Not all Italian farmers welcome a European court ruling this week allowing growers to cultivate genetically-modified corn in Italy. Some farmers told RT that the majority reject GM seeds and question the EU interfering in national laws.

The European Court of Justice on Wednesday ruled in favor of Giorgio Fidenato, an Italian activist farmer who faces fines for growing genetically-modified maize MON 810 on his land in 2014, despite a 2013 government decree banning its cultivation.   Continue reading “‘GM seed choice shouldn’t be dictated’: Italian farmers question EU court ruling on Monsanto corn”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is on track to pass a defense policy bill that pumps $700 billion into the Pentagon budget, expands U.S. missile defenses in response to North Korea’s growing hostility and refuses to allow excess military bases to be closed.

The legislation is expected to be approved on Monday by a wide margin in another burst of bipartisanship amid President Donald Trump’s push for cooperation with congressional Democrats. The 1,215-page measure defies a number of White House objections, but Trump hasn’t threatened to veto the measure. The bill helps him honor a pledge to boost military spending by tens of billions of dollars.   Continue reading “Senate on track to pass $700 billion defense policy bill”

The U.S. Navy dismissed two senior officers, an admiral and a captain, on Monday after a series of collisions involving Seventh Fleet warships in Asia, citing a loss of confidence in their ability to command.

Rear Admiral Charles Williams, commander of Task Force 70, and Captain Jeffrey Bennett, commander of Destroyer Squadron 15, were fired by Seventh Fleet commander Vice Admiral Phil Sawyer, the Navy said.

Hurricane Maria became a Category 3 storm Monday as it continued to churn toward the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean, a path forecasters said was likely to threaten Puerto Rico – perhaps becoming the worst storm to hit the island since 1928.

Maria strengthened into a hurricane Sunday, and forecasters said it was expected to become much stronger during the coming hours, following a path that would take it extremely close to many of the islands already ravaged by Hurricane Irma.  Continue reading “Hurricane Maria Expected to Become ‘Major’ Storm, Nears Caribbean Still Cleaning up From Irma”

Talk about a nightmare.  It is being reported that criminals were able to hack into Equifax and make off with the credit information of 143 million Americans.  We are talking about names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses and even driver’s license numbers.  If this data breach was an earthquake, we would be talking about a magnitude-10.0 on the identity theft scale.  We have never seen anything like this before, and to say that this will be “disastrous” for the credit industry would be a massive understatement.

What really disturbed me about this story is that this hack reportedly occurred between “mid-May and July of this year”…   Continue reading “The Equifax Hack Is The Most Disastrous Data Breach In History Because Now Hackers Have The Credit Information Of 143 Million Americans”

Hungary has slashed illegal immigration by over 99 per cent after rolling out a series of powerful border fences in response to the European migrant crisis, possibly providing a lesson as to the potential impact of constructing President Trump’s much-discussed southern wall in the U.S.

Speaking on the second anniversary of the government’s move to seal Hungary’s border with Serbia — which is also an external border for the European Union — Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Chief Security Advisor, György Bakondi, announced that the fences have caused illegal immigration to collapse from 391,000 in 2015, to 18,236 in 2016, to just 1,184 in 2017.   Continue reading “Hungary Builds a Wall, Cuts Illegal Immigration by Over 99 Per Cent”

The death of free speech is imminent.  Anyone with access to a computer and the internet can see that the United States mainstream media is nothing more than a propaganda machine designed to brainwash the masses into a lemming-like agreement with the government.

And now, it’s oh-so-ironic that the same government that tells the media what to report on in order brainwash the public is seeking to quiet those who disagree and label them as “propaganda.”  Some may call it fake news, others just want a different opinion rather than the left-leaning media hysteria we are accustomed to.  But now, media outlet RT (Russia Today), founded in Russia will have to register with the United States as “foreign media;” which will forever give it the inaccurate title of “propaganda.”   Continue reading “The Death Of Free Speech Is Imminent: Government Begins Censorship Of Media Through Disingenuous Means”

Let’s put everything into perspective here, right hates the left, left hates the right, one thing is for sure; it divides us. The word hate is being thrown around in a way that SEGREGATES us. If you don’t like Illegal aliens, transvestites, pedophiles, anti-gun nuts, stupid lives matter movements, geo-engineering weather nuts, you are a hater. If you have a government job and fight against any of the above, you are fired, tarred & feathered, blacklisted. Meet the new segregation of the 21st century. If you have a website and want a decent income, better not lean too far because the Jewish controlled media will slap you into the no income zone. Just saying what I just said, makes me a hater. Meet the new 21st segregation.   Continue reading “Hate -The New goto Word – Redefining Segregation”
