17 Homeless Atlanta Families Finally Found a Home, But Now the Government Wants Them OutCare 2 – by Alan Pyke

Their children are on the local school soccer team. They serve on the Parent-Teacher Association. Their neighbors admire them and want them to stay. Yet because of a bureaucratic dispute between the city and the suburbs, Friday [was] the last day that 17 formerly-homeless mothers and their families are allowed to call the Vine City neighborhood of Atlanta home.

The decision by Fulton County, GA officials to relocate these families would seem to run exactly counter to the purpose of the federally-funded permanent supportive housing program that put Natasha Jones and her son in their cramped but tidy apartment a few blocks from the stadium where the Atlanta Falcons play football on autumn Sundays. But because a county and city that once worked together closely are now at odds over how to tackle homelessness, dozens of once-marginalized people are about to be uprooted.   Continue reading “17 Homeless Atlanta Families Finally Found a Home, But Now the Government Wants Them Out”

Saturday at a press conference from the Rio Grande Valley, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) discussed her tour of a border holding facility and addressed the humanitarian crisis of thousands unaccompanied minors flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border, which she called a “humanitarian opportunity.”

Pelosi explained, “We are all Americans — north and south in this hemisphere,” and urged America to see this as not a crisis but an opportunity “to be helpful.” She also said she wished she could simply “take home” the thousands of children temporarily housed in the overburden facilities.   Continue reading “Pelosi on the Border: We Have to Use This ‘Crisis’ as an ‘Opportunity’”

Facebook is locked in a legal battle over a court ruling that forced the site to hand over data from almost 400 profiles to authorities. The social media site argues the decision is unconstitutional and violates the Fourth Amendment.

Last summer, a New York court ordered Facebook to release data from the accounts of 381 people, who were suspected of being involved in a disability fraud case. The information included photos, private messages and other data.    Continue reading “Facebook fighting against ‘largest ever’ govt data request in court”

The persistent myth that dietary fat causes obesity and promotes heart disease has undoubtedly ruined the health of millions of people. It’s difficult to know just how many people have succumbed to chronic poor health from following conventional low-fat, high-carb recommendations, but I’m sure the number is significant.

In the featured documentary, Cereal Killers, 41-year-old Donal O’Neill turns the American food pyramid upside-down—eliminating sugars and grains, and dramatically boosting his fat intake. In so doing, he improves his health to the point of reducing his hereditary risk factors for heart disease to nil.   Continue reading “Cereal Killers—The Movie”

Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) is pushing for a formal investigation into the activities of General Keith Alexander now that the former head of the NSA has started his own very expensive security consultancy. There is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Gen Alexander.

Last week it was reported that Alexander, who retired from his role at the NSA and US Cyber Command in March, has set up a business called IronNet Cybersecurity Inc and was pitching for business with financial institutions. He was advertising his services costing $1m a month, although he later offered a discount that would bring his fee down to $600,000.   Continue reading “What is ex-NSA spyboss selling for $1m a month, asks US congressman”

The federal government’s policies of allowing the mass migration of infectious disease-carrying people into the United States while transporting them to America’s largest cities is a “perfect blueprint” for seeding a deadly pandemic. Right now, we are witnessing the engineering of a public health and humanitarian disaster optimized for rapid disease transmission that puts all Americans at risk.

Consider what’s happening right now:

1) Over 30,000 illegal immigrants are flooding into Texas each month (about a thousand a day).    Continue reading “Unloading disease-carrying immigrants in large U.S. cities a ‘perfect storm’ for pandemic disease outbreak”

Baking-Soda---The-Nightmare-of-the-Pharmaceutical-IndustryWorthy to Know – by Joanna Ocean

According to the result of research findings, cancer is a lactic acid, which is formed when a certain kind of fungus or moldlives in an environment devoid of oxygen. It was also discovered that by passing a very high concentration of oxygen molecules through cancer cells, it could destroy them completely.

It is really very difficult for anyone to wrap their head around the idea that a substance as common as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can offer much more benefits than most of the pharmaceutical drugs that cost so much. There is however fascinating evidence that proves that sodium bicarbonate can indeed cure a lot of serious diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Medical practitioners have also been advised to use it since it offers amazing benefits.   Continue reading “Baking Soda – The Nightmare of the Pharmaceutical Industry”

June 28, 2014 “ICH” – “Politico” – –  You probably don’t know me, but like you I am one of those .01%ers, a proud and unapologetic capitalist. I have founded, co-founded and funded more than 30 companies across a range of industries—from itsy-bitsy ones like the night club I started in my 20s to giant ones like Amazon.com, for which I was the first nonfamily investor. Then I founded aQuantive, an Internet advertising company that was sold to Microsoft in 2007 for $6.4 billion. In cash. My friends and I own a bank. I tell you all this to demonstrate that in many ways I’m no different from you. Like you, I have a broad perspective on business and capitalism.
