Short my foot. If this was to go down we would be in it and it will not be short.

China is practicing for a “short, sharp war” with Japan.

That is the assessment of a top U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, who told colleagues that China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is currently conducting training exercises in a practice scenario in which the military takes the Senkaku Islands, near Taiwan.   Continue reading “China preps military for ‘short, sharp war’ with Japan, US Navy analyst says”

A sheet of plastic laid over a clothesline. A mini-fortress of milk crates stacked under a tree. A thin mattress on a flimsy crate lying in a dark tunnel.

On the edge of Baltimore’s woodlands, dozens of the city’s transients live in makeshift homes which they consider safer than homeless shelters.    Continue reading “Baltimore’s people of the woods: Inside the hidden homeless camps made of milk crates, wooden doors and tarps on the outskirts of town”

Liberalism often works by starting with an arguably good thing and taking it to such an extreme that it becomes pernicious. Public sector pensions are a prime example. Few would deny retired police officers either a pension or a savings plan. But in liberal states greed has gotten completely out of control. From Ventura County, California:   Continue reading “Retired Sheriff: $276,000 per Year Pension Is Not Enough”

Dress newsroom monitors of the Obama Regime’s FCC in jackboots and military caps when they come to invade because the “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs” (CINS) they proposed last May is truly all about image.

Why are they sending monitors into the newsrooms at this particular juncture of the Fundamental Transformation of America?   Continue reading “It’s Talk Show Radio the FCC is REALLY After”

America, you are seeing your own future.   Continue reading “World Media Silent As Venezuela Implodes In State-Sponsored Terrorism”

More research needed into impact of chemical constituents leaching into foodstuffs.

The synthetic chemicals used in the packaging, storage, and processing of foodstuffs might be harmful to human health over the long term, warn environmental scientists in a commentary in theJournal of Epidemiology and Community Health.   Continue reading “Food Packaging Chemicals Harm Human Health And Damage Environment”

Refugee Resettlement Watch – by Ann Corcoran

“Hundreds?” Well, how could that be I wondered, since we are constantly reminded that the unwelcoming US has only admitted a hundred or so Syrian refugees.  It turns out that “hundreds” of those being granted ‘temporary protected status‘ are choosing to go to established Syrian communities, like those in North Jersey, to be with their people.

I continually find it amusing that no one ever questions the desire of ‘immigrants’ to congregate with their ethnic and religious groups in certain sections of cities or states, yet if any people of European background (you or me) would say I want to live with my kind of people we would be excoriated by the diversity-is-beautiful crowd as racist, rednecked boobs!  But, I digress.   Continue reading “Syrians by the “hundreds” arriving in North Jersey, thousands more expected in 2015 and 2016”

I live where they switch between winter gas (Benzine, short molecule chains) and summer gas (pure, long molecule chains).

1. Which is the best season to buy/rotate my gas supply for storage?
2. Also, under normal circumstances premium octane is a waist of money or even bad for my machines, but is it better for storage?   Continue reading “Letter: Buying Gas for Storage”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

“If Ukraine breaks apart, it will trigger a war,” warns a senior Russian government official. The FT reports Russia is prepared to fight a war over the Ukrainian territory of Crimea (where the largest ethnic Russian population lives and they have a military base). Conjuring images of the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, the official told the FT, “they will lose Crimea first [because] we will go in and protect [it], just as we did in Georgia.” The Kremlin regards the Georgian conflict as the biggest stand-off between Russia and the west since the end of the Cold War and it has fed determination in Moscow to push back against what it believes to be western attempts to contain Russia.   Continue reading “Russia Prepared To Fight War Over Ukraine, Senior Government Official Admits”

This week The Wall Street Journal reported that, Soros Fund Management has doubled up a bet that the S&P 500 is headed for a fall.  As many of our readers know George Soros is famous for betting on crashing markets, and more often then not, he wins.  Due to this reputation, when Soros makes a bet, people start paying attention.

Just over 2 decades ago Soros made his most famous investment by shorting the British pound and pocketing a billion dollars in the process.   Continue reading “Soros makes $1.3 billion bet on stock market collapse”

Not only is Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide (also known as glyphosate) causing cancer, birth defects, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and more, (read more about that here) it could also be shrinking the population of the North American monarch butterfly.

The World Wildlife fund announced that last year’s migration from Canada, to the United States and down to Mexico was the lowest it’s ever been since scientists began tracking them over twenty years ago. (1) In fact, a 43 percent drop has been measured compared to last year, that’s huge and very concerning.   Continue reading “Not Just Bees: Disappearence of Monarch Butterflies Linked To Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide”

Washington Examiner – by BYRON YORK

The First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…” But under the Obama administration, the Federal Communications Commission is planning to send government contractors into the nation’s newsrooms to determine whether journalists are producing articles, television reports, Internet content, and commentary that meets the public’s “critical information needs.” Those “needs” will be defined by the administration, and news outlets that do not comply with the government’s standards could face an uncertain future. It’s hard to imagine a project more at odds with the First Amendment.   Continue reading “New Obama initiative tramples First Amendment protections”

Anti-War – by John Pilger

Fifty years ago, E.P. Thompson’s The Making of the English Working Class rescued the study of history from the powerful. Kings and queens, landowners, industrialists, politicians and imperialists had owned much of the public memory. In 1980, Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States also demonstrated that the freedoms and rights we enjoy precariously – free expression, free association, the jury system, the rights of minorities – were the achievements of ordinary people, not the gift of elites.   Continue reading “‘Good’ War, ‘Bad’ War”

Yesterday self-proclaimed Satanist Miranda Barbour‘s father denied that his daughter was a satanic cult mass murderer. Dean Barbour’s nineteen year-old recently confessed to killing Troy LaFerrara and at least 22 others as part of her involvement in a satanic cult.http://news.yahoo.com/pa-craigslist-killing-suspect-39-dad-she-39-072205…

“Satanism is real,” Dean admitted, however. “It’s a growing cult that will go to great lengths to seize our children. You don’t have to be affiliated with the ‘Church ofSatan’ to worship him.” http://goo.gl/1V52Gm   Continue reading “Is society in denial of satanic cult mass murderers?”
