homeless killings ajaxHuffington Post – by GILLIAN FLACCUS

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A former Marine who was awaiting trial in the deaths of six people, including four homeless men, died after ingesting Ajax in his jail cell, his lawyer said Friday.

Itzcoatl (ihts-KWAH’-tehl) Ocampo, 25, apparently accumulated the cleaning product over time while in custody, said his attorney, Michael Molfetta, who was briefed on the death. The incident raises serious questions about how well Orange County jail deputies were supervising Ocampo, who had mental health issues, Molfetta said.   Continue reading “Suspect In Homeless Serial Killings Was Killed By Ajax: Lawyer”

STOCKHOLM (AP) — A comet that gained an earthly following because of its bright tail visible from space was initially declared dead after grazing the sun. Now, there is a sliver of hope that Comet ISON may have survived.

New images being analyzed Friday showed a streak of light moving away from the sun that some said could indicate it wasn’t game over just yet.

“It certainly appears as if there is an object there that is emitting material,” said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.   Continue reading “Did Comet ISON survive? Scientists see tiny hope”

The secret back channel of negotiations between Iran and the United States, which led to this month’s interim deal in Geneva on Iran’s rogue nuclear program, has also seen a series of prisoner releases by both sides, which have played a central role in bridging the distance between the two nations, the Times of Israel has been told.

In the most dramatic of those releases, the US in April released a top Iranian scientist, Mojtaba Atarodi, who had been arrested in 2011 for attempting to acquire equipment that could be used for Iran’s military-nuclear programs.  Continue reading “‘US freed top Iranian scientist as part of secret talks ahead of Geneva deal’”

We all know it’s coming and for some of us, it’s already here. Gun confiscations and invasions into our homes will happen and to deny it is like an ostrich putting its head in a hole in hopes of hiding from it.

I have taken some time to compile some excerpts from the book, Total Resistance: Swiss Army Guide to Guerrilla Warfare and Underground Operations by Major H. von Dach Bern in order to explain just one of the ways they will come and how to be on the lookout and prepare for it and, through careful analysis of it, possibly find your own way to counter it.  Continue reading “How They Will Disarm Us and Search Our Homes”

Most of us associate the holiday with happy Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to a big feast.  And that did happen – once.

The story began in 1614 when a band of English explorers sailed home to  England with a ship full of Patuxet Indians bound for slavery. They left behind smallpox which virtually wiped out those who had escaped.  By the time the Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay they found only one living Patuxet Indian, a man named Squanto who had survived slavery in England and knew their language.  He taught them to grow corn and to fish, and negotiated a peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Nation. At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a great feast honoring Squanto and the Wampanoags.    Continue reading “The Real Story of Thanksgiving”
