WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. government is stepping up efforts to help Central American farmers fight a devastating coffee disease – and hold down the price of your morning cup.

A fungus called coffee rust has caused more than $1 billion in damage across Latin American. The fungus is especially deadly to Arabica coffee – that’s the bean that makes up most high-end, specialty coffees.   Continue reading “A&M Set to Help with Brewing Troubles From Coffee Fungus”

Victory Post – by Lucas Bowser

We can add Captain America: The Winter Soldier to the list of recent blockbuster films containing themes that are critical of America’s growing police state and war on terror. Other major films like OblivionEnder’s GameThe Hunger Games, and Star Trek: Into Darkness have all recently taken shots at these important issues, but none have packed quite the patriotic punch that Marvel’s symbolic fascism fighter has delivered in this new sequel.   Continue reading “New Captain America Film Takes On Obama’s Kill List and the New World Order”

The Gadsden flag has a very long and rich history in this country.

Depicting a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike and the words “Dont tread on me,” the flag is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden.  Gadsden designed the flag in 1775 during the American revolution.  It was also used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag.   Continue reading “High School Student “Not Welcome” At School After Flying The Gadsden Flag”

The Myth of the Good Guy CopCop Block

On the Cop Block Facebook page, comments on this blog, and on my YouTube channel, and really anywhere you say anything negative about police in general, there is one common theme you can expect to hear from the voting cattle and government propagandabots. “You shouldn’t paint with such a broad brush, sure there are some bad cops out there, but most cops are good guys. Maybe not most, but some of them exist. Someday you might need a cop” or some variation thereof.

Devon Archer Ukraine gasHang the Bankers – by Filip K

Vice President Joe Biden‘s son and a close friend of Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson have joined the board of a Ukrainian gas producer controlled by a former top security and energy official for deposed President Viktor Yanukovych.

The move has attracted attention given Messrs. Biden’s and Kerry’s public roles in diplomacy toward Ukraine, where the U.S. expressed support for pro-Western demonstrators who toppled Mr. Yanukovych’s Kremlin-backed government in February. The uprising provoked a pro-Russia backlash that has plunged the post-Soviet republic into conflict and brought it to the brink of civil war.    Continue reading “John Kerry’s friend joins the Board of Ukrainian gas producer, same company as Joe Biden’s son”

A man in Illinois has tested positive for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) but has shown no signs of illness, US health officials say. The case may shed light on milder forms of the new deadly virus that kills 30 percent of those infected.

The man is a business associate of an Indiana resident who was confirmed as the first US case of the deadly Middle East virus, and likely contracted it from him. Though he did not seek or require medical help and is reported to be feeling well, a blood test on Friday showed he had developed antibodies to MERS, said officials at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).    Continue reading “Illinois resident tests positive for MERS but doesn’t fall ill”

mistletoe cancerJB Bardot

Viscum Album, more commonly known as mistletoe, is one of the most researched and widely used alternative cancer therapies, and it is regularly prescribed as a complementary therapy to treat cancer patients in Europe. Mistletoe has been used to heal many conditions for thousands of years. The Druids and ancient Greeks were well aware of its magical healing properties. Mistletoe is not currently available as an herbal cancer therapy in the United States because the FDA does not approve the sale of it as a cancer treatment. This is remarkable because approximately $59 million is spent on herbal mistletoe therapy in Europe each year, and patients in Germany are even able to claim treatment costs, which are then paid for by their health insurance. Is it possible that a humble Christmas decoration holds the cure for one of the most widely diagnosed diseases known to man? This article looks at mistletoe therapy as an alternative cancer treatment, and examines the origins of this so-called miracle plant.   Continue reading “Mistletoe — A Potent Cancer Treatment and You Thought it was Just for Kissing”
