Texas Tribune – by Neena Satija and Jim Malewitz

A consumer advocacy group says it has documented more than 100 excavations of potential construction problems across a 250-mile stretch of the Keystone XL pipeline’s Texas portion, raising questions about the integrity of one of the the most controversial crude oil transportation projects in recent history, which stretches below more than 600 rivers and streams in the state.

The segment of the Keystone XL pipeline that will pipe crude oil from Cushing, Okla., to the oil refineries in Texas’ Gulf Coast is nearly complete, and the Canadian energy company Transcanada says the extension will come online this year or early next. Unlike the hotly contested northern segment of the pipeline, which connects Oklahoma to the tar sands in Alberta, Canada, the southern section doesn’t require federal approval because it does not cross any international boundaries.   Continue reading “Report Questions Keystone XL Pipeline’s Integrity”

MILFORD, Texas (AP) — In a story Nov. 15 about a pipeline fire, The Associated Press reported erroneously that a Chevron spokesman said the continued evacuation was a precaution over concerns over air quality. Spokesman Gareth Johnstone says the evacuation zone was being maintained as a precaution as work continued.

A corrected version of the story is below:   Continue reading “Correction: Texas-Pipeline-Explosion story”

KENNEDY AT LOVE FIELDIncog Man

Look, I can’t get in too deep right now on all the obfuscations, ignored or covered-up evidence and “red herrings” in the practically mandated government/media version of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. However, they will be a few necessary parts of the equation to touch on. What I really want to talk about is the shock to America’s brains fifty years ago on that horrible day and what’s been going down ever since.

America was completely traumatized over our young president getting murdered so suddenly. Kennedy was full of promise and his beautiful family had captivated the nation. Not only was JFK handsome and rugged, he had boatloads of charm, wit and intelligence. Plus, he seemed genuinely patriotic for a politician.   Continue reading “The Day America Was Murdered”

Alaa Wardi has created an impressive series of music videos using only his voice. If you didn’t know better, you’d think he’s using synthizers, bass guitars, and a drum machine in some of these, but no. Only his vocal chords.

A few weeks ago he made a spoof video about Saudi Arabia’s bizarre prohibition against woman drivers called No Woman, No Drive. I can’t promise you will laugh, but I sure did.   Continue reading “No Woman, No Drive”

Post image for The Brain “Sees” Objects That You Don’t PerceivePsy Blog – by Jeremy Dean

Every day, when you open your eyes in the morning, there is a huge flood of visual information from the external world into your mind.

Your brain edits this flood down to a trickle of things that are highly relevant: Where is the dressing-gown? Where is the curtain? Where is the door?

The rest of it–the state of the carpet, the shadows on the ceiling–all gets ignored.   Continue reading “The Brain “Sees” Objects That You Don’t Perceive”

The Rothschild-led international banking cartel learned long ago that it was much easier to brainwash people than to face off with them in open combat.

By now, most people are aware of the insurance-based pain Obamacare is inflicting on Americans.  The marketplace website is a failure of such ridiculous proportion that it is almost comical.  The “Affordable” Care Act is proving to be anything but affordable, with many would-be consumers experiencing sticker shock over the sky-high premiums, co-pays, and deductibles.  To add insult to injury, a lot of us won’t be able to “keep our plan” or “keep our doctor” as we were promised – no less than 29 times by Obama himself.

But there is a provision of Obamacare that has either been forgotten or neglected by the media amid the flurry of coverage.   Continue reading “Obamacare’s Food Police: The Provision No One is Talking About”

Momentum is growing in the campaign to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Yesterday, the TPP was dealt two blows. Each could be lethal but the TPP, and its Atlantic counterpart, called TAFTA, are not dead yet. It is time for the movement of movements that formed to oppose the TPP to stand in solidarity, defeat these agreements and end the era of rigged corporate trade.  Continue reading “The People Can Defeat the Trans-Pacific Partnership”

The Russian Foreign Minister has revealed that there are no real differences on practical issues between the six-party negotiators and Iran. What is needed now is to set down our understanding in a document, Sergey Lavrov told the Russian TVC channel.

“The negotiations with the Foreign Minister of Iran [Mohammad Javad Zarif] have confirmed that for the first time in many years the sextet of negotiators and Tehran are ready to truly seek common grounds instead of presenting mostly uncorrelated positions,” said the Russian FM in an interview to Postscriptum program.   Continue reading “No real dissent in nuclear talks between P5+1 and Iran – Lavrov”
