CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Nicolas Maduro hastily gathered state governors and mayors Wednesday to discuss the country’s violent crime amid public outrage over the killing of a popular soap-opera actress and former Miss Venezuela.

In a rare conciliatory moment during the meeting, Maduro reached out and shook hands with the main opposition leader, Miranda state Gov. Henrique Capriles, whom he defeated by a razor-thin margin in the April presidential election.   Continue reading “Actress’ slaying puts Venezuela leaders on spot”

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Easy on the cinnamon! That advice from Denmark’s food authority has rankled pastry chefs whose cinnamon rolls were found to violate the European Union’s spice rules.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration recently discovered that Danish cinnamon rolls and twists contained more coumarin — a chemical compound in the most common variety of cinnamon — than EU rules allow. Excessive intake of coumarin can cause liver damage.   Continue reading “Danish cinnamon rolls too spicy for EU rules”

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Bats are dropping from trees, kangaroos are collapsing in the Outback and gardens are turning brown. While North America freezes under record polar temperatures, the southern hemisphere is experiencing the opposite extreme as heat records are being set in Australia after the hottest year ever.

Weather forecasters in Australia said some parts of the sparsely populated Pilbara region along the rugged northwest coast were approaching 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) on Thursday. The record high of 50.7 degrees Celsius (123.3 F) was set in 1960 in Oodnadatta, South Australia state.   Continue reading “No deep freeze: Australia swelters in heat wave”

Everyone’s talking about how cold it is. Record wind chills and temperatures give the weather folk on the TV something else to jaw jack about.

But, what is happening to the poor–whose old houses and drafty windows make heating old houses in this weather impossible. Or, where did the homeless go to escape the dangerous weather?  If it’s cold enough to freeze flowing water in a water fountain, what does that kind of cold do to human skin?  Continue reading “Officials Fear Homeless Might Be Dying In The Streets–Fountains Are Freezing, How Are Homeless Surviving?”

There have been reports of pockets and areas showing a 500 percent spike in radiation in California and times as high as 1,400 percent, but the question the MSM and local California media refuses to ask is what is the consistent readings along the beaches of California, what increased percentage is the new “norm,” for them?

In the video below anchored by David Knight, he shows a crew, including JaKari Jackson, with a Geiger counter walking along the California beach and their findings are consistently high, at times spiking to 1,200 times what local officials publicly claim to be safe and normal levels.   Continue reading “Cali Geiger Readings Consistently 10X ‘Normal’ Levels”

Urban Combatives

VEHEMENCE.

Definition:
The Oxford English dictionary defines vehemence as showing a strong and intense feeling of demonstrative aggression. This has also been referred to as your killer instinct or the Gemini principle and Sigmund Freud called your ‘It’ Factor. This intense source of energy exists in all of us and is indeed an essential piece of the puzzle that goes hand in hand with the combative mindset that then create the WILLINGNESS to step up and do what ever it takes to win the fight. Everyone’s access point is set at a variable level. What may trigger this instinct in some people may not be enough in others. Continue reading “W.E. Fairbairn’s Combative Concepts”

Ammunition dealers haven’t been told by state police when they’ll need to conduct background checks to comply with the NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Act, because a statewide records database needed to do so is still under construction.

North country dealers, who are already combating higher ammunition costs, say they are frustrated with how the state has left them in limbo about the background checks, which are expected to drive the already-steep price of ammunition even higher.   Continue reading “Lack of Timetable for Ammunition Background Checks Leaves New York Dealers in Limbo”

Folk don’t need ‘the weatherman’ to tell them what it’s doing outside.  They can just look out the window.

If you live in a small town or village and want to know what Mother Nature’s up to 30 miles down the road, email or telephone someone you know—or with today’s technology, even someone you don’t know.

The weather has been the main topic of conversation for centuries.   Continue reading “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”

Direct investment’ has been redefined and it is this direct directive by corporates that has forced Western political leaders to advocate military interventions of the immoral and unethical nature we see unfolding before us. All these compilations of war crimes, abuses etc are nothing but a sham to give a touch of ‘we did justice’ to the injustice taking place. The fact is military interventions are happening primarily for the economic interests of not the country invading by the corporate lobbyists who are waiting to land and plunder invaded nations. It is not foreign invasion it is corporate invasion that is taking place and national leaders/governments are getting eliminated for standing in the way of that quest.   Continue reading “Military Interventions are ordered by Corporates not politicians/Governments”

It’s Never to Protect Us From Bad Guys

No matter which government conducts mass surveillance, they also do it to crush dissent, and then give a false rationale for why they’re doing it.

For example, the U.S. Supreme Court noted in its 1965 Stanford v. Texas opinion (footnotes omitted):   Continue reading “500 Years of History Shows that Mass Spying Is Always Aimed at Crushing Dissent”

It’s likely no longer a surprise that companies collect location data from cars’ onboard navigation and through devices. But a government report detailed that these companies might not be doing enough to protect people’s privacy and are not always telling consumers when their data is being used for purposes other than location-based services.   Continue reading “Gov’t Report: Car Companies Collecting Data Through Your Car Aren’t Always Telling You What It’s Being Used For”

Stricken with bronchitis last month, I went to Walmart to pick up some medicine and alas, the first thing I saw was a motorcycle cop pulling over an old man in the Walmart parking lot. I guess this is the reward for buying our cheap Chinese slave goods. The man had made a left turn into the Walmart parking lot and was immediately stopped by an officer who wrote him a ticket for an illegal left turn. (You’d think they would put turn lanes in front of a Walmart?) Afterwards I went out and took some photos of the officer hiding in the bushes lying in wait for his next ‘customer.’ Video and photos of the cop are below. This was the Walmart located at Foothill Blvd. and Benson Ave in Upland, CA.   Continue reading “Walmart shoppers greeted by traffic tickets: Cops hiding in bushes ticket customers as they go in”

TPWD SCOUT TEAM DOING TRAING EXCERSICES AT CAMP BOWIE TRAING FACILITY.Lew Rockwell – by William Norman Grigg

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has a newly minted SWAT team. To be sure, the agency maintains that this “cadre of specialty teams” will focus on search-and-rescue missions. However, the way Game Warden Cullen Stakes is dressed in the photo above makes it pretty clear that he’s not getting ready to rescue people who have been stranded by floods, or have gotten lost in the woods.

Among the TPWD’s specialized units is the “Scout Team,” a group of 25 wardens who “have received a variety of training and can be used in border operations, dignitary protection, or any form of high-risk law enforcement, such as serving felony arrests or hostage situations,” explains Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine.   Continue reading “Texas Game Wardens Prepare for War”
