The invention of electricity transformed the lives of many. No longer were work days limited to the sun’s rays, and with longer hours to work with creative inspiration, inspired dreams could become reality.

But in many areas of the world, conveniences common to the Western world are still foreign. For example, 1 billion people currently experience energy poverty and have no means of illumination during the day or after dark.

Almost half of the people killed by police in Georgia since 2010 were unarmed or shot in the back according to a new investigation. More than one-third of those killed were shot at their own home after officers responded to a call for help or a domestic dispute.

According to the data, at least 70 people were shot in the back by police officers. Roughly one in six people were unarmed, while one in four exhibited signs of mental illness before their deaths.

“The attack on the MSF hospital in Kunduz involved possible war crimes,” said the advocacy group’s Washington director Sarah Margon. “The ongoing U.S. inquiry will not be credible unless it considers criminal liability and is protected from improper command influence.”   Continue reading “Backing MSF, Human Rights Watch Says US Must Consent to War Crimes Probe”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s not just a junkyard — or even a really big junkyard — but a living, breathing monument to Los Angeles pop culture. And now it’s headed for the dustbin of history itself.

For 54 years, Aadlen Brothers Auto Wrecking, in a moonscaped, god-forsaken-looking section of the San Fernando Valley, has collected far more than thousands of burned-out, smashed-up, rusted automobiles on its sprawling dirt and asphalt lot.   Continue reading “Final curtain coming down on giant Hollywood junkyard”

Townsend Letter – by Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null

The vast majority of scientists, physicians, nurses, and public health educators trust that the ingredients in a vaccine have been individually and synergistically proven safe and ef­fective. The public believes that these vaccines, aside from their specified virus(es), are sterile solutions, free from undesirable contaminants not listed on the manufacturers’ package inserts. When the pediatrician injects a vaccine into the muscle of a child, the parents’ unquestioning faith is that this is the case. In other words, we want to believe that vaccines have been generated under perfect conditions for the safety of children and ourselves.   Continue reading “Vaccines’ Dark Inferno … What Is Not on the Vaccine Insert Labels?”

Terrorism experts and mainstream media pundits have spent the last few months since the Paris terror attacks speculating over what type of targets ISIS or their sympathizers would attempt to hit next.

Although the exact nature of the next attack is obviously unknown, “experts” all agree that the most likely place for such an attack would be so-called soft targets – department stores, movie theaters, restaurants etc.   Continue reading “Soft target dry run?
