Standing Outside Looking In – by Stephen

She’d phoned, said, “I’ll be there, shortly.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” You never argue with Mrs. Campbell.

I’d expected her call. Over the last few months she’s sold me several of her late husbands toys. Her husband’s name was Percy. Nice fella. Percy checked out, intelligence intact, in his late eighties. He and I got along well. Percy spoke several languages, none flute, and had a deep abiding love for literature, especially science fiction. Percy also enjoyed firearms.   Continue reading “Mrs. Campbell’s Beretta”

Guerrilla America – by Steven Barry

Individual underground and resistance operatives expected to cope with sophisticated law enforcement practices or security organizations are often at a singular disadvantage in their efforts to understand systematized techniques and practices of clandestine behavior. The varieties of this behavior, known collectively as “tradecraft,” are a traditional province of secret intelligence and special operations; fields reluctant to shed light on operational methods and procedures. There is a dearth of reliable material in the literature of underground and resistance intelligence and unless the operative has an appropriate background, attempts to obtain useful extracts from the broader open literature will prove difficult indeed.   Continue reading “Principles of Clandestine Behavior”

Harvard School of Public Health- by Marge Dwyer

July 25, 2012 — For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain. Extremely high levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but little is known about the substance’s impact on children’s neurodevelopment. In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.   Continue reading “Impact of fluoride on neurological development in children”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

The tit-for-tat sabre-rattling and rhetoric continues to build ahead of this weekend’s planned referendum in Ukraine’s Crimea region. This morning has seen 3 new threads beginning with Ukraine’s “live-fire” exercises involving T-64B tanks. This was then followed by warnings from Russia of “consequences” of “unconditionally indulging radical elements” in Ukraine calling US financial aid “illegal” which was swiftly responded to by the State Department exclaiming it “unacceptable” that Russian forces take matters into their own hands and “do not create the right environment for diplomacy.” Not positive…   Continue reading “Russia Warns US Against “Illegal” Ukraine Bailout; Ukraine Commences Live-Fire “Drill” With Tanks”
