The alert was raised along the west coast of the USA and Canada some time ago. Now the same symptoms and massive die-offs of animals are being seen across the USA as far as the East Coast. Is there a massive cover-up of the catastrophic effects of Fukushima? How true are the rumors that huge swathes of land will soon be uninhabitable?

As the clock ticks on after the nuclear disaster of Fukushima, growing evidence is revealed of a catastrophic level of pollution in the entire Pacific Ocean – as far as the west coast of the United States of America, where a mysterious disease is affecting animal life. The symptoms are not restricted to wild animals, neither are they restricted, now, to the west coast.   Continue reading “The poisoning of the Pacific: USA in danger?”

Over a year ago, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted to adopt a historic, 6,000-page report which contains “startling details” about CIA misdeeds related to its torture program.

The report, which cost $40 million to produce and appears to pose no national security threats, has been set for release since December 13, 2012. However, it has yet to see the light of day.   Continue reading “Obama Suppressing 6,000-Page Report on CIA Torture Adopted by Senate Intelligence Committee”

The U.S. military can be a sensitive lot when it comes to the location of their military facilities.

With military bases on every continent, in every corner of the world, for the kinds of tasks they perform, it’s no wonder that many of the locations are blacked out and hidden from public view.

The Pentagon says there are around 5,000 bases in total with around 600 overseas.   Continue reading “Blank Spots on the map: Almost all the U.S. Army’s secret military bases across the globe revealed on Google and Bing”

Michael R. Bloomberg, determined to parlay his government experience and vast fortune into a kind of global mayoralty, is creating a high-powered consulting group to help him reshape cities around the world long after he leaves office.

To build the new organization, paid for out of his own pocket, the billionaire mayor is taking much of his City Hall team with him: He has already hired many of his best-known and longest-serving deputies, promising them a chance to export the policies they developed in New York to far-flung places like Louisville, Ky., and Mexico City.   Continue reading “Bloomberg Focuses on Rest (as in Rest of the World)”

Last week the city Board of Health voted to force annual flu vaccinations on all babies and children under age 5 who attend day-care centers and preschool programs. Here, Sophia Ling, mother of 3-year-old Oona and a fitness instructor in Staten Island, tells The Post’s Mary Kay Linge how the risks of the shot outweigh the benefits — and wants nannying bureaucrats to stop trampling parents’ rights.

When I first heard about the new flu vaccine rule, I was upset but not surprised. The Board of Health did this so quietly, with no input from parents of young children. The unanimous vote was cast before New Yorkers had any chance to protest.   Continue reading “Take your mandatory flu shot and shove it!”

He should get the death penalty, since 2 people were executed due to his false testimony. That’s murder.

Phoenix, AZ—Debra Milke sat on Death Row for just a tad short of 24 years.  A corrupt and now disgraced former Phoenix cop, Armando Saldate fabricated a confession after he was unable to legitimately obtain one from Milke.

The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals investigated Saldate and found he was a serial perjurer.  Aside from Milke’s case apparently four people are doing life in prison and two were executed based on Saldate’s claims.  That court reversed Milke’s convictions and death sentence.  They also requested an investigation into the violation of Milke’s rights by cops and prosecutors.   Continue reading “Murder Confessions and the Reality of Police Corruption”

(David J. Krajicek)  In his first interview since he was jailed last month for contempt of court, Alabama journalist Roger Shuler said he will stay behind bars indefinitely rather than comply with a judge’s “unlawful” order to scrub his blog of scandalous stories he posted about a powerful Alabama politician’s son.

“Free press, free speech, the First Amendment—none of this means anything to these people,” Shuler said. “I don’t see any reason I should remove the material. Is a person obliged to take an action based on a judge’s unlawful order?”   Continue reading “Blogger Jailed For Refusing To Erase Stories He Wrote Exposing A Powerful Political Family”

Uruguayan President José Mujica is the poorest president in the world, according to the news website Infobae.com: he earns US$12,500 per month and donates 90% of it to charities.

“His only property is his old Volkswaken, and he lives in an humble ranch in the outskirts of the capital,” the website writes. “But there are others who live with less,” Mujica said.

The donated 90% of the presidential salary goes to NGOs involved in social housing and to the Fondo Raúl Sendic, a fund that administrates Mujica’s political movement, the MMP (Movivimento de Participación Popular) and collaborates with many local charities.   Continue reading “Uruguay: President Donates 90% of His Salary to the Poorest”
