A Monsanto food list has been circulated around the Internet for the past three years advising consumers to boycott the companies listed as using Monsanto GMO products (1).

Some of those posting this list claim that Monsanto “owns” these companies, which is incorrect (2).

Any list composed of Monsanto GMO foods to avoid should reflect substantiated data that the company is specifically using Monsanto’s GMO food products. So far, all that is being shown is a list with no supporting documents.   Continue reading “A Monsanto Food List to Avoid”

Over the years, it has been difficult to tell exactly how many people have been killed by police. So many cases are swept under the rug and totally ignored because the suspect was “guilty” of some small nonviolent offense, or because they ran from the police.

Luckily, in recent years as the alternative media has begun to expose police killings, independent organizations are beginning to keep a tally of every killing they possibly can. This tallying is done to give the public a more accurate figure, and show them how much of a problem this actually is.   Continue reading “121 Dead: July Was the Deadliest Month in Recent History for Police Killings”

Attorney Mark Reichel has been waiting years for answers. Years, he says, during which “not a day goes by that I don’t think about the Eric McDavid case. What happened there was wrong in every way. We don’t live in that kind of country. This is a terribly frightening story in a free society.”

McDavid was released in January after serving nine years of a 20-year sentence on federal charges related to an alleged ecoterrorism conspiracy. Documents had emerged, two months earlier, that were absent at his trial, including correspondence supporting his claim that he had been entrapped by an FBI operation involving a paid informant.   Continue reading “Tough Questions for Feds After They Jailed an Innocent Man for Nine Years”

There’s “good order and discipline,” and then there’s “poor leadership and judgment.”

Unfortunately, I agree with Allen West that it’s more of the latter we’re seeing, with the news that the Navy is bringing charges against Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) Timothy White, who returned fire against terrorist Muhammad Abdulazeez in Chattanooga on 16 July.  (A second uniformed man present, an unnamed Marine, is also reported to have returned fire.  It hasn’t been publicly reported whether either defender hit Abdulazeez in the exchange.)   Continue reading “Navy brings charges against officer who fired back at Chattanooga terrorist”
