NEW YORK (AP) — Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law was convicted Wednesday for his role as al-Qaida’s fiery chief spokesman after 9/11 — a verdict prosecutors said vindicated the Obama administration’s strategy of bringing terror suspects to justice in civilian court.

A federal jury deliberated six hours over two days before finding 48-year-old Sulaiman Abu Ghaith guilty of charges that included conspiracy to kill Americans and providing support to al-Qaida. Abu Ghaith, a Kuwaiti-born imam who married bin Laden’s eldest daughter about five years ago, is the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure brought to trial on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.   Continue reading “Feds praise verdict against bin Laden son-in-law”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twenty-five pharmaceutical companies are voluntarily phasing out the use of antibiotics for growth promotion in animals processed for meat, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.

Citing a potential threat to public health, the agency in December asked 26 companies to voluntarily stop labeling drugs important for treating human infection as acceptable for animal growth promotion. The FDA did not name the one company that has not agreed to withdraw or revise its drugs.    Continue reading “25 drug companies to phase out animal antibiotics”

My wife and I are considered self employed. We are independent contractors that perform work for various companies and at the end of the year we receive a 1099 from them so that we can file our taxes. We do not have taxes withheld like typical workers. We also do not qualify for unemployment do to our being self employed.

This year our fees that the pieces of shit in DC and my state require us to pay to be allowed to live in the kingdom came in under 5 digits. We were almost happy about that. It was mainly because I was out of work for a little while last year. It still hurts to write the check to the thieves in DC. I understand that even a minimal government requires fiat currency to function. But the amounts that they spend on themselves and their bullshit are unacceptable. To put this into perspective, Michelle Obama just went on vacation to China at our expense. Her majesty’s room ran over $8000.00 per night. The taxes that we are forced to pay for a year didn’t quite cover one night for her in her hotel. Yet we have to budget our money to be able to eat. It is tough to write that check every year knowing that the money that we send will go to a bunch of things that we don’t want it to go to.   Continue reading “Taxes!

March 2014 – FIJI – A magnitude 6.5 earthquake has occurred south of the Fiji Islands, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The quake was at a depth of 295 miles. The earthquake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami threat to Hawaii. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports, “Based on all available data a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected and there is no tsunami threat to Hawaii. Repeat. A destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected and there is no tsunami threat to Hawaii.” –HNN   Continue reading “6.5 magnitude earthquake strikes ocean floor south of Fiji Islands”

The remnants of the BP oil spill are still impacting the environment around the Gulf. During a post-response monitoring survey last month, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) found 1250 pounds of submerged oil mats near Pensacola beaches.  The discovery was baffling because the area was surveyed 9 times since the Deepwater Horizon oil in 2010.    Continue reading “Submerged Oil Mats from BP Spill Found Near Pensacola Beaches”

George W. Bush, never looked so good, Bill Clinton, never looked so good, and now, Jimmy (and Rosalynn) Carter, never looked so good.

Today, America is going through some bad times, with a bad president.  It’s not like we haven’t been through this before.  We had the late ‘70’s and we had Carter, but things were no where near as bad in the late ‘70’s as they are today.  The $17 trillion national debt alone, makes the previous sentence undeniably true, but in addition to that, today we have Obama.   Continue reading “Let Them Eat Shit”

Approaching People on the topic of Geoengineering

First of all, semantics are extremely important in regard to the introduction of geoengineering. The geoengineering term is related to hard science, the “chemtrails” term has no such verifiable basis but rather leads anyone that Googles the term straight to “conspiracy theory” and “hoax” definitions. Use the terms “climate engineering” and “geoengineering”.   Continue reading “How to get involved in exposing chemtrails”

A lot of home builders and painters will know what trisodium phosphate (TSP) is. But a lot of them don’t know that they eat it for breakfast!

Even though it appears right on the ingredients label, a lot of people don’t realize it’s an industrial cleaning agent. It gets worse (see below video), the government doesn’t even want you to clean with it because it’s considered bad for the environment. It’s an okay part of a complete breakfast though!   Continue reading “Paint Thinner in Children’s Cereal Exposed”

Researchers are working to create “living materials” that are a combination of bacterial cells and nonliving materials that conduct electricity, which could create more efficient solar panels or biosensors.

A team at MIT used E. coli – which produces biofilms, or coalesced bacteria that organizes to survive – to grow proteins on a surface. Different protein fibers chose to interact with various nonliving molecules, Quartz reported on the team’s ongoing study first published in the journal Nature Materials.   Continue reading “‘Living materials’ could revolutionize solar panels and biosensors”

The Arab League has refused to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, backing Palestine’s stance on the issue. The demand by Israel threatened to destabilize US-Palestinian peace talks, according to Arab leaders.

“We express our total rejection of the call to consider Israel as a Jewish state,” said the declaration, issued at the close of the two-day long meeting which has been taking place in Kuwait City. The leaders also criticized “the continuation of settlements, Judaization of Jerusalem and attacks in its Muslim and Christian shrines and changing its demographics and geography.”   Continue reading “Arab summit rejects Israel as ‘Jewish state’”

American Fork, Utah —

When Mark Byrge had a minor traffic accident on a street in American Fork, Utah, he did the “responsible” thing by reporting the incident to the police. He has never stopped paying for that mistake.

Within a few minutes of receiving Mark’s call, a pair of American Fork cops arrived to document the damage to Byrge’s delivery truck from a collision with a tree branch that protruded into the street. Mark was cooperative – and he put up no resistance when the lead officer, Andres Gianfelice, placed him under arrest for an outstanding traffic ticket (as well as citing him for not providing proof of insurance).    Continue reading “He Cooperated with the Cops — and is Paying the Price: The Ordeal of Mark Byrge”
