The Trump administration is easing environmental regulations and opening up territory for drilling as part of the president’s bid to unleash the “vast energy wealth” of the U.S. Yet Donald Trump’s push to rewrite the North American Free Trade Agreement could have the opposite effect.

As Nafta negotiations resume Friday, oil industry leaders are desperate to preserve the 23-year-old trade deal that drove a North American oil and gas renaissance and paved the way for $34 billion worth of energy exports to Canada and Mexico last year.   Continue reading “Oil Firms That Cheered Regulatory Cuts Are Quaking on Nafta”

Federal land managers are moving forward with a proposed sale of controversial oil and gas leases in Utah’s San Rafael Swell and on the doorstep of Dinosaur National Monument, the agency announced Friday.

The move comes despite misgivings from Uintah County and National Park Service officials, who fear that energy development would detract from Dinosaur’s scenic allure.

Gov. Gary Herbert had asked the BLM to “re-evaluate” three leases bordering the Utah half of Dinosaur. BLM agreed to “defer” two of the leases, but a third is to be sold along with 74 others at the BLM’s quarterly auction to be held online Dec. 11.

The new evidence regarding the U.S.-led international coalition interested in pursuing political interests in Syria instead of fighting ISIS continue to be reported. There are a lot of facts proving the assistance of the U.S. special services to high-ranking ISIS field commanders.

Against the background of the successful steps of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) towards Deir Ezzor and the defeat of ISIS, Washington has started to evacuate its agents for further use in other areas.   Continue reading “U.S. Rescues ISIS Field Commanders”

HONOLULU — Driverless trucks. Factory robots. Delivery drones. Virtual personal assistants.

As technological innovations increasingly edge into the workplace, many people fear that robots and machines are destined to take jobs that human beings have held for decades–a trend that is already happening in stores and factories around the country. For many affected workers, retraining might be out of reach —unavailable, unaffordable or inadequate.   Continue reading “Wary of robots taking jobs, Hawaii toys with guaranteed pay”

Documents leaked to me earlier today seem to suggest that there were cloud seeding operations going on in West Texas on August 24th one day before Hurricane Harvey hit nearly destroying some areas of Texas, flooding whole neighborhoods.   Continue reading “Cloud Seeding Was Used Before Hurricane Harvey, Did It Amplify Its Impact?”

Natural News – by Mike Adams

We’re bringing this claim to your attention because a growing number of observers, websites and analysts are concluding that Hurricane Harvey was “engineered” and made into a “weather weapon” through a combination of ground-based temperature manipulation tools and “chemtrail” seeding.

Yes, it sounds absurd at first, until you realize that Al Gore tells us that human activity controls the climate every day. It’s called “climate change,” and in fact, Al Gore and the climate alarmists directly tell us that we created Hurricane Harvey and all the other “extreme” weather events anyone sees. Weather modification, in other words, has become the de facto belief of climate alarmists. The entire mainstream media routinely insists that hurricanes, droughts, floods, snowstorms and tornadoes are all unintentionally created by human activity.   Continue reading ““Weather wars” theorists claim Hurricane Harvey was engineered, “steered” toward Houston as a “weather terrorism” weapon”

The utter deconstruct of the United States of America is underway. Those American “values” former President Barack Obama and his cadre parroted at us, they’ll soon be lost like tears in rain. Charlottesville, Virginia and the hysterical liberal response to those events, are of a foreboding all Americans should fear.

Everyone with the sense God gave a goose knows that Jeff Bezos’ turned the Washington Post into a wretched rag of a newspaper from the moment he took it over. But and opinion piece entitled “Robert E. Lee is worth remembering. Just don’t honor him” by Richard Cohen is cause to burn the once venerable clarion to the ground. Twenty years ago I’d have made the trip to the WP’s doorstep to ignite the bonfire myself. Cohen’s character assassination of one of America’s most venerated heroes is a pitiful reminder that money is the kindling to all manner of caddish hatred. While I shall not waste one more sentence in description of this misogynist, lying scoundrel of a syndicated columnist. I will however offer to meet him at a time of his choosing on the field of honor, confident in my own ability with whatever weapons he chooses. What a piece of work this man is.   Continue reading “America’s Final Fatal Destiny: Dishonoring Robert E. Lee”

Israeli authorities are increasingly monitoring Palestinian social media traffic in order to identify potential threats. Recently, over 400 Palestinians have been pre-emptively arrested due to their online activity, and Facebook have approved 158 requests to remove content submitted by Palestinians on the site.

The Israeli internal security service Shin Bet (roughly equivalent to the FBI or MI5) have been using software which analyses key words combined with semantic patterns in order to flag and rank potential threats to the Israeli state.   Continue reading “Israel uses social media crawler to detain 400 Palestinians without charge.”
