In a televised interview with ABC’s Mike Wallace in 1958, author of the seminal classic Brave New World, Aldous Huxley laid out his rather grim vision for the future of the human race in a prescient and timeless warning for us to wake up. After having lived through the bloodbaths of World War I and II and in the early stages of the nuclear cold war, he discussed the problems of freedom and survival in America, making a number of predictions more relevant today, nearly 60 years later, than ever before.

This is a crime that could sink Hillary—I mean it.
No. It couldn’t be. It’s unbelievable. It’s too insane. Nobody could get away with a crime like this.
But it’s true. And the Clintons have gotten away with it.
She’s staggering toward her goal, the US Presidency. Continue reading “The Clintons: how Putin grabbed a fifth of all US uranium”
Maine Gov. Paul LePage is still supporting Donald Trump because he wants him to “show some authoritarian power.”
LePage, who is known for his controversial comments, told a Maine radio station that the country needed Trump to take back the reins from what he described as “anarchy” under President Obama. Continue reading “LePage: We need Trump to show ‘authoritarian power’”

Birmingham, AL — In May 2015, officer Daniel Aguirre was given a Combat Cross Medal after he said in a police report that he successfully fended off a struggle in which he and his partner were in danger. However, someone on the inside leaked Dashcam footage showing Aquirre shooting a man in the back as he lay prostrate on his hands and knees. Still, Birmingham police charged their victim, Aubrey Williams, with attempted murder.
But, last week, after spending more than a year in jail for a crime he never committed, the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office finally showed a semblance of logic and dropped the charges against Williams.

Wikileaks has arguably been the most important thing that has happened to elections, if not the veneer of democracy, in quite a long time. We’ve been able to see the true side of politicians and bureaucrats like never before.
In Hillary Clinton, we see a figure beholden to Wall St., working diligently to advance the influence of financial corporations over government policy and taxpayer money. Her mega-donor list is a who’s who of megabanks that also happened to benefit from the TARP government bailout.

Bayer’s chief said the company is not planning to take advantage of its own good reputation to forcefully introduce genetically modified crops to Europe against its inhabitants’ will after it took over of US seed and pesticide manufacturer Monsanto.
“We aren’t taking over Monsanto to establish genetically modified plants in Europe,” Bayer’s chief executive Werner Baumann told the Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper on Monday. Continue reading “Bayer vows not to use reputation to impose Monsanto’s GM crops on Europe”
Samsung is ending the production and sale of its troubled Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. The company has urged customers to switch off their Note 7s and return them for refunds.
Stock of the South Korean technology giant plunged over eight percent at the close of trade in Seoul, washing billions off its value. The recall of the handset may cost the company as much as $17 billion, which is what Samsung expected to earn during its product cycle. Continue reading “Samsung ends Note 7 production, may kill off entire line”
Hundreds of police departments in two states were found to have broken laws mandating police reports for in-custody deaths. Registries required by California and Texas were missing a total of 660 deaths from 2005 to 2015.
They are the only two states that require law enforcement to report all in-custody deaths, but it seems enforcing the law is trickier than anyone imagined. Research from Texas State University in San Marco found that the two states did not report hundreds of deaths that involved officers during a 10-year period. Continue reading “Police in California, Texas fail to report 660 officer-involved deaths”
RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — Two weeks shy of his first birthday, doctors began feeding Jose Wesley Campos through a nose tube because swallowing problems had left him dangerously underweight. Learning how to feed is the baby’s latest struggle as medical problems mount for him and many other infants born with small heads to mothers infected with the Zika virus in Brazil.
“It hurts me to see him like this. I didn’t want this for him,” said Jose’s mother, Solange Ferreira, breaking into tears as she cradled her son. A year after a spike in the number of newborns with the defect known as microcephaly, doctors and researchers have seen many of the babies develop swallowing difficulties, epileptic seizures and vision and hearing problems.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Construction on the four-state Dakota Access pipeline will resume on private land in North Dakota that’s near a camp where thousands of protesters supporting tribal rights have gathered for months, the company building it said Tuesday.
In turn, protesters said they’re discussing nonviolent opposition measures, including chaining themselves to equipment. Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ statement follows Sunday’s federal appeals court ruling that allowed construction to resume within 20 miles of Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir that is the water supply for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation. The $3.8 million, 1,200-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois is otherwise largely complete. Continue reading “Dakota Access pipeline work to resume near large protest”

Mexico had a flourishing, legal, gun culture until 1972, when the Mexican government made private, legal, ownership of guns extremely difficult and expensive. The change in law was meant to disarm the political opposition and keep the existing power structure in place. The power structure has remained in place, but it has not flourished. Much of Mexico is contested ground, with narco-cartels that are not aligned with the Mexican government in armed conflict with the Government and its cartel allies. Private citizens are caught in the crossfire, abused by both sides, and denied the legal ability to arm themselves. Continue reading “Mexico Looking at Second Amendment?”

At first blush, it’s one of the most startling statistics about the U.S. labor market: Over 94 million Americans over the age of 15 do not have a job and are not looking for work. Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly highlighted the statistic and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has hailed it as a sign of economic decline.
But here’s the challenge with touting that figure as “too high” or promising to reverse it: The number of Americans outside the labor force is almost certain to climb dramatically in coming decades for the simple reason that the population is getting both larger and older. Continue reading “Over 94 Million Americans Are Outside the Labor Force and That’s Almost Certain to Rise”

Hillary Clinton encouraged supporters Monday to follow and stage an intervention for a protester who was removed by security after he interrupted her rally in Detroit.
“You know,” Clinton said after the demonstrator was forcibly removed from her campaign event, “I do hope somebody follows that gentleman out and stages an intervention.”
The demonstrator, an African-American man, was wearing a shirt featuring a likeness of Bill Clinton with the word “RAPE” printed across the front. Continue reading “Clinton suggests intervention for protester wearing Bill Clinton ‘rape’ shirt”
The United States could be implicated in war crimes for supporting Saudi Arabia’s deadly military campaign in Yemen, American official documents show.
According to the documents obtained by Reuters, US government lawyers warned Washington last year that it might be considered a “co-belligerent” in the Saudi war under international law.

The “personal insult” should really be from those critical thinking hard-working African-Americans who believed in this man, only to be disappointed and betrayed for the last 8-years, and by his delusional attempt to somehow link his dismal performance as president, with the current plight taking place within the inner cities of America, including the daily carnage in Obama’s hometown of Chicago.
Moreover, one can only be amazed at the sheer audacity of Obama’s unbridled ego, in his delusional attempt to link his own lackluster legacy with that of perhaps the most corrupt politician within modern American history.

WEB Notes: Russia and Turkey, Putin and Erdogan are pictured both sitting together discussing the Syrian situation calling for peace in Syria. Meanwhile, Russia once again deploys their fighter jets to drop more bombs on Syria. Just as we have seen for the last two years. They call for calm and then drop the bombs. Another take away I want you to notice is Putin and Erdogan sitting together. It was months ago you were told by the media of all shapes and sizes both of these nations were going to go to war and NATO would be involved. It once again was suppose to be a nuclear war and now they sit together calling for peace. Before you swallow the hook of the media, ensure it lines up with your Father’s Letter.
