If you want a good picture of how complicated the situation in Ukraine is, look no further than Senator John McCain’s recent trip to Kyiv.

You see, while the former presidential hopeful’s weekend trip was full of pro-Europe sound bites — “Ukraine will make Europe better and Europe will make Ukraine better,” he told a crowd in Kyiv’s central Maidan square on Saturday — and warnings of stern reactions from the U.S. should Ukraine use violence against the protesters, there’s another detail to it that might cause McCain fans at home some concern.   Continue reading “John McCain Went To Ukraine And Stood On Stage With A Man Accused Of Being An Anti-Semitic Neo-Nazi”

In April of last year, Obama announced a $100 million brain-mapping project, which is being promoted as essential to unlocking the secrets behind degenerative brain conditions and kick starting job growth.

Despite a U.S. economy that is sliding ever faster toward complete implosion, Obama is doubling down on the initiative with another $100 million dollar commitment even as very little of the assertions about job growth have been proven.   Continue reading “Obama Doubles Down on BRAIN Project and Military Mind Control”

In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy and fears of new control control legislation from the Obama administration, extreme shortages of ammunition have been sustained over the past 12-24 months, as panicked Americans have raided the shelves of Cabelas and gun-shows across the country buying literally every round they can get their hands on.

Combined with multi-billion round purchases from gov’t 3 letter acronyms such as the DHS and FBI, (including even the USPS and IRS), the shortages have continued even as manufacturers have responded by drastically increasing production.   Continue reading “Ammo Rush Begins Again as Russia Halts Soviet Ammunition Exports to the US!”

MOUNTAIN VIEW — Gov. Jerry Brown and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to the heart of the Silicon Valley on Wednesday and signed a deal that would promote trade and joint research between the Jewish state and California.

The picture that’s painted here is pretty strange. Nakamoto apparently worked on black world projects, but, according to the story, he’s a libertarian and is ambivalent about the government. According to his daughter, “He was very wary of the government, taxes and people in charge.”

I don’t know what to make of this, but it’s definitely an interesting read.   Continue reading “Satoshi Nakamoto, Creator of Bitcoin, Has “Done Classified Work for Major Corporations and the U.S. Military””

It has long been assumed that Americans who abuse prescription drugs manage to do so by getting their pills from relatives and friends. But a new study shows doctors are actually the No. 1 source for painkillers used by chronic abusers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) delved into the problem and found in 27% of cases involving chronic abusers (those taking pills 200 days or more a year), physicians were the most common source of painkillers.   Continue reading “Doctors are Primary Source of Narcotic Painkillers for Chronic Drug Abusers in U.S.”

By a more than three-to-one margin on Tuesday, communities voting on whether to support the creation of a public bank in Vermont approved the idea, calling for the state legislature to establish such a bank and urging passage of legislation designed to begin its implementation.

In a show of direct democracy that also exposed the citizenry’s desire for a more localized and responsible banking system, fifteen of nineteen towns passed the resolution during ‘Town Meeting Day’— an annual event in which voters choose local officials, approve municipal budgets, and make their voices heard on a number of measures put before local residents for approval.   Continue reading “15 Vermont Towns Vote to Start a Public Bank that Works for Them, Not Wall Street”

Calls for reduced federal spending have forced the Department of Energy (DOE) to axe a multi-billion-dollar project for disposing of plutonium used in nuclear warheads, leaving the federal government with no Plan B for addressing an issue that has both domestic and international implications.

The project involved building a special plant in South Carolina that could transform weapons-grade nuclear material into Mixed Oxide (MOX) fuel that civilian nuclear reactors could burn for fuel.   Continue reading “Energy Dept. Gives up on Expensive Nuclear Waste Plant”

Cop Block – by Ryan DeSantis 

Well, I was walking through a haunted house when someone pushed me; thinking it was part of the haunted house, I kept walking and almost immediately it happened again, but this time I knew it was not friendly. It was a big jacked security guard and he said, “Come on faggot, do something,” so I did. I unleashed on the security guard, breaking his nose and turning it into a water fall. After the commotion someone grabbed my arm; I looked and it was a cop (this cop was older, NOT a member of Cheektowaga Police). The cop walked us outside and separated us while he found the owner. When the owner came out, the security guard told them I was destroying the haunted house props and that was why he attacked me. While the owner was checking out the damage that didn’t exist, the Cheektowaga cops showed up because it was their district/area or whatever. The second the cop got out of his car and he threw me against the car, hit me in the stomach, and told me he was sick of, “f#@king punks like you.” At this time, the owner had come back out saying I was not destroying anything, I was defending myself and he had been having issues with his security staff picking fights since the haunted house opened.   Continue reading “Police Beat Up 15-Year-Old”

FARMINGTON, Mo. (KMOX) – Some teachers in Farmington balked this week after being told that a school safety drill would require them to wear goggles and be shot at with air soft pellet guns.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A U.S. Army general accused of sexual assault was set to plead guilty to three lesser charges Thursday in a move that his lawyer says will strengthen his position going into trial.

Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair plans to enter the plea before opening statements scheduled for the morning in his court martial at Fort Bragg. The primary accuser in the case is a female captain who says Sinclair twice forced her to perform oral sex and threatened to kill her family if she told anyone about their three-year affair.   Continue reading “General to admit guilt on 3 counts; denies assault”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A man was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and killing a nursing student who was last seen outside her West Tennessee home nearly three years ago, investigators said.

Holly Bobo was 20 when she disappeared on April 13, 2011. Her brother told authorities he saw a man in hunting clothes leading her into the woods around the family home near Parsons, about 100 miles northeast of Memphis.   Continue reading “Indictment in missing Tenn. nursing student case”

Goldman Sachs churns out enormous profits from its high-rolling, casino investment schemes, while also churning out fat paychecks for its top executives. They literally sack up the gold, even as their speculative gambles have wreaked havoc on our real economy.

But, finally recognizing that their public approval rating has sunk lower than mad-cow disease, Goldman’s banking barons now want you to know that they feel your pain and are eager to “give back” to the people. So — ta-da! — they’ve transformed themselves into philanthropists, having goosed up the bank’s foundation in order to flash their “charitable side.” Goldman’s chief of staff noted that “people said we weren’t doing enough” to address the gross inequities created by Wall Streeters, so they’ve turned their foundation into the fourth largest corporate charity in America. In an orchestrated show that the New York Times dubbed “reputation redemption,” the bank’s charitable arm doled out $241 million last year, including grants to women in developing nations and small business projects here in the U.S.   Continue reading “Can Wall Street Buy Redemption?”
