NBC 2 News is reporting a new “partnership” between the Erie County Department of Social Services and New York public schools that would place a Child Protective Services (CPS) employee in the Erie County local suburban schools several days per week.

The media unsurprisingly reports this as a way to give school staff faster access to child welfare “expertise” and also “streamlining and expediting” the CPS investigation process. That is, the news is being spun to get parents – who are now seemingly potential criminals up for investigation – to accept this new, intrusive development while your child remains a ward of the State for eight hours a day, five days a week.   Continue reading “CPS Workers Now Being Installed In Public Schools”

I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as the government underwent a peaceful transition of power a few short years ago..

At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism while Barack Obama took his Oath of Office.

However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the President.   Continue reading “This came from a Marine’s wife. It says it all:”

Our world of convenience has caused most Americans to lose touch with the work involved in food. Self-reliance takes a lot more than throwing some seeds on a patch of dirt and then magically being fed for a year. Grabbing a “quick” sandwich or bowl of cereal belies what it actually takes to procure those ingredients.

We take a lot for granted. We don’t think about life without things like specialized supply purveyors, large-scale agriculture, cheap labor, machines for manufacturing, and the transportation system.  Very few people can imagine life without the accessibility provided to us by grocery stores and processed food. Even in the circles of those who stick closely to a non-processed diet, few go all the way.   Continue reading “The Work It Actually Takes to Make a Homemade Chicken Sandwich”

A surge of deadly violence that spanned three boroughs and 24 hours left seven people dead from gunfire and four more – including a 7-year-old girl – wounded, police said Sunday.

The gory spike meant the city’s weekly murder rate increased fivefold from 2014 — jumping from two last year to 10 this year.

The bloodshed continued into Sunday, when a 24-year-old man was fatally shot at 2:49 p.m. on Briggs Ave. and E. 194th St. in Fordham, the Bronx. Police said David Hooks was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died. The cops had no motive.   Continue reading “Mayhem in three boroughs as seven people killed, four more wounded from gun violence: police”

Narrator: Two men on February of 2016 rewrote the script on President Obama’s teleprompter for what was supposed to a 5 minute speech introducing the King of Sweden. Those two men managed to get it live on air on all major networks because it was timed 30 minutes before the Super Bowl.

Obama: I have an urgent message to the American people and to all the people of the world. As you know, the Banks own our governments. We have been creating money by the trillions and giving it to Wall Street to cover their horrendously stupid investments. That is as it should be because you must have less so Bankers can have more. But bank stocks are crashing even though they were allowed to steal your pensions and will soon be stealing your deposits. Bank liquidity has dried up and that always means Depression and another World War.   Continue reading “Obama Tells Truth. Stops WW III.”

The British Parliament has come under increasing fire over its decision to skip a debate on a petition calling for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“It’s quite disappointing that the Parliament has refused to play by its own rules. The fact is that it’s a particular issue which receives over 100,000 signatures that ultimately allows to be debated on the floor of the House. The fact that it has been declined, gives rise to many questions,” said Anas al-Tikriti, chief executive of the Cordoba Foundation.   Continue reading “UK parliament under fire for declining Netanyahu arrest petition”

Specialists in infectious disease are protesting a gigantic overnight increase in the price of a 62-year-old drug that is the standard of care for treating a life-threatening parasitic infection.

The drug, called Daraprim, was acquired in August by Turing Pharmaceuticals, a start-up run by a former hedge fund manager. Turing immediately raised the price to $750 a tablet from $13.50, bringing the annual cost of treatment for some patients to hundreds of thousands of dollars.   Continue reading “Drug Goes From $13.50 a Tablet to $750, Overnight”

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., hopes its new online tool will do just that by making both sophisticated statistical analysis and feedback from experts publicly available for the first time. The goal is to produce early warnings that can help governments, policy makers, advocacy groups and scholars decide where to concentrate their efforts.   Continue reading “Holocaust Museum tool aims to predict, prevent genocide”

Law Enforcement Lobby Deploys Heavy-Handed Scare Tactics

Senator Mitchell’s Bill, SB 443, Would Have Required Conviction Before Forfeiture

SACRAMENTO, CA — Civil asset forfeiture reform legislation authored by Senator Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) and David Hadley (R-Torrance) failed to pass the Assembly Floor today after extraordinary efforts by law enforcement to defeat it, including personal calls to legislators’ cell phones and other scare tactics. Despite bipartisan support and nearly unanimous votes at every previous juncture, SB 443 could not survive the Assembly Floor vote today. However, the bill was granted reconsideration, meaning it can be taken up for another floor vote tomorrow, the final day of session, if the authors so choose.

The science on global warming is settled, so settled that 20 climate scientists are asking President Barack Obama to prosecute people who disagree with them on the science behind man-made global warming.

Scientists from several universities and research centers even asked Obama to use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to prosecute groups that “have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change.”   Continue reading “Scientists Ask Obama To Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics”

The abuse inflicted upon Boise resident Brian J. McNelis by the Ada County Sheriff’s Office is infuriatingly commonplace in post-constitutional America. The legal vindication he won last May, following a five-year legal ordeal, was very much out of the ordinary. Following a four-day federal civil trial in which McNelis represented himself, a jury ruled that former Ada County Sheriff’s Deputy Stephen Craig had perjured himself in order to obtain the warrant that led to a January 6, 2010 raid on McNelis’s home.   Continue reading “Cops Frame Innocent Man, Take His Children, Award him 1 Dollar for Destroying his Life”

He’s here. The Pope. And his covert Jesuit message is: let’s get rid of separate nations, eliminate private profit for the middle class, and return to those glorious days of the Middle Ages; my Church flourishes under those conditions; we know how to deal with wall-to-wall misery; oh, and here’s the collection plate.

He’s part of the international gang that throws around the word “capitalism” as if it’s a mortal sin.   Continue reading “The Pope Appeareth”

(Editor’s Note: Even if you are against all synthetic drugs and feel they should never be taken under any circumstances, this type of criminality and lack of basic decency typifies the sordid state of Big Pharma healthcare.)

After purchasing the rights to a drug that prevents infections in people with weakened immune systems, including AIDS patients and cancer survivors undergoing chemotherapy, a pharmaceutical company has raised the price of the drug by 5,000%. Instead of paying $13.50 per pill, patients with life-threatening illnesses are now forced to pay $750 per pill.   Continue reading “Big Pharma Company Buys Patent Rights To Life-Saving Drug And Raises Price By 5,000 Percent”

An academic says he and his colleagues have demonstrated a major breakthrough in the quest for invisibility, and he has the military’s attention.

Boubacar Kante, a professor at the University of California-San Diego, and his colleagues tested the first effective “dielectric metasurface cloak.” That’s a fancy way of describing a super-thin, non-metal material that manipulates electromagnetic waves, including visible light and radio waves.   Continue reading “Breakthrough in cloaking technology grabs military’s attention”

When a jury gathers next week for the trial of two men charged with the murder of a U.S. federal agent, it will not hear any details of how two guns found at the murder scene were part of a U.S. government-sanctioned weapon program, a federal judge has ruled.

Friday morning, U.S. District Court Judge David Bury agreed with U.S. prosecutors to keep the details of Operation Fast and Furious out of the upcoming trial for the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.   Continue reading “Judge rules to keep Operation Fast and Furious out of Terry murder trial”
