Planetary PanoramaSlate – by Phil Plait

If I have but one complaint when I go outside to soak in the splendor of the heavens at night, it’s that I can only see one small part of the sky at once.

This is not the fault of geography, trees, or buildings blocking my view. It’s evolution. Or specifically, the result of endless random mutations guided by environmental pressures that have placed both our eyes in the front of our head, limiting our view.

Nine Syrian military targets have been hit by Israeli jets and guided missiles, the IDF says, claiming it was a decisive response to a series of cross-border shootings to protect the citizens of Israel.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, “at least 10 members of the Syrian army were killed,” Reuters reported.   Continue reading “Israel strikes 9 military targets in Syria”

222My Patriot Supply – by Matt Redhawk

Yesterday I had a  real life survival situation I wanted to share with you. I definitely took lessons away from this experience and hope by sharing my little adventure that perhaps you will, as well.

I live in the mountains of northern Idaho in my off-grid home with my family. For some time I’ve been meaning to take my ATV out and explore some of the hundreds of miles of trails on the State and Federal land that border my property to the north. I knew I could reach these trails from my land, but first I needed to clear some fallen trees from the rather precarious path that starts near my solar panel array and takes a rather steep and windy climb up the mountain.    Continue reading “CEO of My Patriot Supply Finds Himself In Real Life Survival Scenario”

Gun control activists have recently renewed their efforts to gain ground on Capitol Hill.  As we reported this week, they continue to exploit high-profile national tragedies in an attempt to push their anti-gun agenda. They use grieving victims to falsely claim that enacting their “reforms” would have prevented these tragedies.  Anti-gun groups sponsored by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg are trying to convince Congress to enact their proposals.  And as we saw this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wants to help them do just that.   Continue reading “Harry Reid May Call For Vote On Gun Control Legislation: Says, “We Need Some More Votes””

Three people involved with defacing a Scottish mosque by wrapping strips of bacon around its door handles have been sent to jail.

18-year-old Chelsea Lambie and 39-year-old Douglas Cruikshank were sentenced to one year in prison and nine months in prison, respectively, for their involving in the insensitive act that took place on January 31 of last year. A third person, Wayne Stilwel, was sentenced to 10 months in jail last August after pleading guilty.    Continue reading “Three People In Jail For Wrapping Bacon Around Door Knobs At Mosque”

We are sure this will end well. Just as China took the ‘if we build it (on free credit), they will come’ growth model to extremes in real estate; it appears their ambitions in nuclear energy production are just as grandiose. However, just as they lost control of the real estate market, Bloomberg reports China is moving quickly to become the first country to operate the world’s most powerful atomic reactor even as France’s nuclear regulator says communication and cooperation on safety measures with its Chinese counterparts are lacking. France has a lot riding on a smooth roll out of China’s European Pressurized Reactors (EPRs) as it is home to Areva, which developed the next-gen reactor, and utility EdF, which oversees the project. French regulators, speaking in parliament, warned, “the Chinese safety authorities lack means. They are overwhelmed.”    Continue reading “China Builds World’s Most Powerful Nuclear Reactor; Regulators “Overwhelmed””

The New American – by Alex Newman

A collection of over 100 of the world’s communist, Islamist, and socialist tyrants, along with some elected but mostly corrupt Third World regimes, gathered in Bolivia at the G77 plus China summit to demand what they called a “New World Order to Live Well.” United Nations boss Ban Ki-moon joined the anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-national sovereignty, anti-free market festivities, calling on the assembled rulers — the biggest bloc at the UN — to keep pushing “sustainable development” and global-warming alarmism with the goal of foisting global governance on humanity. Despite its significance, the historic 50th anniversary G77 summit went largely unnoticed in the establishment press.    Continue reading “China, G77 Tyrants, and UN Boss Demand “New World Order””

chronic headache syndromePrevent Disease – by John Summerly

There are many different things that can cause headaches: Abrupt changes in your diet or an everyday schedule like getting too much or too little sleep, stress, long working hours, skipping a meal, or from using the computer for a long time without taking breaks. Headache can cause unbearable pain along with nausea, and at times vomiting. Many people don’t realize that the most common cause of a headache is dehydration. There are many over the counter medicines available in the market to get rid of headache, but all of them have potential side effects, disrupt gut bacteria and can cause other health problems. Instead of relying on quick fixes through drugs, try some of these natural remedies which are proven effective for even some of the worst headaches including tension, cluster and migraines.   Continue reading “16 Natural Ways To Get Rid of a Headache Fast”

Liberty’s Beacon

Good morning, Gentle Reader. Have you been disturbed by the most recent news? Thinking that things really aren’t as bad as that, because they’re actually worse? Wondering if you’ll ever manage to unravel that knot in your stomach short of hauling stakes and “going Galt?”

If the above applies to you, turn off the television — those patent medicines won’t do a damn thing for you and you know it — and address this most important question with me:   Continue reading “Declarations Of War”

Mississippi state welcome signLight from the Right – by Bob Adelmann

Based on the number of convictions for violating federal  laws, Mississippi – a state with just 3 million citizens – ranks at the very top of the list of all states, according to a recent study. Two college professors published their report in the May/June issue of Public Administration Review.

Their study said the high level of corruption in the state resulted in high state  on projects most likely to be “bribe-generating” like capital improvements and highway construction, while leaving more socially beneficial projects like schools and health facilities behind. It also noted massive cost overruns on those projects thanks to those bribes as well as blatant payoffs to government officials getting wealthy at the expense of the poor. Said the authors:   Continue reading “Mississippi is the most Corrupt state, says a new study”

Some of the Firearms Destroyed in Santa Fe, NMAmmoLand – by Dean Weingarten

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- One of the oddest parts of the political desire to disarm Americans is the push to destroy valuable property for propaganda purposes.   In Santa Fe, New Mexico, tens of thousands of dollars of valuable property was destroyed purely for propaganda.  Even in the old Soviet Union, which was no slouch when it came to disarming its people, the guns that were collected were not wantonly destroyed.   They were cared for, refurbished, sold to renew state resources, or used to defend the state from its enemies.  No doubt many were redistributed to reliable Party members and officials.   Continue reading “Santa Fe Destroys Hundreds of Valuable Guns”

Activist Post – by Ellen Brown

“Finance is the new form of warfare – without the expense of a military overhead and an occupation against unwilling hosts. It is a competition in credit creation to buy foreign resources, real estate, public and privatized infrastructure, bonds and corporate stock ownership. Who needs an army when you can obtain the usual objective (monetary wealth and asset appropriation) simply by financial means?” – Dr. Michael Hudson, Counterpunch, October 2010.

When the US Federal Reserve bought an 80% stake in American International Group (AIG) in September 2008, the unprecedented $85 billion outlay was justified as necessary to bail out the world’s largest insurance company. Today, however, central banks are on a global corporate buying spree not to bail out bankrupt corporations but simply as an investment, to compensate for the loss of bond income due to record-low interest rates. Indeed, central banks have become some of the world’s largest stock investors. Continue reading “Central Banks Are Secretly Buying Up the World’s Corporations”
