprehend it and adjust our actions accordingly.

Most Americans view, of their own personal identity, is inculcated by the political culture. Delmar England, in his provocative work – Mind and Matters, The World in a Mirror – offers this valuable insights into our mutual and shared condition: “In human affairs, as surely as effect is preceded by action, action is preceded by belief, and belief is preceded by thought and conclusions.”   Continue reading “The Nature of American Denial”

Breitbart – by Lana Shadwick

The attorney for nine of the Twin Peaks bikers told Breitbart Texas that he was in effect told “You Sir, are poured the f*** out.” A hearing was held this week on motions to remove three McLennan County judges who set and retained $1 million bonds on bikers arrested at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas. The attorney argued that the judges demonstrated bias and should be recused from making future rulings.   Continue reading “Waco Bikers’ Attorney Essentially ‘Poured The F*** Out’ In Hearing To Remove Biased Judges”
