“I support Israel not only because I worship a Jew but because of what the Bible says about Israel and the future of Israel.”
In one sentence, the son of evangelical pastor Billy Graham was able to convey all of the intellectual depth behind the Christian Zionist movement. Continue reading “The Heart of Zionism”
A sense of disbelief and distress is quickly rippling through the U.S. artisan cheese community, as the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week announced it will not permit American cheesemakers to age cheese on wooden boards.
Recently, the FDA inspected several New York state cheesemakers and cited them for using wooden surfaces to age their cheeses. The New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets’ Division of Milk Control and Dairy Services, which (like most every state in the U.S., including Wisconsin), has allowed this practice, reached out to FDA for clarification on the issue. A response was provided by Monica Metz, Branch Chief of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition’s (CFSAN) Dairy and Egg Branch.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Five Americans troops were killed in an apparent friendly fire incident in southern Afghanistan, a U.S. defense official said Tuesday, in one of the worst such incidents involving United States or coalition troops since the start of the nearly 14 year war.
The official insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly to journalists. Continue reading “5 US troops killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan”

2005: At the Height of the Iraqi War:
• 20,000: number of non-Iraqi security contractors
Of these, 5-6,000 were British, American, South African, Russian or European; another 12,000 are from Third World countries, such as Fiji, Colombia, Sri Lanka, and India.
• 15,000 Iraqi security contractors
Most were hired mainly by the British security firm Erinys to guard Iraq’s oil infrastructure. Continue reading “Have Guns, Will Travel

The U.S. Treasury Department said it sets limits while allowing the nation’s intelligence agencies to access reports that banks file on suspicious or large money moves by customers, including information about Americans.
Sets limits? The NSA, IRS & the FBI have access to our financial records. Continue reading “The U.S. Treasury dept. & other agencies are spying on our banking records”

Over 2,000 care-home kids were secretly vaccinated against diphtheria in the 1930s in medical trials undertaken by international drugs giant Burroughs Wellcome, Irish media reveal. Among the testing sites was a recently discovered mass grave.
The medical records cited by the Irish Daily Mail show that some 2,051 children and babies across several Irish care homes may have been subjected to the practice. Continue reading “Revealed: Thousands of Irish orphans were used as ‘drug guinea pigs’”
Despite President Poroshenko intention to bring about a ceasefire, Kiev’s relentless military operation in the country’s east is intensifying. Slavyansk has become one of the main targets of artillery attacks, amateur videos filmed in the area show.
“We must reach a ceasefire this week. Each day when people are dying, each day when Ukraine pays such a high price is unacceptable for me,” newly sworn-in President Petro Poroshenko said on June 8 after trilateral talks on eastern Ukraine with Russian and OSCE representatives.

Think those flat, glassy solar panels on your neighbor’s roof are the pinnacle of solar technology? Think again.
Researchers in the University of Toronto’s Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering have designed and tested a new class of solar-sensitive nanoparticle that outshines the current state of the art employing this new class of technology.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s attorney general on Monday pledged $3.5 million from criminal and civil forfeitures to help outfit police statewide with thousands of bulletproof vests.
Intended to fill the recent funding gap in a federal grant program, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said the so-called “inVEST Partnership” will enable New York law enforcement agencies to cover up to half the cost of equipping new officers or replacing expiring vests for others. The matching funds are expected to help fund 6,000 to 10,000 vests. Continue reading “NY to help fund bulletproof vests for police”
Even if you power off your cell phone, the U.S. government can turn it back on.
That’s what ex-spy Edward Snowden revealed in last week’s interview with NBC’s Brian Williams. It sounds like sorcery. Can someone truly bring your phone back to life without touching it?
No. But government spies can get your phone to play dead.
It’s a crafty hack. You press the button. The device buzzes. You see the usual power-off animation. The screen goes black. But it’ll secretly stay on — microphone listening and camera recording. Continue reading “How the NSA can ‘turn on’ your phone remotely”
One of the ploys of the LGBT Mafia as they continue their juggernaut to seize control of America’s churches is that they say that “we are all created in God’s image”, thereby attempting to justify their perverse lifestyle. But the bible says exactly the opposite. When Adam and Eve sinned and lost the image of God in the Garden, the children that they produced were created in their own fallen image. Not in the image of God. We read this in Genesis 5:3: Continue reading “Obama’s Church Welcomes Transgendered Sodomite Priest To Perform Services”

You’re right to be concerned about the effects of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011 and beyond. The power station in Japan failed miserably following an earthquake, sending radioactive waste into the ocean at amounts still not fully understood. Recently, a study from researchers with Oregon State University has affirmed the spills have affected sea life and Albacore tuna in particular.
Published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, the research, led by Delvan Neville of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics of the University, says there are notable effects of the Fukushima disaster being felt by tuna caught off the coast of Oregon.

For two years, Japan has omitted 640 kilograms (0.7 of a ton) of unused plutonium in its annual accounts to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
An official at the Japan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) said the nuclear fuel – enough to power about 80 nuclear bombs – is part of a fuel, called mixed plutonium-uranium oxide (MOX), that was stored for the period covered by the reports in a reactor in the southern Japanese town that has been off-line for three years.

The Air Force has further beefed up its bomber presence in Europe, deploying two B-2 stealth bombers for military exercises in the region.
The B-2 deployment is another show of Washington’s effort to reassure allies in the region amid Russia’s recent bluster. The aircraft are assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing out of Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. On Sunday, they joined three B-52 Stratofortress aircraft already deployed to RAF Fairford, a British air base west of London.? Continue reading “U.S. sends stealth bombers to Europe”
