Did you know that the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association, one of the biggest lobbies in America, is currently urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to define “natural” on food packages because it intends to petition for genetically modified foods to be allowed in packages that bear that label?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Five years ago the Air Force considered a series of proposals to boost morale and fix performance and security lapses in its nuclear missile corps, according to internal emails and documents obtained by The Associated Press. But many fell short or died on the vine, and now, with the force again in crisis, it’s retracing those earlier steps.
The new effort is more far-reaching, on a tighter timetable and backed by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. So it appears to hold more promise for an Air Force under scrutiny after a variety of embarrassing setbacks and missteps raised questions about whether some of the world’s most fearsome weapons are being properly managed.

ATLANTA (AP) — The city dodged the first punch of a dangerous winter storm Tuesday, but forecasters warned of a potentially “catastrophic” second blow in a thick layer of ice that threatened to bring hundreds of thousands of power outages and leave people in their cold, dark homes for days.
The streets and highways in metro Atlanta were largely deserted as people in the South’s business hub heeded advice from officials to hunker down at home, especially after the snow jam two weeks ago saw thousands of people stranded on icy, gridlocked roads for hours when 2 inches of snow fell.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington has become the latest state to halt executions, with Gov. Jay Inslee issuing a moratorium on the death penalty for as long as he’s in office.
The first-term Democrat said during Tuesday’s announcement that he hopes it will enable officials to “join a growing national conversation about capital punishment.” Inslee said he came to the decision after months of review and meetings with victims’ families, prosecutors and law enforcement.

The coal slurry spill in West Virginia Tuesday morning wasn’t nearly as bad as this one in Inez, Kentucky, 11 years ago, but the risk is always there, especially when regulators don’t regulate. Officials of the state’s Department of Environmental Protection don’t yet know how much coal slurry has leaked from a facility in Kanawha County, West Virginia. But a DEP spokesman characterized it as “significant.”
It has already blackened Fields Creek not far from where it empties into the Kanawha River. State officials and those at West Virginia American Water say the spill is no threat to drinking water supplies. Indeed, Jimmy Gianato, the director of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management at the state’s Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety, said: “I don’t think there’s really anything to it. It turned out to be much of nothing.” Continue reading “‘Significant’ spill of coal slurry taints creek in West Virginia”
Atlanta residents ransacked neighborhood grocery stores in frantic preparation for their second major snowstorm of the year, waging fights over food items and leaving destruction and empty shelves in their wake, a stunning precursor to what will ensue once a major crisis impacts the U.S.
What’s the difference between an arm-chair survivalist and the real deal? The difference between someone who could get by for a few weeks and someone who could thrive indefinitely?
One word – action.
I was lucky enough to meet someone who is the real deal recently. Mark is a long-term survivalist, and he graciously answered about a million questions about his lifestyle. The end result was, I learned a lot, including how little I actually know in comparison to someone who lives an off-grid, non-consumer life every single day. Even better, I have permission to share this information with the rest of you in the form of a new series: Long-Term Survival.

Lake Superior hasn’t completely frozen over in two decades.
But an expert on Great Lakes ice says there’s a “very high likelihood” that the three-quadrillion-gallon lake will soon be totally covered with ice thanks to this winter’s record-breaking cold.
Talk of Texas reclaiming its independence as a republic again is normally brushed off as nonsense, and those who speak of it are often ridiculed. Times are changing though…
Consider the current trajectory of the Washington DC – ever downwards, and taking on new debt every month – debt that could never be paid back in a 1000 years… a number of states could soon benefit from cutting themselves loose from a toxic US economy and its directionless and highly draconian Federal Reserve banking system.

WASHINGTON – National security experts have expressed alarm over the announcement by Iran that it will position its warships off the coast of the United States, from where they could launch a nuclear warhead to explode at high altitude to create an electromagnetic pulse.
World domination is the focus of this “masterminded blueprint!” The graphic artists, who are two French men who call themselves, Bureau d’Etudes, designed these charts as an extensive outline of the major global infrastructure connections controlled by the world’s elite. These charts are valuable in helping researchers, activists, and patriots to aid in identifying individuals, organizations, and networks responsible for criminally collaborating to take away our sovereignty.
