Yet another urban legend about North Korea bites the dust.

The ex-girlfriend of leader Kim Jong Un, reportedly executed by firing squad last year, turned up apparently alive and well on a state television broadcast Friday night.

Hyon Song Wol, a singer with an all-female band, was reported to be one of  10 to 12 people executed in August by firing squad, as the story claimed, for performing in pornographic videos sold in China.   Continue reading “North Korea leader’s ‘executed’ ex-girlfriend shows up alive on TV”

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”

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”

The phrase “conspiracy theorist” is a derogatory smear phrase thrown at someone in an attempt to paint them as a lunatic. It’s a tactic frequently used by modern-day thought police in a desperate attempt to demand “Don’t go there!”

But let’s step back for a rational moment and ask the commonsense question: Are there really NO conspiracies in our world?   Continue reading “Refreshing rationality: Why NOT believing in conspiracies is a sure sign of mental retardation”

On August 1, citizens in Minnesota will rejoice that the police can no longer steal their property without their being convicted — or even charged with — a crime. Until then, Minnesota remains an upside-down world, as do many other states, where police can seize cash and property if they think that somehow that cash or property was involved in a crime. Until August 1, citizens who have had their property seized will still have to prove a negative: that their property was neither the “instrument” nor the “proceeds” of the charged crime.   Continue reading “Minnesotans Score Small Victory in Civil Asset Forfeiture War”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

In the past several years, one of the topics covered in detail on these pages has been the surge in such gimmicks designed to disguise lack of demand and end customer sales, used extensively by US automotive manufacturers, better known as “channel stuffing”, of which General Motors is particularly guilty and whose inventory at dealer lots just hit a new record high. But did you know that when it comes to flat or declining sales and stagnant end demand, channel stuffing is merely the beginning?    Continue reading “Where the World’s Unsold Cars Go To Die”
