U.S.-EU Trade Pact Accelerates Economic and Political IntegrationThe New American – by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

Negotiators in Washington, D.C. are working on a trade pact this week, and it isn’t the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Representatives from the United States and the European Union are hammering out the details of a purported trade pact called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Despite its name, this bundle of commercial compromises has little to do with trade and a lot to do with the slow transfer of sovereignty to bodies of globalists outside the United States.   Continue reading “U.S.-EU Trade Pact Accelerates Economic and Political Integration”

A gunman opened fire at a Reno hospital Monday afternoon killing one person and critically injuring two others before taking his own life in an attack believed to have not been entirely random.

The Periled Sea

Fifty-one crew members of the USS Ronald Reagan say they are suffering from a variety of cancers as a direct result of their involvement inOperation Tomodachi, a U.S. rescue mission in Fukushima after the nuclear disaster in March 2011. The affected sailors are suing Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), alleging that the utility mishandled the crisis and did not adequately warn the crew of the risk of participating in the earthquake relief efforts.     Continue reading “U.S. Navy Sailors Sue Over Fukushima Cancers”

Protecting public health shouldn’t be this hard. When it comes to chemical safety, Congress should shift the burden of proof from regulators to manufacturers. A recent survey conducted by researchers at the U.S. Geographic Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found traces of 18 unregulated chemicals in drinking water from more than one third of U.S. water utilities. Of the 21 total chemicals found, researchers discovered among them 11 perfluorinated chemicals, an herbicide, two solvents, caffeine, an antibacterial chemical, a metal and an antidepressant.    Continue reading “Widespread Contaminants in Drinking Water Across U.S.”

Doing a handstand should be no problem for this guy.

A Chinese man had his right hand grafted to his ankle for more than a month following an an accident.

Xiao Wei, of China’s Hunan province, severed the hand at work in November, the Metro reported. His co-workers were able to retrieve the hand, which doctors said they would be able to reattach — just not immediately.   Continue reading “Hand Attached To Ankle In Emergency Procedure In China”

worthmanThe Daily Sheeple – by Kimberly Paxton

When Katie Worthman was a little girl in Austria, she witnessed firsthand Adolph Hitler’s rise to power and the Soviet communist occupation that followed.  She also witnessed, for decades, the distortions of the media when it came to the reporting of the events.

From her eyewitness perspective, Worthman said that the whole thing didn’t happen overnight, in a brutal attack, like the media portrays it, but rather, it evolved into a dictatorship gradually, over a period of a few years.  Hitler didn’t come across as someone evil, to be feared, initially.  ”In the beginning, Hitler didn’t look like, or talk like a monster at all. He talked like an American politician.”   Continue reading “Eyewitness to Hitler Warns Americans: “Keep your guns. Keep your guns and buy more guns””

In another spectacular embarrassment for the African National Congress-South African Communist Party regime ruling South Africa, media outlets around the world reported that the bogus “sign-language interpreter” who stood just a few feet from Obama at Nelson Mandela’s memorial participated in a brutal mob attack, complete with barbaric “necklacing.” The infamous ANC murder and torture tactic, publicly endorsed by Mandela’s second wife Winnie to “liberate” the nation, involves placing a gasoline-filled tire around a victim’s neck before setting it ablaze and watching the target die a horrifying death.   Continue reading “Fake Interpreter at Mandela Memorial Implicated in Brutal Murders”

A five year old boy terrorized a school in Gaston County, North Carolina when he made a “gun gesture” with his hand during a playground game of “army”.

Tech Dirt – by Mike Masnick

Daniel Drezner has a fairly incredible short blog post over at Foreign Policy magazine about his experience visiting the NSA as the organization is seeking to ramp up its PR campaign about how it’s not actually evil. We’ve already covered the 60 Minutes debacle, but in many ways this piece is just as enlightening, as he notes just how incredibly tone deaf NSA officials appear to be — unable to understand why people are upset about what they’re doing.   Continue reading “Tone Deaf NSA Officials Tell Reporter It’s Time To Reform The First Amendment”

A widely circulated image of an Al-Nusra fighter in Northern Syria. A highly sophisticated chemical riot control grenade can be seen, indicating outside state-sponsorship. This image and others, was the focus of a number of Syria weapons watch websites speculating whether or not the rebels had chemical weapons capabilities.Levant Report

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh wrote an extensive investigative piece last week featured in the London Review of Books, which details the Obama administration’s “cherry-picking” of intelligence related to the August 21 Damascus chemical attack. “Whose sarin?” was originally intended for the Washington Post, but neither the Post nor Hersh’s usual New Yorker Magazine published it – presumably because its allegations and conclusions are too explosive and embarrassing for those already heavily invested in the accepted narrative of D.C. official sources. Read the following bombshell revelation from the first paragraph:   Continue reading “Confirmed in mainstream sources: Syrian rebels possess and have used Chemical Weapons”

Mediaite – by Noah Rothman

On Friday, Colorado’s Arapahoe High School was put on lockdown while a student armed with a shotgun took over the school in an attempt to confront a teacher who he believed had wronged him. The student, identified as 18-year-old Karl Pierson, took his own life before he could be taken into custody.

In a profile on the shooter in the Denver Post which focused on his “strong political beliefs,” several of Pierson’s classmates offered their impressions of the shooter. One of the shooter’s classmates described him as a “very opinionated socialist.” Shortly after that post was published, however, that description was edited out. The current copy simply describes him as “very opinionated.”   Continue reading “Denver Post Stealth Edits Out ‘Socialist’ from Profile of Arapahoe School Shooter”
