The chairman of a New Jersey legislative panel investigating the George Washington Bridge lane closures said Gov. Chris Christie’s top aides had engaged in a “cover-up” and the governor could be impeached if it is determined he was aware of efforts to use the bridge for political purposes.

“Using the George Washington Bridge, a public resource, to exact a political vendetta, is a crime,” New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who is spearheading the bridge probe, told NBC News on Saturday. “Having people use their official position to have a political game is a crime. So if those tie back to the governor in any way, it clearly becomes an impeachable offense.”   Continue reading “Democrat heading bridge probe says Christie could be impeached if he knew of closures”

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute reported last month that more than 800 of the giant sea cows died in 2013, which was the highest total on record since the institute began researching the mammals 40 years ago.

Locals say it’s far worse than what the national and international media are reporting.

Oregon natives confirmed to Infowars Friday that strange anomalies have sprung up along the Pacific coast in what amounts to further testimony supporting the fact the media is suppressing both the surge in extremely high radiation readings along the West Coast and the subsequent die off of sea life in the area.   Continue reading “Massive Die-Off of West Coast Sea Life Accelerates”

“I have no illusions about how hard it will be to achieve this objective, but for the sake of our national security and the peace and security of the world, now is the time to give diplomacy a chance to succeed,” Obama said in a written statement.   Continue reading “Obama: Iran nuclear deal starts Jan. 20”

What looks like an X-ray of a hand is actually the remains of a star that exploded 17,000 light-years away.

The astronomers who captured this image with a NASA space telescope call it the “Hand of God.”

I have recently learned that my site www.xn--e1aaoyck.tk (browsers translate to www.секрет.tk), which is an attempt to make an NSA proof search engine, has been blocked by many companies such as Facebook, Stumbleupon, and Best Buy for being unsafe or inappropriate. This is despite the fact that there is NO malicious content on the site and NO adult content… Unless you call freedom of speech inappropriate.

It first came to my attention when attempting to show a friend the site on a computer at Best Buy, whose content blocking software blocked the site, despite not blocking many other site (in fact it didn’t block ANY of the other sites I tried. I thought nothing of this, and just figured they block some unknown sites. Then a couple weeks later, I attempted to post a link to the site on a face book page that I am the admin of, and face book gave a block noticed saying I couldn’t post the link. Here is a screenshot:   Continue reading “NSA/Hacking Resistant Search Engine Blocked by Facebook, Stumble Upon, and Best Buy”
