TAN DROUGHT KILLING THE GOLDEN STATE

Government has lost its mind. It is no more evident than their decision last week to cut off water to America’s food basket. Squeezed by the worst-ever drought in the state’s history, California is dying of thirst. Crushing news was delivered to farmer’s that no water would be coming from the Federal government. This dreaded decision was compounded by the Sierra Mountains getting just 25% of normal snowpack. There is no water to replenish already dangerously low reservoirs, so no water for farmers.   Continue reading “How to Beat Coming Killer Food Shortages”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that police may search a home without a warrant when two occupants disagree about allowing officers to enter, and the resident who refuses access is then arrested.

The justices declined to extend an earlier ruling denying entry to police when the occupants disagree and both are present.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the court’s 6-3 decision holding that an occupant may not object to a search when he is not at home.   Continue reading “Supreme Court Makes Big Decision On When Cops Can Enter Your Home”

When Army Sgt. Jayson Williams deployed to Iraq in 2003, he was a healthy 33-year-old who enjoyed the outdoors, running and playing with his son.

When he returned home, he found he couldn’t do routine chores without becoming exhausted or needing to take deep breaths.

He deployed twice more, and his condition worsened. First thought to be emphysema, his diagnosis later was changed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. And after having an invasive lung biopsy, he received even grimmer news — constrictive bronchiolitis, an irreversible lung disease that robs a patient of lung function.   Continue reading “Study: Soil Dust Suspected in Illnesses Among Iraq Vets”

After more than a decade of feeding the homeless in Columbia, South Carolina, one group’s tradition could be in danger of ending as the city begins enforcing rules to limit the gathering of large groups in public parks.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (INTELLIHUB) — Former National Bank of Commerce CEO James Stuart Jr. was found dead, the morning of Feb. 19. A family spokesman did not say what caused the death. This brings the total of banker deaths in recent weeks to 9, and like the other recent deaths, this one comes with no explanation.

In 1969, he joined Citibank in New York City, where he worked as a loan officer. In 1973, he was named executive vice president of First Commerce Bancshares, a holding company that owned Nebraska Bank of Commerce and six other banks. He became the holding company’s chairman and CEO in 1978 and assumed top leadership of NBC in 1985, The Journal Star reported.   Continue reading “Update: Trail of dead bankers reaches Arizona, death count is now at 9”

Over the last decade, America has quietly expanded its military presence throughout Africa in an attempt to counter Chinese and other emerging nations’ influence, while consolidating control over critical strategic resources and trade routes.

The United States, like its allies Britain and France, has long maintained influence and indirect control in Africa through financial institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and African Development Bank. It has exerted political influence using aid organizations such as USAID and NGOs like the National Endowment for Democracy, Freedom House and others.   Continue reading “US expands military net over Africa, checking China’s influence”

The 2001 bombing and invasion of Afghanistan has been presented to World public opinion as a “Just War”, a war directed against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, a war to eliminate “Islamic terrorism” and instate Western style democracy.

The economic dimensions of  the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT) are rarely mentioned. The post 9/11 “counter-terrorism campaign” has served to obfuscate the real objectives of the US-NATO war.   Continue reading ““The War is Worth Waging”: Afghanistan’s Vast Reserves of Minerals and Natural Gas”

There are a number of questions surrounding the high profile arrest of the Mexican drug lord known as El Chapo Guzman.  Not surprisingly, none of these questions are being asked by anybody in the corporate controlled media.  Instead, they are acting like this was just a straight forward arrest which is curious considering Guzman’s history.  Guzman was said to be the man in charge of the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel which has been called one of the most powerful drug cartels not just in Mexico but the entire world.   The cartel has historically maintained close ties to the United States government which is one of the primary reasons why it has grown into such a successful business enterprise.  None of this history is being discussed giving people a completely false notion of what’s really going on.   Continue reading “Arrest of Obama’s Business Partner Sinaloa Drug Cartel Head El Chapo Guzman Was Likely Faked”
