Estonia, who lead the current European Union Presidency, has called upon other EU Member States to increase their Internet censorship, following in the footsteps of Communist China, according to a leaked document.

“A Council of the European Union document leaked by Statewatch on 30 August reveals that during the summer months, Estonia (current EU Presidency) has been pushing the other Member States to strengthen indiscriminate internet surveillance, and to follow in the footsteps of China regarding online censorship,” reported European Digital Rights (EDRi), an international advocacy group. “Standing firmly behind its belief that filtering the uploads is the way to go, the Presidency has worked hard in order to make the proposal for the new copyright Directive even more harmful than the Commission’s original proposal, and pushing it further into the realms of illegality.”   Continue reading “Report: EU Presidency Calls for China-Style Internet Censorship”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits jumped to a more than two-year high last week amid a surge in applications in hurricane-ravaged Texas, but the underlying trend remained consistent with a strong labor market.

The surge in claims reported by the Labor Department on Thursday offered an early glimpse of Hurricane Harvey’s impact on the economy. The storm unleashed unprecedented flooding in Houston, disrupting oil, natural gas and petrochemical production and forcing a temporary closure of refineries.   Continue reading “Hurricane Harvey boosts U.S. jobless claims to more than two-year high”

Those who avoid and evade the reason for the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would surely admit that if Lithuania had a Second Amendment, Mikhail Gorbachev violated it on March 22, 1990 – Russian troops seized arms from the Lithuanian militia. Or was “the right of the people to keep and bear arms” actually violated two days earlier, when Premier Gorbachev ordered private citizens to turn in their hunting and competition guns to the Russian army within one week “for temporary safekeeping” or have them confiscated and their owners imprisoned?

Congress has tried to sneak through amnesties three times in a little more than a decade. Every time, the American people somehow found out — despite the best efforts of the press — rose up in a rage and killed the proposed bills.

In 2006, President Bush got the brilliant idea to push amnesty on the country. His party was wiped out the very next time voters could get to the polls.   Continue reading “Ann Coulter: We Made Donald %#&@ Trump PRESIDENT — What Else Can We Do?”

WEB Notes: It seems their headline is incorrect. The point of the article was to indicate that Caucasian Christians now make up just 43% of the population dropping below 50%. Not that they are the minority religion/race. Regardless, we continue to see Christianity fall in this nation…

What we are witnessing in our nation is a slow death and we also see the same happening in Europe as well. We see it happening to the Christian nations of the world and this is by design. It is a subject we have covered in depth on this site.

Hurricane Harvey was named a “potential” hurricane on August 17, 2017 when its wind speed was just 35 mph. In previous years, hurricanes were not named until they reached 75 mph nearing category 1 hurricane speeds. Over the past twelve years, the number and severity of hurricanes have dropped drastically since Katrina. Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey in 2012 as a category 2 to 3 with a tremendous quantity of rain. Hurricane Harvey hit Houston as a borderline category 4 and quickly dropped to a category 1, but stayed off the coast  for nearly a week drawing moisture from the Gulf and dumping it on Houston and vicinity. Record breaking levels of rain …over four feet. Totally unnatural.   Continue reading “Hurricane Harvey: Manmade Mayhem”

COSTA MESA (CBSLA.com) — A new study finds that protests in California are getting more violent.

Professor Brian Levin says that their research shows that along with a rise in hate crimes in California that is double what is being seen in the rest of country, that violent political confrontations are also increasing.

The director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino told the joint session of the state legislature last week that violent political confrontations are rising in California by nearly double.   Continue reading “Study: Violent Political Confrontations Rising In California”

Healthy eating doesn’t have to taste like healthy eating. Healthy eating can taste like cake. Why not? In the case of these energy balls, we’re talking carrot cake. One of my favorite things on earth.

Apparently all of these carrot cake themed recipes on one blog was not enough for me and I needed to create another. Too many healthy recipes that taste like carrot cake? Never.   Continue reading “Carrot cake energy balls”

Despite progress over the past month, the National Background Investigations Bureau still faces a backlog of approximately 700,000 security clearance seekers, and it’s forcing one department to issue riskier interim clearances, according to top officials.

NBIB Director Charles Phalen, speaking Wednesday at the Intelligence and National Security Summit, said the clearance backlog has decreased in recent weeks after it ballooned in the spring. Of the 700,000 Americans awaiting a security clearance to handle varying levels of sensitive government data, 300,000 are being cleared for the first time and 170,000 seek employment in the military services.   Continue reading “Murderers, Pedophiles Among Applicants Issued Interim Security Clearances, Defense Official Says”

After watching the terrible series of cascading disasters on the Texas Coast after Hurricane Harvey, we know for a fact that the aftermath of a catastrophe can be just as bad (and sometimes worse) than the initial event. There’s a terrifying potential threat in Florida in the form of 3 nuclear plants, two of which are directly in the projected path of Hurricane Irma. Could Florida’s nuclear plants turn Hurricane Irma into the American version of Fukushima?

To be fully prepared for the possibility, people should prepare for the potential of a simultaneous hurricane and nuclear disaster.   Continue reading “Could Hurricane Irma Turn Florida’s Nuclear Plants into an American Fukushima Disaster?”

Is your digital assistant taking orders behind your back? Scientists from China’s Zheijiang University have proved it’s possible, publishing new research that demonstrates how Siri, Alexa, and other voice-activated programs can be controlled using inaudible ultrasound commands. This provides a new method of attack for hackers targeting devices like phones, tablets, and even cars. But don’t get too worried — the technique has a number of key limitations that means it’s unlikely to cause chaos.   Continue reading “Inaudible ultrasound commands can be used to secretly control Siri, Alexa, and Google Now”

The Last American Vagabond – by Joe Martino

Hurricane Harvey has been making headlines all over due to the scale of destruction it has caused in Texas. While covering Harvey for Al Jazeera, reporter Shihab Rattansi told MSNBC host Ali Velshi last week that fossil fuel companies have been robbing locals in the Texas, Louisiana, and Gulf Coast area of infrastructure funds that could have lessened their suffering dramatically.

Shihab says himself that as an “Al Jazeera guy,” his job is to “get to the point.” Al Jazeera has always been known for creating news and media focused on openness, transparency, and calling out corruption — things we don’t often see in North American mainstream media.   Continue reading “MSNBC ‘Loses Connection’ Right As Reporter Exposes Oil Industry For Robbing Locals Of Infrastructure Funding”

Starting next year, France intends to stop giving permits for oil and gas exploration on the mainland and its overseas territories, according to a draft bill unveiled by the cabinet.

The move aims at ending all oil and gas production by 2040 as France wants to meet its carbon neutral goal as part of a broader plan to combat climate change.

The government is not going to renew current drilling licenses. However, some of the existing permits could be extended because of contracts.   Continue reading “France plans oil and gas production ban by 2040”

BANGKOK (AP) — Journalists saw new fires burning Thursday in a Myanmar village that had been abandoned by Rohingya Muslims, and pages ripped from Islamic texts that were left on the ground. That intensifies doubts about government claims that members of the persecuted minority have been destroying their own homes.

About two dozen journalists saw the fires in Gawdu Zara village in northern Rakhine state on a government-controlled trip. Some 164,000 Rohingya from the area have fled across the border in Bangladesh in less than two weeks since Aug. 25, when Rohingya insurgents attacked police outposts in Gawdu Zara and several others, the U.N. refugee agency said Thursday.   Continue reading “New Myanmar fires in empty Rohingya village raise questions”
