I’ve believed the US/UK military has been involved in this all along, and that the plane was flown to Diego Garcia. Now, it seems all evidence is pointing that way..

KUALA LUMPUR: The airport runway of Diego Garcia is among the top five locations the investigative team discovered on the simulator programme in Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s residence in Shah Alam last Saturday, as reported by Berita Harian.   Continue reading “MH370 Pilot’s Simulator Had Diego Garcia Landing Programmed In”

During a recent appearance at the American Enterprise Institute, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates expressed concern about the effect a minimum wage hike would have on the demand for labor, intimating that the Earned Income Tax Credit as an anti-poverty measure makes more sense.

“You know, when people say we should raise the minimum wage, I know some economists disagree, but I think, boy, I worry about what that does to job creation,” Gates told a crowd gathered at the conservative think tank. “The idea that through the Earned Income Tax Credit, you would end up with a certain minimum wage that you’d receive — that, I understand better than potentially damping demand in the part of the labor spectrum that I’m most worried about.”   Continue reading “Bill Gates concerned minimum wage hike would dampen demand for labor”

For those of you who are regular readers of my articles, you know I like to get a little conspiratorial at times. In fact, one of my biggest, most common themes is comparing America’s state under the current Commissar to the 45 declared goals of the Communist Party. Given the fact that these goals were entered into the congressional record in 1965, it is safe to say that the communist influence in the USA has transpired a bit beyond the conspiratorial and is based more in reality than what many would like to admit.   Continue reading “It’s a Communist Conspiracy Folks – That’s the Only Explanation”

Anti-War – by John Glaser

Bill Kristol is not shy about his fetish for war. His latest piece at the neoconservative Weekly Standard borders on self-parody in the way that it openly longs for a return to a time when Americans were eager to send the U.S. military off on unnecessary, imperialistic adventures.

Kristol is frustrated by the “war-weariness” of the nation. He laments the reluctance on the part of the Republican Party to “challenge” “the idol of war-weariness.”   Continue reading “Bill Kristol Calls For Americans to be ‘Awakened and Rallied’ to War”

Hemp is one of my favorite proteins for many reasons. Most hemp protein powders on the market have no fillers or additives and it provides the 8 essential amino acids and fatty acids. You’ll need much less hemp protein than other types of proteins for equal benefit. Your body will also immediately recognize and digest natural, whole hemp protein and it won’t slow you down, bloat you, or make you feel uncomfortable.

Hemp seed protein has natural plant chlorophyll and alkalizes to maintain Ph balance in your body. It’s also loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.   Continue reading “Hemp Power Protein Smoothie Recipe”

Tech Dirt – by  Mike Masnick

Over the past few months, one thing we keep hearing over and over again from defenders of the intelligence community is that everything is under control and “legal” because Congress has powerful oversight. We’ve shown, repeatedly, how that’s something of a joke. The intelligence community has lied repeatedly, has withheld documents and is generally nonresponsive to oversight attempts by Congress. And, with the reports that the CIA spied on the Senate Intelligence Committee, we also find out that for all the bluster and talk of oversight, folks in Congress are actually scared by the intelligence community.    Continue reading “Nancy Pelosi Admits That Congress Is Scared Of The CIA”

Preface by Washington’s Blog:  We agree with most what Eric Zuesse writes. For example, we believe that Obama is serving big money interests, and not the American people.

But we also believe that the “left-versus-right” dichotomy is no longer relevant.   Continue reading “Obama: ‘I Don’t Care About the Public’s Welfare’”

Florida – As police confronted Antonio Cardoza, armed and barricaded in his home, onlookers were slack-jawed at the sight of a tank-like vehicle with turrets and sharpshooters that was stalking the neighborhood.

Twenty feet long, weighing close to eight tons, capable of nimble turns and hitting highway speeds, the imposing militarized machine trekked along Northeast 204th Street as negotiators tried to get Cardoza to stand down.    Continue reading “Police roll out 8-ton tank armored military vehicles & claim it’s to confront hiding suspects”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Index is the only stock market index that covers both the second and the third industrial revolution. Calculating share indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and showing this index in a historical graph is a useful way to show which phase the industrial revolution is in. Changes in the DJIA shares basket, changes in the formula and stock splits during the take-off phase and acceleration phase of industrial revolutions are perfect transition-indicators. The similarities of these indicators during the last two revolutions are fascinating, but also a reason for concern. In fact the graph of the DJIA is a classic example of fictional truth, a hoax.   Continue reading “The DJIA Is A Hoax”
