ST. LOUIS (Reuters) – Hundreds of protesters poured into St. Louis’ streets and some scuffles broke out as they voiced their anger after a Missouri judge on Friday ruled a white former St. Louis police officer was not guilty of murder in the 2011 shooting of a black man.
With the National Guard on standby in case of violence, authorities appealed to protesters to march peacefully in a state where racially charged clashes in the nearby city of Ferguson spawned the Black Lives Matter movement in 2014.

Natural disasters such as hurricanes leave behind warm water that can be riddled with diseases and infections for people left to deal with the aftermath of the storm.
One of these infections could be brain-eating amoebas that are known to thrive in warm pools in the southeastern parts of the United States.
The crippling organisms are rare, but they enter through the nasal passages and into the brain. Continue reading “Brain-eating amoeba could infest Florida after Hurricane Irma”

Since the beginning of time the earth has cooled and warmed. It’s part of the deal while living on this planet, whether the warming or cooling is being pushed faster into the next phase is a matter of which side of the argument you’re on. But, let’s just say for shits and giggles our government wants us to believe that whatever side they’re propagandist specialist are trying to spin, one thing is for sure, they want us to hate carbon dioxide.
A mega-rich CEO wants to fly Europe to America and he’s got his Gulfstream G-V sitting in the hangar, he wants to get to where he’s going fast, no delays. What gives him the right to make that trip with a C02 spewing private jet, especially when there are 30 or 40 flights a day flying from Europe to the United States? This is where all of the BS starts to come to fruition, the big guy with the big cash can do whatever the hell he wants, while countries like Canada are now saying that they are going to investigate climate change deniers. Continue reading “Climate Change is for Real? – They’re talking about Investigating the Deniers? Get rid of the Private jets!”

It’s like something out of George Orwell’s 1984.
Canada’s Competition Bureau, an arm’s length agency funded by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to the tune of almost $50 million annually, investigated three organizations accused of denying mainstream climate science for over a year, following a complaint from an environmental group.
The bureau discontinued its 14-month probe in June, citing “available evidence, the assessment of the facts in this case, and to ensure the effective allocation of limited resources”, according to Josephine A.L. Palumbo, Deputy Commissioner of Competition, Deceptive Marketing Practices Directorate. Continue reading “Canada now investigates ‘climate denial’”
Universities known for being hotbeds of campus protest and liberal activism are struggling with declining enrollments and budget shortfalls, and higher education analysts say that’s no coincidence.
Take Oberlin College. According to a document leaked to The Oberlin Review, the school’s student newspaper, the small liberal arts college famous for social justice hoaxes has had trouble attracting and retaining students, missing this year’s enrollment mark by 80 and racking up a $5 million budget deficit in the process. Continue reading “Enrollments, budgets fall short at universities known for ‘social justice warfare’”

Researchers in Denmark believe that we should add lithium to drinking water because studies show it may reduce dementia.
You simply can’t make this up. Adding fluoride, a neurotoxin, according to The Lancet medical journal, to our water isn’t enough.
The BBC reported that a study, at the University of Copenhagen, looked at the medical records of 73,731 Danish people with dementia and 733,653 without the mental disease. Continue reading “BBC Promotes Putting Lithium In Drinking Water To Combat Dementia”

Is there something so “in our faces” going on that we don’t recognize it for what it is, plus apparent calculated and long-range motives? What I’m talking about is the ubiquitous presence of aluminum, aka aluminium.
Aluminum is number 13 on the Periodic Table of Elements and makes up about 8 percent of the Earth’s crust, the only place where it truly belongs. Furthermore, it is not as inert as consensus science in various sciences, especially pharmacology and medicine, would like us to believe. More and more, medical research is pointing to its implication in central nervous system damage and diseases affecting the brain such as Dementia, Alzheimer’s and Autism. Biochemically, aluminum is known as a neurotoxin, which does not belong in the human body, but is finding its way there from various innovative sources and applications humans should be questioning extremely closely, in my opinion. Continue reading “The Role Of Aluminum In Changing Human Biology To Accept The Ionized Atmosphere We Live In: Part 1 Vaccines”

When a big advertiser pulls its online adverts and its sales remain unchanged, that tells everyone who’s paying attention something important.
It’s an article of widespread faith that data-mining enables advertisers buying online adverts to target consumers with laser-like precision. Vast warehouses of servers grind through billions of records of consumer profiles and transactions and with a bit of algorithmic magic, distill all this data down to the prime target audience for whatever good or service you’re selling: probiotic goo, battery-powered back-scratchers, Zombiestra(tm), investment newsletters based on darts tossed by monkeys, etc. Continue reading “Hey Advertisers: The Data-Mining Emperor Has No Clothes”
‘Temporary’ State of Emergency Seems Increasingly Permanent
President Trump has become the third president over the course of 16 consecutive years to extend the “temporary state of national emergency” which was imposed in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks.
The state of emergency gives the president considerable leeway to bypass legal limits surrounding the military and the use of the National Guard and reserve troops. Exactly how much this power is used is itself unclear, as presidents have for years ignored a legal requirement to offer reports to Congress every six months on the matter.

An independent judiciary helps protect us from tyranny. But it works better when judges take their jobs seriously, unlike recently retired federal appeals court Judge Richard Posner:
“I pay very little attention to legal rules, statutes, constitutional provisions,” Posner told the New York Times in an interview published Monday. …
