The time has come to end presidential term limits, because continuing the restrictions on how long one can serve in the country’s highest office is bad for the United States, a university professor argued this week.   Continue reading “Presidential term limits: necessary and right, or bad for democracy?”

LONDON (AP) — A police helicopter crashed Friday night through the roof of a popular pub in Glasgow, sending injured revelers there to see a ska band fleeing through a cloud of dust in what witnesses called a scene of horror. Scotland’s leader warned that fatalities are likely.

Photos aired on local television showed what appeared to be the helicopter’s propeller sticking out of the top of the pub’s roof. Rescue workers swarmed the door of the pub and several fire trucks were on the scene.   Continue reading “Helicopter crashes into Glasgow pub roof”

STOCKHOLM (AP) — A comet that gained an earthly following because of its bright tail visible from space was initially declared dead after grazing the sun. Now, there is a sliver of hope that Comet ISON may have survived.

New images being analyzed Friday showed a streak of light moving away from the sun that some said could indicate it wasn’t game over just yet.

“It certainly appears as if there is an object there that is emitting material,” said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.   Continue reading “Did Comet ISON survive? Scientists see tiny hope”

Prosecutors celebrated when a jury in 2010 convicted three New Orleans police officers for their roles in the post-Hurricane Katrina killing of Henry Glover and the ensuing elaborate cover-up, which included burning his body in an attempt to mask what investigators said was a bad shot by a rookie cop.

Then-U.S. Attorney Jim Letten called the jury’s verdict “a positive moment for the city.” New Orleans’ top FBI agent at the time said he convictions were one of his proudest accomplishments.   Continue reading “Trial opens Monday for ex-NOPD officer charged with killing Henry Glover after Hurricane Katrina”

The secret back channel of negotiations between Iran and the United States, which led to this month’s interim deal in Geneva on Iran’s rogue nuclear program, has also seen a series of prisoner releases by both sides, which have played a central role in bridging the distance between the two nations, the Times of Israel has been told.

In the most dramatic of those releases, the US in April released a top Iranian scientist, Mojtaba Atarodi, who had been arrested in 2011 for attempting to acquire equipment that could be used for Iran’s military-nuclear programs.  Continue reading “‘US freed top Iranian scientist as part of secret talks ahead of Geneva deal’”

We all know it’s coming and for some of us, it’s already here. Gun confiscations and invasions into our homes will happen and to deny it is like an ostrich putting its head in a hole in hopes of hiding from it.

I have taken some time to compile some excerpts from the book, Total Resistance: Swiss Army Guide to Guerrilla Warfare and Underground Operations by Major H. von Dach Bern in order to explain just one of the ways they will come and how to be on the lookout and prepare for it and, through careful analysis of it, possibly find your own way to counter it.  Continue reading “How They Will Disarm Us and Search Our Homes”

Most of us associate the holiday with happy Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to a big feast.  And that did happen – once.

The story began in 1614 when a band of English explorers sailed home to  England with a ship full of Patuxet Indians bound for slavery. They left behind smallpox which virtually wiped out those who had escaped.  By the time the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay they found only one living Patuxet Indian, a man named Squanto who had survived slavery in England and knew their language.  He taught them to grow corn and to fish, and negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Nation. At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a great feast honoring Squanto and the Wampanoags.    Continue reading “The Real Story of Thanksgiving”

In what’s sure to fuel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s angst over the American-forged nuclear development deal with Tehran, the foreign minister of Iran said Friday that all further discussions will have to leave out Israel.

The nation’s state-run news agency, IRNA, quoted Mohammad Javad Zarif as saying that Iran “would not attend a meeting in which the Quds [or Jerusalem] occupy regime participates. We consider the Zionist regime as the biggest danger to the region and the world.”   Continue reading “Iran’s ultimatum for new nuclear talks: No ‘Zionist’ Israelis allowed”

San Pedro Sula hondurasBusiness Insider – by Pamela Engel, Christina Sterbenz AND Gus Lubin

Drug trafficking, gang wars, political instability, corruption, and poverty have combined to make Latin America by far the most homicidal region of the world.

The region has 40% of the world’s murders, despite having only 8 percent of the population, according to the U.N.

The highest murder rate of all is in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with 169 homicides per 100,000 people, according to a study published earlier this year by Mexico’s Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice. The ranking is based on 2012 data, except for San Pedro Sula and Distrito Central in Honduras, where authorities would not cooperate and 2011 data was used.    Continue reading “The 50 Most Violent Cities In The World”

The OPCW is now claiming they have a “technically feasible” plan to dump chemical weapons into the Mediterranean Sea reports say.

In what can only be described as a really bad idea, the organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is planning to destroy at least 1000 tones of the confiscated Syrian chemical weapon stockpile out at sea, which some fear will destroy delicate eco systems vital to sea and human life alike.    Continue reading “Sea Hosting 100-Million Year-Old Species to be Site of Syrian Chemical Weapons Stockpile Dump”
