A series of suspected “pipe bombs” sent to prominent US Democrats and the news outlet CNN appears to be desperate political stunt staged by Democrats to gain sympathy before the midterm elections, American academic and political commentator James Henry Fetzer says.

Fetzer made the remarks in an email interview with Press TV on Thursday when asked whether the killing of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Republican President Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric have any links with the suspected bombs allegedly sent to Democrats.   Continue reading “‘Pipe bombs’ a political stunt staged by Democrats before midterm elections: Scholar”

Once, people who warned that the world was entering a time when all citizens would be microchipped, tracked, and traced were laughed at, mocked, and labeled religious fundamentalists, or crazy conspiracy theorists. Such a world would never take shape we were told and the people warning of it were paranoid and delusional. Fast forward a decade and the people who warn about human microchipping are still maligned as conspiracy theorists but the microchipping is most certainly taking place.  Continue reading “Thousands Are VOLUNTEERING to Be MICROCHIPPED in Sweden: Can the Rest of the World Be Far Behind?”

A jury will decide whether a Fresno police officer used excessive force when he shot and killed a 45-year-old father of five, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

Officer Trevor Shipman shot Casimero Casillas in September 2015 after he fled from a traffic stop. Police chased Casillas after attempting to pull him over because a passenger in his car wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Shipman claims he feared for his life because Casillas menaced him with a 2-foot-long metal pipe.   Continue reading “Jury to Decide Traffic Violation Shooting Case”

Henry Makow, a PhD. who writes for several Internet news and opinion websites, has provided invaluable insight focusing on political alliances that control the United States as well as the entire world. An unholy tripartite threatens the individual freedom of all people, as well as the peace of the entire world, desiring the establishment of a New World Order controlled by one global government. It consists of these three entities: Zionism, communism and the international banking cartel. And as regards this unholy trio’s control of all politics, remember FDR’s observation that nothing in politics happens without being planned.   Continue reading “The Zionist Connection – An Unholy Tripartite”

Americans over 50 are worse than younger people at telling facts from opinions, according to a new study by Pew Research Center.

Given 10 statements, five each of fact and opinion, younger Americans correctly identified both the facts and the opinions at higher rates than older Americans did. Forty-four percent of younger people identified all five opinions as opinions, while only 26 percent of older people did. And 18-to-29-year-olds performed more than twice as well as the 65+ set. Of the latter group, only 17 percent classified all five facts as factual statements.   Continue reading “Older People Are Worse Than Young People at Telling Fact from Opinion”

Growing thousands a day, well fed, well watered and undoubtedly not far away from a gun. What is troubling is that the faces are changing daily; we have gone from faces of families to faces of young men, obviously looking for trouble. I’m having a hell of a time reconciling how Trump hasn’t acted on all of this. As far as I know, not one soldier has been put on the border, at least to show some kind of show of force, not one over-flight of our trillion dollar Air Force on or around the border whatsoever.   Continue reading “Enemy Column Still 1100 Miles Away – 25 Days from Texas Border”

NEW ORLEANS — An oil spill that has been quietly leaking millions of barrels into the Gulf of Mexico has gone unplugged for so long that it now verges on becoming one of the worst offshore disasters in U.S. history.

Between 300 and 700 barrels of oil per day have been spewing from a site 12 miles off the Louisiana coast since 2004, when an oil-production platform owned by Taylor Energy sank in a mudslide triggered by Hurricane Ivan. Many of the wells have not been capped, and federal officials estimate that the spill could continue through this century. With no fix in sight, the Taylor offshore spill is threatening to overtake BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster as the largest ever.
