The price of America’s drone war is normally borne in silence by nameless victims in distant lands left to pick up the pieces. RT’s Lucy Kafanov visited Yemen to put a human face to a community forever changed by yet another anonymous strike from above.

“One drone changed this sleepy farming village forever. Less than an hour from Yemen’s capital, Khawlan is far removed from Al-Qaeda’s operations. But without warning it was thrust into the war on terror,” RT’s Lucy Kafanov, who visited the community ravaged by a drone attack, reports.   Continue reading “US drone strike rips Yemeni community apart”

Taking into consideration they now consider america the battlefield… I FIND THIS EXTREMELY DISTURBING. Post on your sight for everyone to line their space where they keep their “Tools” with sheet metal… So no images can be taken from these satellites. Or bury them.

The U.S. Air Force plans to launch a $226 million mission aboard a Minotaur rocket Tuesday to reshape how deployed forces receive battlefield imagery from space, a breakthrough in the Pentagon’s program to field tactical satellites on smaller budgets and faster schedules.   Continue reading “Tactical military satellite due for launch on Minotaur rocket”

Heritage hog farmer Mark Baker sued the State of Michigan when its Department of Natural Resources arbitrarily ordered him to kill his pigs in late 2011.

After two years of stalling, the state now has moved his trial from his home county to the state capital, where a panel of four appellate judges – hand-selected by the state – will hear his case.

The Department of Natural Resources declared Baker’s pasture-raised pigs to be an invasive species of wild boar essentially because they were raised outdoors rather than in a confinement animal feeding operation.  Continue reading “Courts Go Hog Wild in Michigan”

According to a whistleblower that has recently come forward, Census employees have been faking and manipulating U.S. employment numbers for years.  In fact, it is being alleged that this manipulation was a significant reason for why the official unemployment rate dipped sharply just before the last presidential election.  What you are about to read is incredibly disturbing.  The numbers that the American people depend upon to make important decisions are being faked.  But should we be surprised by this?  After all, Barack Obama has been caught telling dozens of major lies over the past five years.  At this point it is incredible that there are any Americans that still trust anything that comes out of his mouth.  And of course it is not just Obama that has been lying to us.  Corruption and deception are rampant throughout the entire federal government, and this has been the case for years.  Now that some light is being shed on this, hopefully the American people will respond with overwhelming outrage and disgust.   Continue reading “Fake Employment Numbers – And 5 More Massive Economic Lies The Government Is Telling You”

SANFORD — A beleaguered George Zimmerman walked out of the Seminole County Jail on Tuesday, free on bail from his latest brush with the law, an ugly domestic-violence episode that has turned uglier.

Assistant State Attorney Lymary Munoz disclosed that not only had Zimmerman’s girlfriend accused him of pointing a shotgun at her and breaking furniture Monday, she also told authorities that he tried to choke her a week and a half ago.   Continue reading “George Zimmerman granted $9,000 bond, released from jail”

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have released new guidelines to address escalating rates of heart attack and stroke among adult populations. But rather than encourage people to stop eating refined sugars and processed flours, two of the biggest culprits responsible for high cholesterol and atherosclerosis, these Big Pharma-backed groups are pushing to more than double the number of people currently taking statin drugs.   Continue reading “Cardiologists on Big Pharma kickbacks release new statin drug guidelines in effort to double prescriptions”

Mass hysteria is reverberating throughout the mainstream media following a relatively minor outbreak of meningitis at Princeton University in New Jersey. As you may already know, officials at the school have responded to seven identified cases of the illness by considering a call for all students to be offered an unapproved meningitis vaccine from Europe. But here to bring reason to the situation is Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO, AOBNMM, ABIHM, who rightly points out in a recent blog posting that, like most others, this latest mass vaccination campaign lacks both rational thought and scientific merit.   Continue reading “What you should know about Princeton’s unapproved meningitis vaccine push”

Eating fish is supposed to be good for you, but between Fukushima, farmed fish fed GMOs, and water pollution, there aren’t too many fish left that are not hazardous to your health. There are alarming and potential drawbacks of consuming certain species of fish and Tilapia is one of them.

Health experts typically recommend to consume fish with high levels ofomega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are plentiful in wild Alaskan salmon, particularly sockeye salmon. Wild salmon from Alaska is also less likely to contain mercury and organic contaminants than other species. Less expensive choices are sardines and herring, all of which provide omega-3s and are less likely to be contaminated with PCBs than larger carnivorous fish such as tuna.   Continue reading “Why You Should Avoid Consuming Tilapia”

America’s top central banker has given his cautious blessing to bitcoin, the virtual currency that famously requires no central bank. 

In a letter ahead of today’s congressional hearings, US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke mostly distanced himself from virtual currencies, saying the Fed “does not necessarily have authority to directly supervise or regulate these innovations or the entities that provide them to the market.” But he also said that bitcoin and its ilk “may hold long-term promise, particularly if the innovations promote a faster, more secure and more efficient payment system.”   Continue reading “Ben Bernanke’s letter to Congress: Bitcoin and other virtual currencies “may hold long-term promise””
