With numerous charges of priest sex abuse against children mounting on the Catholic Church, Pope Francis‘ meeting last Wed with Actor Russell Crowe on his new movie “Noah” may have been the only positive point in his week.

A scathing Feb UN report criticizing Pope Francis for concealing sex abuse crimes on Catholic child sex abuse survivors now numbering in the millions, didn’t seem to affect Vatican policies that appeared designed to protect Catholic authorities, not their child victims:   Continue reading “Pope Francis protects priests, not child sex abuse victims?”

What happens when more people hear about the damaging effects of GMO? You run out of a viable market for your goods. That’s what is happening to Agro-giant, Syngenta, who halted its commercial sales of a new GMO corn strain due to lack of approval for their genetically modified goods.

The company has already been accused of wire tapping a prominent scientist who let the world know just how bad one of their widely-used chemicals, atrazine, was for the endocrine system. Apparently even stalking an honest researcher isn’t enough to prevent a black-listing of their own genetically modified corn containing the Agrisure Duracade trait, which supposedly protects crops from rootworms.   Continue reading “Syngenta Halts GMO Corn Seed Sales in Canada Due to Importer Resistance”

The immediate precursor to today’s pro-Israel lobby began in 1939[i]under the leadership of Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, originally from Lithuania. He created the American Zionist Emergency Council (AZEC), which by 1943 had acquired a budget of half a million dollars at a time when a nickel bought a loaf of bread.[ii]

In addition to this money, Zionists [adherents of “political Zionism,” a movement to create a Jewish state in Palestine] had become influential in creating a fundraising umbrella organization, the United Jewish Appeal, in 1939[iii], giving them access to the organization’s gargantuan financial resources: $14 million in 1941, $150 million by 1948. This was four times more than Americans contributed to the Red Cross and was the equivalent of approximately $1.5 billion today.[iv]   Continue reading “The Origins of the Israel Lobby in the US”

Some people have all the luck.  People in Connecticut, for example.  The state cops say they’re coming for the guns.  The matronly new chief says no, but the odious Lt. Paul Vance, the front man for the Sandy Hook lie factory, says it’s true and moreover, it’s un-American to oppose them in any way.   Not only that:  he said that he’s the master.  What the hell did that mean?

Let’s say Chief Grandma thinks she’s not lying.  If eighty percent of the people refuse to obey “the law,” what’s a gun cop to do?    They know you’ve got an “illegal” rifle or magazine, they know where you live.  Are they going to let it slide?   Continue reading “What is their plan for us?”
