CNN recently took a wrong turn while reporting on a giant hornet outbreak in China by putting Hong Kong on the map — in South America.
By the looks of things, someone at the network seemed to think that the vibrant Asian city was in or near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Continue reading “CNN report on giant hornets puts Hong Kong in South America”

A Florida police officer, 267-pound Trooper Daniel Cole, was recently cleared of any wrongdoing by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Questions were raised when he tasered a 20 year old handcuffed girl in the back as she fled. The tasering was caught on video showing officer Cole firing the taser at the handcuffed Danielle Maudsley. Maudsley was a mere 100 pound, while Cole outweighed her at two and a half times her weight. She was clearly no threat to him, unless he expected to die from exhaustion chasing her a few yards.

One of the inconvenient truths about Obama is that his rhetoric rarely has any relationship with truth (e.g; purposeful Obamacare-related lies), this spying scandal being only the latest example.

We bring you an update from Sheriff Mack at the the Liberty County Courthouse in Florida:
Well, I was wrong! I never thought the case against Sheriff Nick Finch would make it to trial, but that is exactly what is going to happen,tomorrow morning, October 29, 2013 at 0900. (Happy Halloween, nothing could be creepier!) The charges against this good man have been so flimsy and frivolous that I was certain a trial would be out of the question. But the tyrants are moving forward with their agenda to stop Sheriffs in their tracks and to make them answerable to the State! This case, this abuse of authority, and the inherent injustice associated with this case, puts everything at stake that we all have fought so long for; the power and independence of the county sheriff and his duty to stand for individual liberties.

According to a recent Fox News poll, 73 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country, up 20 points from 2012. Americans sense that there’s a lot going wrong in our nation, but most don’t have a clue about the true nature of our problem. If they had a clue, most would have little stomach for what would be necessary to arrest our national decline. Let’s look at it.
Between two-thirds and three-quarters of federal spending, in contravention of the U.S. Constitution, can be described as Congress taking the earnings or property of one American to give to another, to whom it does not belong. Continue reading “Is There a Way Out?”
Article first appeared in the economicpolicyjournal:
California – I did have an interesting conversation with a salesman who sold night vision goggles to police SWAT teams. He said most of the training was aimed at battling terrorism. But then he added,“You know, the greater San Francisco area has more SWAT teams than any other part of the country.” Continue reading “Universities secretive SWAT teams are being trained by Israeli SWAT teams”

The kabuki theater that passes for governance in Washington D.C. reveals the profound level of ignorance shrouding this Empire of Debt in its prolonged death throes. Ignorance of facts; ignorance of math; ignorance of history; ignorance of reality; and ignorance of how ignorant we’ve become as a nation, have set us up for an epic fall. It’s almost as if we relish wallowing in our ignorance like a fat lazy sow in a mud hole. Continue reading “Culture of Ignorance”
Look at Facebook, says Amie Stepanovich, director of the domestic surveillance project at the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C.
Facebook has the largest biometric database in the world — “and it’s all been formed by people voluntarily submitting pictures to Facebook and identifying who they belong to,” she says.
Theoretically, every time you label faces by tagging a picture, you’re chipping away at those two big challenges for universal facial recognition. First, you’re helping to build a super-database of labeled faces. Second, you’re uploading multiple versions of each person’s face, which can improve a system’s accuracy. Continue reading “Facebook has the largest biometric database in the world and the potential to recognize anybody’s face”

According to the NRA-ILA, the last primary lead smelter in the United States will close down its operation in December.
This means the US will lose its capability to produce lead ammo completely within its borders from the process of mining to production of commercial cartridges. Continue reading “Last U.S. Lead Smelter to Close in December Due to EPA – Might Affect Ammo Production”
Military personnel are increasingly turning to liposuction in order to pass the Pentagon’s body fat test in an effort to maintain future prospects amid a budget-cutting environment.
US service members say that the test used by the Defense Department measures the neck and waist to estimate body fat, which can easily lead weed out muscular or bulky physiques in addition to flabbier ones. Continue reading “US military personnel increasingly choosing liposuction to beat body fat tests”

WASHINGTON – President Obama this year alone has fired some nine generals and flag officers, on top of at least four similar dismissals during his first term, suggesting that a purge may be the real reason behind the removals, which are being described as cases of personal misbehavior.
Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, claims it is part of Obama’s strategy to reduce U.S. standing worldwide. Continue reading “Obama ‘gutting military’ by purging generals”
Senator Rand Paul doesn’t want government officials to receive any sort of special treatment, and a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution courtesy of the Kentucky Republican could accomplish just that.
Sen. Paul’s office announced on Monday that the lawmaker introduced a Constitutional amendment in Washington last week “that would hold government officials to the same standard as the American people.” Continue reading “Rand Paul proposes constitutional amendment barring government officials from being above the law”
Whoever believes that Britney Spears’ music isn’t powerful, need think again. Chart toppers like “Hit Me Baby One More Time” and “Oops I Did it Again” have proven to be effective weapons when blasted at approaching Somali Pirates who reportedly retreat at the mere sound of the songstress.
Rachel Owens, 34, a merchant navy officer on huge super tankers off the east coast of Africa says music is a really effective way of deterring the pirates and their high-speed skiffs: “Her songs have been chosen by the security team accompanying our tankers because they thought the pirates would hate them most. These guys can’t stand Western culture or music, making Britney’s hits perfect.” Continue reading “Britney Spears Music Used To Scare Off Somali Pirates”

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) put a notice in the federal register on Friday that announces the creation of a new division which would take total control of state and local pandemic response.The CDC also plans plans to “Federalize State and Local Health Department employees and add 1000 medical officers to the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service,” according to the details of the video below from Potrblog.
Ostensibly the US Government / Centers For Disease Control is taking this action in preparation for the expected H7N9 Hemorrhagic Avian Influenza Pandemic. In the thought of letting no good crisis go to waste, the situation smacks of the kind of Centralized Planning and Control that all good commies and corporatists love; it also forebodes the systemic failures which injures all but the political connected.

In 1999, The Independent published an article entitled “World’s top sweetener is made with GM bacteria,” which revealed that Monsanto was knowingly adding aspartame to soft drinks in the United States – and that aspartame is made from GM bacteria. This report, which remains one of the earliest disclosures on aspartame in a mainstream newspaper, received little attention after its publication – possibly because its implications were underestimated at the time – and it has long been forgotten. Continue reading “Patent confirms that aspartame is the excrement of GM bacteria”

Dendrites, the branch-like projections of neurons, were once thought to be passive wiring in the brain. But now researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have shown that these dendrites do more than relay information from one neuron to the next. They actively process information, multiplying the brain’s computing power.
“Suddenly, it’s as if the processing power of the brain is much greater than we had originally thought,” said Spencer Smith, PhD, an assistant professor in the UNC School of Medicine. Continue reading “Neuroscientists Discover New ‘Mini-Neural Computer’ in the Brain”
