Pineapple is a tasty fruit, typically enjoyed during the summertime and for its sweet, tropical flavor. However, the goodness of pineapple extends well beyond its taste, as it offers several health benefits worth exploring.

The fact that it’s listed on the World’s Healthiest Foods website says a great deal, and there, it’s noted as a way to improve overall health ranging from improving digestion to boosting the immune system. (1) At the center of its ability to bolster health is an enzyme called bromelain, which is responsible for reducing inflammation just as effectively as prescribed or over-the-counter drugs, minus the possible negative health consequences. (2) Continue reading “Health benefits of pineapple include everything from tumor reduction to digestive improvements”

Electronic cigarettes, nicknamed “e-cigs,” are devices that are available in over 3,000 American retail outlets and all over the internet. They cost anywhere between $10 and $75, depending on the type and brand, and sales have skyrocketed in the past year, exceeding $100 million. Smokers all over the world have new “bragging rights” when they switch over from regular cigarettes to e-cigs, claiming that they’re ingesting far less chemicals and polluting the environment much less all the while. While this is true, they may all be surprised to find out, from new research, that they’ve actually increased their “consumption” of some heavy metal toxins, like lead — at up to four times the amount, plus add in some nickel, zinc and chromium, thanks to the cartridge. On top of that, chromium doesn’t even exist in secondhand cigarette smoke, so there’s a new toxic factor to consider with e-cigs.   Continue reading “Secondhand smoke from e-cigs is less unhealthy than traditional cigs but still contains toxic heavy metals”

Most everyone in America knows the media are corrupt, but despite all of our collective disdain and distrust Chanel 208 One America News has offered up what is self-touted to be “honest” news.

It got me to thinking… …Never a good thing. For instance, is One America News Network going to keep accurate, detailed Wall Street Charts with numerical values of billions in dollars owed by Raytheon, Lockheed and Boeing as recompense to widows and orphans from hospitals bombed by defective smart bombs? Better yet, accurate Wall Street accountings of dollars owed for loss of life globally from Wall Street/NATO pollution. Or is One America News just another Wall Street/NATO shill journalism gig?   Continue reading “Longest Menage a Trois in American History: Government-Corporate-Media”

At a time when the Oval Office was renamed the Oral Office, and cigars became a favourite past time of presidents and kinksters alike, the leader of the free world was at the mercy of Israel’s impressive blackmail machine.

A powerful new book released at the end of July has brought to light how racy phone sex conversations between Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky were wiretapped circa 1997-98, and used as a blackmail against the White House by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.    Continue reading “The Israeli Blackmail Machine: The Clintons Weren’t the Only Ones”

Despite being one of the poorest nations in the world, Afghanistan may be sitting on one of the richest troves of minerals in the world, valued at nearly $1 trillion, according to U.S. scientists.

Afghanistan, a country nearly the size of Texas, is loaded with minerals deposited by the violent collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began inspecting what mineral resources Afghanistan had after U.S.-led forces drove the Taliban from power in the country in 2004. As it turns out, the Afghanistan Geological Survey staff had kept Soviet geological maps and reports up to 50 years old or more that hinted at a geological gold mine.   Continue reading “$1 Trillion Trove of Rare Minerals Revealed Under Afghanistan”

A Minneapolis city council member is demanding answers, asking why the council was kept in the dark regarding recent military helicopter training exercises conducted in the skies over downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul a few weeks ago.

The training went on for four nights in both downtowns, scaring and angering more than a few neighbors. The helicopters came without warning, and under cover of darkness.   Continue reading “Minneapolis City Council Member Demands Answers about Military Helicopter Training”

Say hello to the next financial crisis, brought to you courtesy of the dumbest new bill of the week: H.R. 5148: Access to Affordable Mortgages Act.

Ordinarily whenever an individual wants to borrow money for a mortgage, the bank conducts due diligence… both on the borrower as well as the property.

It’s in the banks’ interest (as well as the banks’ depositors) to ensure that the property is at least worth as much as the amount being borrowed. Duh.   Continue reading “New bill: Congress engineering yet another financial crisis”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A commercial aircraft chartered by the U.S.-led military coalition in Afghanistan for a flight to the Persian Gulf city of Dubai was re-routed to Iran on Friday, apparently because of a mix-up over its flight plan, U.S. officials said.

The plane was flying from Bagram airfield north of Kabul to Dubai. The normal flight path goes through Iranian airspace.   Continue reading “AP sources: Plane lands in Iran amid mix-up”

Breitbart – by Tony Lee

In a remarkable admission on Wednesday, the Obama administration’s Department of Justice argued that granting a Constitutional “right” for illegal immigrant juveniles to have lawyers would make the border “completely open” for foreigners under 18 and attract even more illegal immigrants that the country can in no way handle.

Arguing before U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly in Seattle, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Leon Fresco, according to Politico, said that “a preliminary injunction which says that there is a constitutional right to counsel would mean — without an appropriation from Congress, which I believe is unlikely — that you could not remove any child under the age of 18 years old from the United States.” He said that would mean the “border is completely open for children under 18.”    Continue reading “DOJ Argues Against ‘Right’ to Lawyers for Illegals”

There were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in the US in March 2013, including some 2.6 million living in California ‒ which makes up 10 percent of the state’s workforce, according to two new studies released Wednesday.

Oops.

The supposed differences between the Syrian rebels (which our government says are the “good guys”) and ISIS (the “bad guys”) are becoming so hard to differentiate these days, that apparently even our government’s most stalwart supporters of war can’t keep their lies straight when the cameras are rolling.

I’ve written multiple articles (here, here, and here) on the fact that good ‘ol Uncle Sam in the form of the Obama Administration has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to ISIS, the terrorist enemy in Iraq and Syria that our government also helped train which has apparently gotten so bad now, the government just has to start airstriking Syria (in addition to the strikes already taking place in Iraq) to stop them.   Continue reading “Even Senator McCain ‘Accidentally’ Refers to the Syrian Rebels as ‘ISIS’”
