Rick Snyder as a defendant argued that the state of Michigan, which has been so intimately involved with Detroit Public Schools for almost 20 years, has no responsibility to ensure students in the district are able to learn to read.

The suit, brought by seven Detroit schoolchildren in September of last year,charged Gov. Snyder, the members of the Michigan Board of Education, and various other state officials with failing to provide an opportunity to learn.

More than 68,000 doctors received payments in excess of $46 million — in the span of just 29 months — from goliath pharmaceutical corporations pushing opioid painkillers, researchers in a groundbreaking investigation of Big Pharma’s and the epidemic of legal and illicit opiates plaguing the United States.

Money to push opioids found one doctor in 12, and the rampant destruction wrought upon countless American families forced to cope with loved ones dependent on prescription painkillers, or on heroin sought when those ran out, proves circumstantially the dollars did their job.   Continue reading “Damning Investigation Shows Big Pharma Bribed 68,000 Doctors to Push Deadly Opioids”

THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.   Continue reading “Harrison Bergeron”

If you’ve ever spent any substantial amount of time watching Infowars, you‘ve seen three things: blatant lies, leathery male nipples, and supplements. So many supplements. Supplements to make you strong, supplements to make you sexy, and supplements to make you boom-boom caveman. Quartz recently concluded that Jones is essentially the Gwyneth Paltrow of the alt-right, as the products both celebrities peddle are equally ineffective. But if you’re looking for a more scientific conclusion as to Jones’ particular brand of snake oil, Buzzfeed’s got you covered with this new study.  Continue reading “Surprise: Scientists confirm Alex Jones’ supplements are worthless”

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So each one goes into the woods, finds a bear and attempts to convert it. Later, they all get together. The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion.”

“I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister, “and preached God’s Holy Word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.”

The United States has recently ramped up its fear campaign against North Korea once again, and while there are a number of reasons why the U.S. War Machine appears to have chosen this small nation as its next target, one thing is clear—this invasion could be incredibly beneficial for major corporations.

According to a report from Quartz, North Korea’s mountainous surface sits on top of some of the largest stockpiles of mineral reserves in the world, which are valued at TRILLIONS of US dollars. There are over 200 kinds of minerals, such as “iron, gold, magnesite, zinc, copper, limestone, molybdenum, graphite, and more.”

WEB Notes: You mean to tell me the US government has been lying to us all? No… Yes! Have you already forgotten all the failed North Korean missile launches? Have you forgotten about their bent missiles? No nation will launch a nuclear weapon if they are not certain that it will be successful. Can you be deceived so easily? Ask yourself why Iran, North Korea and Venezuela are always painted in the colors of the enemy…

They are not inline with global government. They stand in the way of a harmonized global structure and this is in fact the reason for the constant talk of war with those nations.
