After months of stores dropping her line, a mass viral movement called #GrabYourWallet that encouraged people to boycott her line and a rather horrific report on the conditions at a Chinese factory where her line is manufactured, Ivanka Trump’s eponymous label has chosen to open up a stand-alone store in the most predictable place possible.

No, it’s not at the visitor’s entrance of the White House. It’s in Trump Tower.

On Wednesday, Politico reporter Annie Karni tweeted out a picture of a currently-under-construction Ivanka Trump stand-alone shop in Trump Tower, with an announcement that it would be opening this fall.   Continue reading “Ivanka Trump is opening a stand-alone store in NYC this fall”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently and quietly approved Monsanto’s new genetic engineering technology, known as RNAi. [1]

The insecticide DvSnf7 dsRNA is not sprayed on crops. Instead, instructions for manufacturing it in the DNA of the crop itself must be encoded in crops. The plants’ self-made DvSnf7 dsRNA disrupts a crucial gene in western corn rootworms – a major threat to corn – and kills the pests.   Continue reading “In Case You Missed It: EPA Quietly Approved Monsanto’s RNAi Genetic Engineering Technology”

As the global energy paradigm is undergoing the next great transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, a new report shows that fossil fuels continue to be propped up by governments with staggering amounts of subsidies.

A study published in the World Development journal, by researchers from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), found that fossil fuel subsidies amounted to $5.3 trillion dollars in 2015, rising from $4.9 trillion in 2013. This amounts to 6.5 percent of global GDP.   Continue reading “Damning Study Shows Govts Rob Taxpayers $5 Trillion a Year to Keep Fossil Fuel Industry Going”

After years of threatening to carry out a nuclear attack on the United States, North Korea is finally closer than it has ever been to fulfilling its notorious threat—according to politicians and mainstream media outlets across the country. But according to one geopolitical analyst, Americans should be more concerned about the possibility of a false flag attack.

In a report for Asia Times, analyst Pepe Escobar noted that the same people who are now saying that North Korea has created a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of fitting its recently tested ICBM are the people who sold the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.   Continue reading “Top Geopolitical Expert Issues Dire Warning: ‘Beware of False Flag’ Blamed on North Korea”

Activist Post – by Catherine Frompovich

Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Blue Care Network of Michigan publishes online a shameless and bold report of how much cash they reward physicians for performing certain tests, and which apparently acts as an incentive to over-prescribe, thus inflating the costs of U.S. healthcare, which should be illegal.

Blue Cross/Blue Shield published the 2016 Performance Recognition Program, a 28-page report indicating how medical insurance companies actually increase the costs of healthcare!   Continue reading “The Unknown Reasons Doctors Push Vaccines”

The Steampunk Workshop – by Jake Von Slatt

In a few short months The Steampunk Workshop will celebrate it’s 10th birthday! I can barely believe that it’s been ten whole years since this whole “steampunk” thing blew up on the internets. It’s been a lot of fun for me, but I also feel like we’re approaching the end of an era. So, I have decide to glue a gear on it and declare this Jake von Slatt’s Last Steampunk Project!

Now, that is not to say that I will never do another project in a steampunk style; but this is the last project I plan to do where I take something and attempt to steampunkify(TM) it. So perhaps I should say this is my last steampunk mod.   Continue reading “The Steampunk Roadster”

Every day, more than 10 Americans suffer amputations on what is by far the most dangerous woodworking tool: the table saw. Regulators in Washington, D.C., are moving closer to adopting a rule that would make new saws so much safer that they could prevent 99 percent of serious accidents.

But even after more than a decade of study, and the existence of a proven technology that all sides agree works astoundingly well to prevent injuries, it’s unclear whether the Consumer Product Safety Commission will finally pass a rule requiring all new saws to have an active injury prevention monitoring system built into them.  Continue reading “Despite Proven Technology, Attempts To Make Table Saws Safer Drag On”

PHOENIX (KSAZ) – As threat of a nuclear war with North Korea continues to increase, some people in the Valley are already preparing for nuclear attack, with some local surplus stores saying customers have been asking for things like gas masks and radiation detectors.

“15 minutes to total destruction,” said Warren Jones, General Manager of the  U.S. Surplus Corporation, referring to how much time experts say people have to take cover, once a nuclear weapon is launched in your direction.  Continue reading “Surplus stores seeing increased business, as nuclear war threat looms”

Tickle the Wire – by Allan Lengel

During his colorful career with ATF, which spanned more than three decades, James Cavanaugh found himself in the thick of some of nation’s biggest cases: The D.C. sniper murders, the Unabomber, white supremacist Eric Rudolph, church burnings and the deadly shootout at the Branch Davidian in Waco, Tex. involving leader David Koresh.

“Ninety-nine percent of him thought he was David Koresh, but the 1 percent of him really knew he was Vernon Wayne Howell, just a two-bit thug from the country in Texas,” said Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the ATF Nashville office, commenting on Koresh during a lengthy interview in October 2009 with ticklethewire.com. He was one of the negotiators during the standoff.  Continue reading ““One of a Kind” James Cavanaugh –Head of ATF’s Nashville Office — Retires”
