Based on the usual jingoistic rhetoric and threats out of Washington at the time of the Sept. 14 drone and missile strikes on Saudi Aramco facilities, it’s clear the major incident which temporarily knocked out Saudi Arabia’s ability to process oil brought the US and Iran to the brink of war.  Continue reading “From “Locked & Loaded” To UN ‘Unable’ To Link Aramco Attacks To Iran: More War Lies Debunked”

Something is causing the waters just off the west coast to heat up dramatically, fish are dying off in staggering numbers, birds that feed on those fish are also dying off rapidly, and scientists have discovered 15,000 holes in the ocean floor off the coast of California. Oh, and scientists don’t know for certain why any of these things are happening. Unfortunately, the mainstream media is not emphasizing this crisis, and so most Americans don’t even know what is going on. But the truth is that what we are facing is extremely serious. In fact, officials have taken the “unprecedented” step of shutting down the federal cod fishery in Alaska for the year because of the lack of fish. We are seeing things happen that we have never seen before, and this is definitely going to affect our food supply.  Continue reading “Strange Things Are Happening In The Waters Along The West Coast, And The Fish Are Starting To Disappear”

Thirty-four Republicans voted December 11 to give amnesty at least one million illegal immigrants and to subsidize farm companies with a wave of cheap visa-workers who will lower wages throughout the farm workforce, which includes at least one million American workers.

The Republicans are mostly from rural districts where the local media is skewed in favor of local farm employers and often ignores the economic interest of local American farmworkers.  Continue reading “Roll Call: The 34 House Republicans Who Voted for Farm Worker Amnesty”

Nearly all House Democrats, plus a group of 34 Republicans, voted Wednesday to approve an amnesty for illegal farmworkers and to outsource more of the nation’s farm workforce to cheap H-2A visa workers.

The bill, H.R. 5038, would likely amnesty more than a million illegal aliens, and it also subsidizes farm companies that hire more H-2A visa workers instead of hiring Americans.  Continue reading “House Approves Farmworker Amnesty, Promotes Visa Workers over Americans”
