As long as their have been human societies, there have been criminals. Despite the best efforts of lawmakers and religions, humans can’t be trusted to do the right thing, even when we’re aware of the consequences. The prison system used to be a last resort, a place you sent people when other forms of punishment were ineffective. Now it’s grown into something much darker, and even less rehabilitative.   Continue reading “Shocking Facts About America’s For-Profit Prison Industry”

So, you’re dining out in a better class of restaurants tonight and, being health-conscious, you might be thinking that a better restaurant means better food and food that is better for you.

If you are one of millions of Americans who believe this to be true, you are mistaken, according to new data. In fact, in many cases, upscale food can be worse for you than eating a McBurger and McFries, as reported by Everyday Health:    Continue reading “Upscale restaurant food is more fattening than McDonalds”

Multinational pharmaceutical corporations are pressuring the U.S. government to directly block cheaper, generic varieties of life-saving drugs in India.

The Indian government is “reviewing patented drugs of foreign firms to see if so-called compulsory licenses, which in effect break exclusivity rights, can be issued for some of them to bring down costs,” according to a Reuters article published Thursday, which cites two senior government officials.   Continue reading “Big pharma lobbies to punish makers of affordable drugs”

Cops storm a house wearing masks covering their faces, dressed in military special forces-style black uniforms and battle helmets. They bust down the door using a battering ram, then rush the occupants, seizing and breaking one camera and preventing another from recording the remarkable scene.

What was the heinous and violent crime of which the intended target of the raid was charged? Murder? Rape?    Continue reading “Militarized Police: The Standing Army the Founders Warned About”

For more than 20 years, I and a few psychiatrists have felt like an embattled minority, because we have continued to insist that gays aren’t born that way.

For most of this (20th) century, we have considered this behavior aberrant…a pathology. We had patients who would seek out one sex partner after another-total strangers-on a single night, then come limping into our offices the next day to tell us how they were hurting themselves. Since we were in the business of helping people learn how not to keep hurting themselves, many of us thought we were quietly doing God’s work.   Continue reading “How America Went Gay”

While the ever distracted and perpetually preoccupied American public is just recovering from the onslaught of the Super Bowl and readying itself for two continuous weeks of the vicarious videotaped splendor of the Winter Olympics from Russia, ominous signs of the inevitable collapse of the American economic and social order continue to grow. Regrettably, very few of these signs are ever discussed on any of the business channels.

As far as the talking head pundits on Bloomberg, CNBC, and the Fox Business Channel are concerned, the ONLY index of American prosperity and well being is the stock market and nothing BUT the stock market.  It’s as simple as that for this little group of Wall Street sycophant shills.  “Stock market up – happy days are here again!  Having a bad month in equities (think January 2014 – S & P down 3.7%)…well that has to be only a slight correction and just a GREAT buying opportunity to get back into the market and prepare yourself to make even more money than last year.  After all, these markets hardly ever go down and if they do, it’s only a temporary occurrence, you see.  If you’re not IN…you can’t WIN!!!”   Continue reading “Danger Alert!!! 25 Signs that the US Middle Class is Facing Annihilation”

Catholic Pope Francis Bergoglio, Queen Elizabeth and top officials of the Jesuit Order have been charged with international child trafficking and cover up of crimes against children. An international Common Law court will begin prosecution 31 March 2014 in Brussels according to Kevin Annett of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State. www.itccs.org www.iclcj.com

In apparent retaliation, Annett was warned he could be issued an arrest warrant by Queen Elizabeth’s Privy Council office and the Canadian government. Annett’s apparent “crime” was heading successful prosecution of a 50,000 missing Canadian native children case. The Feb. 2013 Brussels court of six judges found 40 global elites guilty including Queen Elizabeth, former Catholic Pope Benedict Ratzinger and Canadian Prime Minister Brent Harper. http://guardianlv.com/2013/03/jd-arrest-warrant-issued-for-pope-francis-…   Continue reading “Pope Bergoglio, Queen Elizabeth charged for child trafficking?”

Sean Hannity may be making plans to leave New York after all. He has put his Long Island estate up for sale, asking $3.6 million, Newsday reports.

Hannity said on Jan. 20 he would leave his home state after Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on  a radio program that Republicans who are “right-to-life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay … have no place in the state of New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”   Continue reading “Hannity Leaving NY After All?

Edward Snowden used an inexpensive, readily available, Web crawler tool — also known as a spider — to methodically browse and index through a treasure trove of secret NSA files, The New York Times reported. 

The implication is that he didn’t personally search, sequentially or randomly, for the files he purloined. He appeared to have been interested in select material and used specific search terms— which focused in large part on U.S. military capabilities — in vacuuming secrets from the agency’s database.    Continue reading “Snowden Used Simple Web Tool to Devastate NSA”

The Pentagon is exploring the development of implantable probes that may one day help reverse some memory loss caused by brain injury.

The goal of the project, still in early stages, is to treat some of the more than 280,000 troops who have suffered brain injuries since 2000, including in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.   Continue reading “Brain Implants Hold Promise Restoring Combat Memory Loss”

Rather than twisting the political knife in the gaping wound that is Obamacare, House Republicans are off on a “comprehensive immigration reform” toot. The latest news has the Speaker putting off any action for now, and waiting until after the midterm elections in order not to anger the anti-amnesty base, and “to goose Latino turnout or to swing purple districts” in 2016, as political blogger Allahpundit put it. In other words, electoral timing rather than principle is determining what happens.   Continue reading “Republicans Go On an Immigration Reform Bender”

Edward Snowden, the former contractor at the National Security Agency took with him multiple “Doomsday” packages of information when he departed the country and began revealing how intensely the US Government is spying on its own citizens. He has the personal home info for all Elected Officials, Law Enforcement, Judges, Bankers, Corporate Boards of Directors and more!

At a classified briefing for members of Congress which took place on Wednesday, members found out that Snowden took with him:   Continue reading “Snowden downloaded entire roster of U.S. government”

Nanny dogs, meet the nanny state. Now keep apart, you two.

Six states are considering bills that would put an end to laws restricting dog ownership by breed. Called “breed-specific legislation” — or BSL — these laws most often target pit bull type dogs (which are said to have been called “nanny dogs”), often forcing people to choose between their pets and their homes. And most Americans think they’re bad laws. Bad laws!   Continue reading “Six More States May Outlaw Breed-Specific Legislation, Making Everything Better For Pit Bulls”

ATLANTA (AP) — Medical marijuana has been a non-starter in recent years in the Deep South, where many Republican lawmakers feared it could lead to widespread drug use and social ills. That now appears to be changing, with proposals to allow a form of medical marijuana gaining momentum in a handful of Southern states.

Twenty states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana, and this year powerful GOP lawmakers in Georgia and Alabama are putting their weight behind bills that would allow for the limited use of cannabis oil by those with specific medical conditions. Other Southern states are also weighing the issue with varying levels of support.   Continue reading “Medical Marijuana Gains Momentum In The Deep South”
