DHS wants to control our food supply, this sounds like a ‘fake news’ story but unfortunately it’s all too real.
Last year, DHS gave the National Agricultural Biosecurity Center (NABC) $331,118 to develop the ‘National Livestock Readiness Program‘. Continue reading “DHS creates the ‘National Livestock Readiness Program’ to control our food supply”
LEADING scientists are frantically working to develop a vaccine for the PLAGUE amid fears terrorists could kill millions if they weaponized the deadly bacteria.
The Medieval disease famously wiped out one third of Europe’s population in the 13th and 14th centuries in one of the most devastating pandemics in human history now known as the Black Death. Continue reading “Scientists race to develop vaccine for the PLAGUE amid fears terrorists could use the Medieval disease to kill millions”
WEB Notes: Israel is being blamed for this arial bombardment though they have not admitted to it. This would be of no surprise as Israel has repeatedly attacked Syria during the last several years alone. In addition, a terrorist attack also took place in Damascus.
WEB Notes: This has been a hugely under reported story. However, this is yet another place where the US continues to support terrorism in the name of “freedom”. It is far past time we wake up from that lie that is destroying so many. As our Father’s Word says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” (Hosea 4:6).

The Second Circuit US Court of Appeals upheld the government’s confiscation of James B. Ferrari’s Ferrari in a ruling last week. Officials in Suffolk County, New York had grabbed the 2003 Ferrari Modena coupe, valued at $95,000, after Ferrari was stopped and accused of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) on May 26, 2009.

Web ads are a major component of online marketing. Google is probably the biggest conduit of digital ads, and that makes it tough when a small company runs afoul of the giant’s standards.
One of those standards is the demand websites not place Google-served ads on the same page as “inappropriate” content. It’s reasonable, as advertisers often insist that their promotions don’t appear in such contexts. What isn’t reasonable, though, is how often Google will label something as inappropriate when the call seems wildly overreaching. Such popular and long-standing sites as Fark.com, BoingBoing, and Skepchick have found themselves suddenly without ad revenue — or a clear way to rectify what ultimately turned out to be a mistake on the part of Google. Continue reading “You Won’t Believe the Reason Google Pulled Ads from these Big Sites”
Originally launched as a tool of trench combat during World War I, tear gas has been used around the world over the past century to enforce colonial rule, quell popular protests and aid in ethnic cleansing of civilians. This “riot control agent” was banned as a “method of war” by the Chemical Weapons Convention, an arms control treaty that went into effect in 1997 and now binds nearly 200 countries (although numerous states are in violation). Yet in prisons and jails across the United States, far from any conventional battlefield or public scrutiny, tear gas and other chemical weapons are routinely used against people held captive in enclosed spaces, including solitary confinement.

Following the American Civil War, if someone called you a carpetbagger or scalawag, it wasn’t meant as a compliment. The term carpetbagger was used by opponents of Reconstruction—the period from 1865 to 1877 when the Southern states that seceded were reorganized as part of the Union—to describe Northerners who moved to the South after the war, supposedly in an effort to get rich or acquire political power. A carpetbagger was portrayed as a lower-class schemer with little education who could carry everything he owned in a cheap carpet bag. Continue reading “What’s the difference between a carpetbagger and a scalawag?”

An armed passing motorist was credited with saving the life of an Arizona state trooper by shooting and killing a gunman who ambushed the trooper in the middle of a lonely interstate highway before dawn Thursday.
“I would just say at this point, thank you, because I don’t know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance,” Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said after he met with the seriously injured trooper at the hospital.

How do you survive a flood, mudslides, avalanches, power outages, and gale force winds? What about sinkholes and buckling roads?
You’re going to be so disappointed when I tell you the secret.
Because it’s not dramatic. No firearms, carabiners, or specialized equipment were used. I didn’t need to consult my beloved SAS survival manual even once. If it were a movie, you’d fall asleep within 15 minutes. Continue reading “An Unsexy Survival Plan for California’s Epic Floods, Avalanches, and Mudslides”
