It should come as no surprise that crop dust – that is, dirt and other contaminants that accumulate mostly during harvest season – is full of some questionable ingredients. What one farmer found when he sent some dust from his hog building outside his brother’s and father’s farms where they grow Liberty Link and Roundup Ready corn is a little more shocking.
The farmer collected some dust from the corners of the building where he housed his pigs and sent it to a lab, simply labeling it ‘hog dust.’ Midwest labs sent back their results: Continue reading “Farmer Finds Surprising Results When He Sends GMO Crop ‘Dust’ to Lab”
We live in a convenience-driven society. Fast food businesses thrive while home cooking flounders. Trips to the pharmacy can now be undertaken without getting out of your car, using the handy drive-through. Standard cleaning products are quickly being overtaken by disposable items you toss in the trash after one use. We’ve been brainwashed by the marketing companies to believe that the simplest things are wildly inconvenient, and that in our time-crunched society we must pay for shortcuts.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria has already been shattered by more than four years of civil war, and with no solution in sight, some players on the ground and observers outside have concluded its fate will be to break up along sectarian or regional lines — in a best-case scenario, tenuously held together by a less centralized state.
A true partition would risk yet more mayhem, including ethnic or sectarian cleansing and battle over every bend in the border. But so spectacular is Syria’s disaster that many wonder whether its disparate groups can share a unifying national sentiment again.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Beware of the wildlife.
Elephants and crocodiles have killed seven people in separate incidents over a seven-week period in an around a wildlife park in Malawi, the park’s managers said. African Parks, a Johannesburg-based group, on Monday attributed the deaths in Liwonde National Park primarily to the fact that the reserve is unfenced and also because poachers are illegally entering the park. The park’s 80-mile (130-kilometer) perimeter will be fenced, which will take 18 months, according to the non-profit group. Continue reading “Elephants, crocodiles kill 7 people at Malawi park”

An unpaid parking ticket proved fatal for Michigan resident David Stojcevski. A lawsuit alleges that Stojcevski was jailed after not paying a traffic ticket, and then died of drug withdrawal on the concrete floor of a cell at the Macomb County Jail because authorities intentionally withheld medication that could have saved his life.
“He should have had medical attention,” Dr. Frank McGeorge, an expert in custody death cases, told TV station WDIV. “People do not die from withdrawal all the time. They die from withdrawal when there is neglect associated with it.” Continue reading “A Death Sentence For $772 Unpaid Traffic Ticket?”

Los Angeles, CA — The United States government deliberately hid “the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history,” according to experts and anin-depth investigation by NBC4 Southern California.

Jews have identified as “White” in order to infiltrate, take over, and subvert White Western civilization. However, now that they have achieved incredible power and used government, media, and academia to wage an all-out assault against White people, top jewish leaders are now telling jews to abandon “Whiteness” in order to join in the fight against “racism”. According to them, race is just a social construct, so there really is no issue with jews choosing to be White one day and an oppressed minority (that controls almost everything) the next.
