CHICAGO (AP) — Thousands of pages of documents showing how the Archdiocese of Chicago handled the sexual abuse of children by priests will be made public Tuesday, providing the broadest look yet into the details of what the church knew and did — or didn’t do — about the scandal.

The archdiocese, one of the largest and most influential in the U.S., handed over last week more than 6,000 pages of documents to victims’ attorneys, who said they will show the archdiocese concealed abuse for decades, including moving priests to new parishes where they molested again.   Continue reading “Sex abuse files on 30 Chicago priests going public”

An explosion that brought down part of an animal feed processing plant in Omaha on Monday morning killed 2 people and seriously injured 10 others, authorities said.

The search for bodies in the crippled International Nutrition plant progressed slowly Monday and had to be suspended in the evening. Omaha Police Lt. Darci Tierney said all 38 of the workers who were in the building at the time had been accounted for, so the death toll wasn’t expected to grow.   Continue reading “2 deaths confirmed in Omaha plant explosion”

Since 2010, our waters have been contaminated by chemicals that seem to be at first glance, “accidents”. But what if they were not accidents but planned to make it appear that way? What are the chances of all of these chemical accidents happening one after the other for the past 4 years but before that, there were never any problems. One can only assume that since there is no accountability in our government, the corporate elite can have as many “accidents” as they so desire without impunity.

In 2010, a BP oil rig blew up and spilled an enormous amount of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Weeks later, the beaches all along the Gulf coast were filled with tar and dead fish and birds. After stopping the spill, BP used a chemical to dissolve the oil from the water supply. Continue reading “Are the Corporate Elite Secretly Attempting to Contaminate our Rivers and Water supply?”

ObamaCare is now officially a punishment. Unofficially it was a punishment for the middle class, the self-employed and small businesses. But now the ObamaCare punishment is being extended to a voting base that is reliably 3/4 Democrat.   Continue reading “ObamaCare Is So Awful Prisons are Enrolling Murderers In It”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Certain states are considering legislation that would criminalize helping the National Security Agency, but ironically, none other than the U.S. Constitution might put a stop to that.

Two days before President Obama was scheduled to announce reforms to NSA’s collection activities, lawmakers in Washington state last week joined the growing chorus of state legislators across the country looking to rein in the agency’s powers with whatever legal tools were at their disposal.   Continue reading “U.S. Constitution could keep state officials from going to jail for helping NSA”

(AP) — The Democratic mayor of a town severely flooded by Superstorm Sandy said Sunday that she was told an ultimatum tying recovery funds to her support for a prime real estate project came directly from Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a claim a Christie spokesman called “categorically false.”

Don’t mistake that sad face as an American Patriot – that is the face of a man who has turned against his Country. No real tears folks – he’s laughing all the way to the back while we’re trying to hold down two part jobs and put food on our tables.

Over 100 million American workers are on John Boenher’s hit list – that seems to be a very rash statement. John Boehner, Cantor Ryan and Goodlatte have placed the amnesty issue on the front burner – that’s reality.    Continue reading “100 Million Americans on J. Boehner’s Hit List”

It’s not a stretch to suggest that Americans are over medicated. In 2011 doctors across the nation wrote an astounding four billion medical prescriptions, amounting to an average of 13 prescriptions for every  man, woman and child in the United States.

In the next few weeks the American Psychiatric Associations is releasing their updated fifth version their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); the so-called ‘bible’ of psychiatric diagnoses. The new manual promises to take mental illness and the use of prescription drugs to a whole new level.   Continue reading “YOU ARE CRAZY: New Psychiatric Guidelines Target Hoarding, Child Temper Tantrums, and a Host of Other “Illnesses””
