Michael Hastings was a war correspondent. He knew he was at war with the American government. He said the following before he was murdered:

‘The Obama administration has clearly declared war on the press. Has declared war on investigative journalists (and) our sources. The only recourse to this kind of behavior by the government is to say back to the government we declare war on you. And from this point forward we should no longer as the media on the whole no longer cooperate in any manner with the government in terms of when we are doing National Security stories. We should withdraw all our cooperation and publish everything we know because it is a Free Press not a Free Press except when the government tells me what to do. And we’ve been way too easy going with these guys. We let them get away with this for years. We let them tell us what to print and what not to print. I say everybody get together and say we are done with it and fire back. No one else is going to defend the press.”   Continue reading “In Memoriam: Michael Hastings January 28, 1980 – June 18, 2013.

Successfully Overturning the Fed’s Hemp Ban: 4 Uses for HempNatural Society – by Christina Sarich

Growing hemp without a federal permit has been banned since the 1970s, but regulations and restrictions on the sale of Cannabis sativa as a drug began as early as 1619. It is currently classified as a controlled substance on Schedule I, just like marijuana and heroin, even though you couldn’t get high off of hemp if you smoked a truckload of it. Hemp cultivation is currently only allowed in pilot studies in a few states as part of the latest federal farm bill, but its widespread cultivation in still illegal. Why?   Continue reading “Successfully Overturning the Fed’s Hemp Ban: 4 Uses for Hemp”

Hillary Clinton is often billed as a role model for young girls and women. But she has spent a lot of her time hurting young girls and women instead.

Her career and her personal life became entwined with covering up for rapists and hurting women.   Continue reading “Hillary Clinton Helped Child Rapist Get Off, Attacked 12-Year-Old Victim”

Long-suffering State Dept. spokesperson Jen Psaki endured another torrid press briefing as she was forced to defend some distinctly unsavory remarks by Ukrainian politicians and struggled with the differences between Iraq and Iran, as well as oil and gas.

As usual, AP’s Matt Lee served as Psaki’s chief tormentor, bringing up last week’s protests outside the Russian embassy in Kiev, in which Ukraine’s acting Foreign Minister Andrey Deshchitsa addressed the anti-Russian mob by telling them that “Putin is a f**ker.”   Continue reading “Psaki defends Ukraine FM over ‘Putin f**ker’ remark, confuses Iraq and Iran”

Proposed Legislation Would Grant New York’s Immigrants State “Citizenship”Hispanically Speaking News

A group led by New York state Sen. Gustavo Rivera launched Monday a campaign that proposes awarding state “citizenship” to the estimated 2.7 million immigrants who live in the Empire State, regardless of their immigration status.

“We have failed with immigration reform nationally and what we want is to provide an opportunity for the almost 3 million people who live and contribute to the public treasury in our state to take part in its political, civic and economic life,” Rivera told Efe Monday before introducing the bill.   Continue reading “Proposed Legislation Would Grant New York’s Immigrants State “Citizenship””

Novartis Holly SpringsCIDRAP

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first US facility that can make cell-culture influenza vaccines, a Novartis plant in Holly Springs, N.C., that has been part of federal government efforts to prepare for a pandemic and to sidestep some limits of egg-based flu vaccine technology.

Novartis said in a press release today that the approval clears the way for commercial production to begin at the site and for Flucelvax, its seasonal flu vaccine, to be made in the United States for the first time. The vaccine, approved in November 2012, was the first cell-based flu vaccine to receive FDA clearance, and the first doses—made in the company’s German production facility—entered the US market during the 2013-14 flu season.   Continue reading “FDA OKs Novartis’s US cell-based flu vaccine facility”

The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking the power to regulate navigation apps such as Google Maps and Apple Maps in a bid to reduce the number of distracted drivers on the road.

The agency is seeking Congressional approval to obtain regulatory control over mapping apps under President Barack Obama’s proposed transportation bill, the Grow America Act.

Under the proposed legislation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would be handed the authority to implement restrictions on mapping apps and order they be changed if they are found to be dangerous.   Continue reading “Government Wants to Regulate Navigation Apps”

Some 39 months after the multiple explosions at Fukushima, thyroid cancer rates among nearby children have skyrocketed to more than forty times (40x) normal.

The rate is accelerating.   Continue reading “Fukushima’s Children are Dying”

TUCSON, Arizona–As more and more unaccompanied alien children (UACs) from Central America have poured into south Texas—and subsequently transferred to Border Patrol facilities elsewhere along the border—US government officials are scrambling to find places to put them. However, based on current immigration and asylum laws, the vast majority of those children could be legally staying right here in the United States before long.    Continue reading “Pro-Bono Lawyers: Most Unaccompanied Border Children Eligible for Amnesty”

LAS VEGAS — The shooting rampage at an eastside CiCi’s Pizza and Walmart last week is shedding light on people who hate the government and are willing to kill because of it.

The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates there are 300,000 so-called sovereign citizens in the U.S. and that number may be growing in Nevada.

Sovereign citizens believe federal, state, and local governments are operating illegally, but when does free speech cross the line?   Continue reading “Shooting rampage sheds light on sovereign citizen extremists”

LAS VEGAS — The competition is fierce at the County Commission as nearly 90 different groups vie for 18 available medical marijuana establishment spots in Clark County.

Many of these applications are backed by local doctors and pharmacists, who say they’re getting into this because they believe in the product.

Several applicants say they intend to operate their dispensary like a pharmacy or clinic. While it would not be exactly the same, many leaned on their medical expertise during the application process, hoping to get chosen.   Continue reading “Powerful people, top docs vying for medical marijuana licenses”

In a minute, I’m going to print a stunning 1978 conversation between a US reporter and two members of the Trilateral Commission.

I discovered the conversation in the late 1980s, and ever since then, I’ve been looking at it from various angles, finding new implications. Here, I want to point out that the conversation was public knowledge at the time.

Anyone who was anyone in Washington politics, in media, in think-tanks, had access to it. Understood its meaning.   Continue reading “When The Elite showed its hand”
