Sushi restaurateur Kiyoshi Kimura paid 7.36 million yen (about $70,000) for a 507-pound (230-kilogram) bluefin tuna in the year’s celebratory first auction at Tokyo’s Tsukiji market on Sunday, just 5 percent of what he paid a year earlier despite signs that the species is in serious decline.

Kimura’s record winning bid last year of 154.4 million yen for a 222-kilogram (489-pound) fish drew complaints that prices had soared way out of line, even for an auction that has always drawn high bids. Kimura also set the previous record of 56.4 million yen at the 2012 auction.   Continue reading “Price Of Bluefin Tuna Nosedives At Tokyo Auction”

JP Morgan: Ponzi Schemer

Bernie Madoff has said all along that JP Morgan knew about – and knowingly profited from – his Ponzi schemes.

So JP Morgan has agreed to pay the government $2 billion to avoid investigation and prosecution.

While this may sound like a lot of money, it is spare sofa change for a big bank like JP Morgan.   Continue reading “JP Morgan Pays $2 Billion to Avoid Prosecution for Its Involvement In Madoff Ponzi Scheme”

If you are reading this article it is likely that you would consider yourself ‘awake’ and you may even consider yourself a ‘truther’.  You get your news from the alternative media and you pride yourself on being aware of what is going on in the world.  You know about the ongoing New World Order scheme and you aren’t embarrassed to say so.

That said, there’s a growing amount of information floating around out there concerning the New World Order – some of it accurate, much of it not so accurate.  I have noticed that much of the self-professing ‘truth movement’ is at the very least misguided, and unfortunately in many cases truthers are actually quite deceived.  I have often thought about why this is the case and in so doing I have noticed that there are several reasons why so much of the information I read regarding the New World Order is frankly so unreliable.   Continue reading “Choose Your Researchers Wisely”

The Daily Sheeple – by Chris Carrington

The polar vortex that is bringing bone numbing cold to much of the US is a weather phenomenon that is usually found at the poles and regions such as northern Canada that are close to the poles.

A polar vortex is a large scale cyclone that sits between the troposphere and the stratosphere, circulating the cold air around the polar regions. Very rarely do they ‘slip’ and move either north in the case of a South Pole vortex or south in the case of a North Pole vortex, and this is what has happened over the last few days.   Continue reading “What Exactly IS a Polar Vortex? 100,000,000 Americans Are Finding Out”

Remember the horrible starvation diet version of school lunches that Michelle Obama tried to mandate to help fix the obesity crisis among kids?

Well, the USDA, who is in charge of the federal lunch program, has finally waved the white flag of surrender and given up trying to enforce them.   Continue reading “Starving Students Rejoice as USDA Mercifully Ups the “Rations” Allowed by Michelle Obama’s Stingy School Lunch Guidelines”

Texas Nationalist Movement

Oh what a difference an election year makes!

‘Fed up with the federal government’s failure to stop the massive flow of illegal aliens, human trafficking and drug smuggling, Texas officials took matters into their own hands, bringing all of it to a screeching halt along the Rio Grande section of the U.S./Mexican border.   Continue reading “Texas Acts to Secure Its Own Border”

On Monday afternoon, the Senate confirmed Janet Yellen, 67, as new chairperson of the Federal Reserve — the first woman to take over the top spot in the 100-year history of the U.S. central bank, or any major central bank.

Second to Ben Bernanke since 2010, Yellen was Barack Obama’s pick for the Fed Chair. “Too many Americans still can’t find a job and worry how they’ll pay their bills and provide for their families,” she said at her White House nomination. “The Federal Reserve can help if it does its job effectively.”   Continue reading “She’s Confirmed: Janet Yellen Is First Woman Federal Reserve Chair”

Chicago’s strictest-in-the-nation law banning gun sales within the city is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Monday, saying the ban went “too far.”

The judge delayed the effect of the ruling to give the city time to file a response to the decision, Bloomberg reported.   Continue reading “Chicago’s Ban On Gun Sales Ruled Unconstitutional By Federal Judge”

Recently someone brought to my attention an article that appeared in The New York Times titled “Why Everyone Seems to Have Cancer” by George Johnson, author of the book The Cancer Chronicles.

Reading that New York Times article, this writer found many areas and issues that she could challenge or debate, but probably none is more prominent than the role of radioactive particulates in the atmosphere since the Manhattan Project, when the atomic bomb was ‘invented’ and whose radiation levels deliberately had been under-reported, as is happening now with Fukushima. Very few seem to give any credence to radiation being the cause of cancer. However, radiation in any form IS a cause of cancer.    Continue reading “Why Will Everyone in North America Get Cancer?”
