If this photo does not speak volumes about the calamitous  effects related to reckless ‘nuclear testing’, then mere words are impotent in describing what really happens in the wake of such atomic explosions.

“When Prometheus stole fire from heaven, Zeus took vengeance by presenting Pandora to Epimetheus, Prometheus’ brother. With her, Pandora was given a beautiful jar – with instructions not to open it under any circumstance. Impelled by her curiosity (given to her by the gods), Pandora opened it, and all evil contained therein escaped and spread over the earth. She hastened to close the container, but the whole contents had escaped, except for one thing that lay at the bottom – the Spirit of Hope named Elpis.”
(Per Wikipedia – Pandora’s box)   Continue reading “How Nuclear Weaponry became the bane of human existence”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The fired chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander was expected Thursday in federal court after the aide’s arrest on probable cause for possession and distribution of child pornography, authorities said.

Ryan Loskarn was a rising star who had spent the past decade working his way up to increasingly important posts in the U.S. House and then the Senate.

According to a filing with the U.S. District Court in Washington Thursday, police used a ram to enter Loskarn’s home the day before, and noticed that Loskarn put something on the ledge outside his window. It turned out to a portable hard drive with videos depicting child pornography, according to the filing.   Continue reading “Fired US Sen. Alexander staffer expected in court”

It’s kind of one of those pictures that are “worth a thousand words,” don’t you think? What you’re looking at is Obama onstage with media mogul and Israeli dual national Haim Saban, who has stated previously, “I’m a one issue guy, and my issue is Israel.” The photo was taken last weekend at the Saban Forum, held in Washington. During the event Saban and Obama appeared together for what was billed as a “conversation” on the Middle East, but basically it was a one-on-one press conference—with Saban doing the grilling and Obama doing the answering. Do the facial expressions in the photo, the body language, suggest anything to you—like for instance which of the two figures is dominant and which is submissive?   Continue reading “Who is the Boss and Who is the Servant in this Photo?”

Last week, we posted an article about a 1912 book
of Jewish Genealogy written in German. A Slovakian reader
kindly translated the entry on the Rothschilds who spearheaded the
NWO and were considered “the king of the Jews.”
Alas, no smoking guns but it does describe their progenitors,
their wealth and how they were perceived 100-years-ago.   Continue reading “Meyer Amschel Rothschild was an Orphan”

In a letter sent late Wednesday, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa reminded Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that obstructing a congressional investigation is a crime.

Issa’s Committee has been looking into the details of how Obamacare was implemented, along with the major problems with Healthcare.gov and has requested a number of documents from HHS, none of which he’s received. The documents requested pertain to companies hired by HHS to build and operate Healthcare.gov.   Continue reading “Issa to Sebelius on Healthcare.gov Probe: Failing to Turn Over Info is Criminal Obstruction of Justice”

Trust in the federal government is declining to record lows while the Obama administration uses overbearing, imperious authority to suppress political dissent and intimidate his opposition, says author Angelo Codevilla.

In 2003, former Secretary of Clinton Hillary Clinton said that dissent is patriotic.   Continue reading “Codevilla: Obama’s targeting of his political enemies erodes trust in government”

The failure of prosecutors to divulge exculpatory evidence in criminal cases has reached epidemic proportions, the 9th Circuit’s top judge wrote Tuesday.

Reacting to the federal appeals court’s refusal to reconsider the case of man convicted in 2003 for possessing Ricin with intent to use it as a weapon, Chief Judge Alex Kozinski stated that an absence of “professional discipline” and a lack of real consequences has loosed “an epidemic of Brady violations abroad in the land.”   Continue reading “Judge: The failure of prosecutors to divulge exculpatory evidence has reached epidemic proportions”

You’d think that social welfare groups would promote, well, social welfare causes. When you hear the phrase “social welfare organization,” you might think of public advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union or the Human Rights Campaign.

In reality, a growing number of these nonprofit organizations are less focused on promoting social welfare and more interested in pumping millions of dollars worth of anonymous donations into politics.   Continue reading “Here’s the Shady Way So-called “Nonprofits” Are Funneling Millions Into Politics”

On Tuesday, conservative news outlets in the United States decided that the best way to commemorate the life of Nelson Mandela, and to report on the memorial services in his honor, was to manufacture a controversy about an AFP photo of President Barack Obama shooting a selfie with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. According to Fox News, the “international incident” was so bad that, “The tsk-tisk-ing could be heard across continents.”   Continue reading “8 Photos You Didn’t See From Obama’s Trip to South Africa”
