Engineers at Duke University have designed a breakthrough gadget that ‘harvests’ background microwave radiation and converts it into electricity, with the same efficiency as solar panels.

The development, unveiled on Thursday, raises exciting possibilities such as recharging a phone wirelessly and providing power to remote locations that can’t access conventional electricity.   Continue reading “New invention ‘harvests’ electricity from background radiation and could be used to beam power to remote locations or recharge phones wirelessly”

GEORGETOWN, Texas (AP) — A former Texas prosecutor charged over a wrongful murder conviction agreed to a 10-day jail sentence Friday, accepting the punishment in front of the innocent man he helped put in prison for nearly 25 years.

Ken Anderson also will be disbarred and must serve 500 hours of community service as part of a sweeping deal that was expected to end all criminal and civil cases against the former district attorney, who was the face of the law in a tough-on-crime Texas county for 30 years.   Continue reading “Ex-prosecutor gets jail for wrongful conviction”

World Events and the Bible

(Voice of Russia) – According to the US Census Bureau more than 50 million of Americans are experiencing poverty and struggling with major financial issues. The worst part is that the situation is not becoming better. If to look on the living standard, the family of four is expected to spend at least $23,050 per year, everything less than that is considered poor.

A family living in a rural state usually spends about $18,000 with mortgage, a family living in California with mortgage house is likely to spend at least $35,000 to maintain a very simple lifestyle. The same research proved that the number is not coming down, concluding that 47 million Americans are below the poverty level. This number stayed the same for the last three years, showing worse result than in 2009.   Continue reading “US Census Bureau claims more than 50,000,000 Americans suffer from poverty”

(McClactchy) – Even as President Barack Obama sold a new health care law in part by assuring Americans they would be able to keep their insurance plans, his administration knew that tens of millions of people actually could lose those their policies.

“If you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep your plan. Period,” Obama said as he pitched the plan, the unqualified promise he made repeatedly.   Continue reading “Report: As Many as 52 Million Americans Have Lost or Will Lose Health Insurance”

November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States.  It (and the Sunday preceding) has become a day of holy worship for many.  Churches as well as today’s temples of worship – the sports arena – will bear witness to this glorious event.  The throngs will cheer uncontrollably.

They cheer for their heroes, those who have died so they could live free – free to pay a 50% portion to the state, free to have every form of communication monitored, free to be forced into all sorts of activities and prohibited from many others, free to turn their children over for brainwashing, free to be seen naked before flying.   Continue reading “The Required Blood Sacrifice”

Militia News – by Cara Sullivan

The growing role of big government in our lives presents a continual attack on the cherished and hallmark American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In no area is this expansion more troubling than the criminal justice system. Actions defined as crimes have proliferated to the point that the average American now inadvertently commits an estimated three felonies a day. This explosion of criminal statutes has little to do with protecting our communities; it is simply another symptom of the expansive reach of big government.   Continue reading “Criminalizing America”

Prior to the Revolution, the British claimed the authority to issue Writs of Assistance allowing officials to enter private homes and businesses to search for evidence of smuggling. These general warrants never expired and were considered a valid substitute for specific search warrants.

With British tyranny fresh on their minds many states’ Ratifiers insisted on a Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, and among those fundamental rights, the founders included a provision protecting the people from the arbitrary search and seizure.   Continue reading “Nullify NSA: The Resistance Begins Now.”

Internet privacy relies heavily on the ability of tech companies to hide user content—such as your emails and bank information—behind a secure wall. But the Department of Justice is waging an unprecedented battle in court to win the power to seize the keys of US companies whenever the US government wants. Edward Snowden has shown that the government is already doing a great job at getting companies to hand over information, breaking down weak doors, and scooping up unlocked material. But if the Justice Department succeeds in this case, it will be far easier for it to do so, and—poof!—there will no longer be any guarantee of internet privacy.    Continue reading “Forget the Back Door: The Government Now Wants the Keys to the Internet”

I have taken the liberty to respond in the form of an open letter to your group discussion of how we should guarantee economic rights so no future government can ever again use either Austerity measures or personal or governmental bankruptcy to take away basic economic freedoms like food, housing and utilities. I once proved mathematically that Austerity measures cannot work in the sense of getting us out of debt. What they do is transfer wealth from us to the banks. I have a link  to that article in the references below. I am the original author of the Annotated Bilderberg 2013 members list. I also included it in the references.   Continue reading “A Letter From America Concerning Worldwide Debt Cancellation”

A 90-car train carrying North Dakota crude derailed and exploded in a rural area of western Alabama early on Friday, leaving 11 cars burning and potentially bolstering the push for tougher regulation of a boom in moving oil by rail.

Twenty of the train’s cars derailed and a number were still on fire on Friday afternoon, local officials said. Those cars, which threw flames 300 feet into the night sky, are being left to burn out, which could take up to 24 hours, according to the train owner, Genesee & Wyoming. No injuries were reported.   Continue reading “Train carrying crude oil derails, cars ablaze in Alabama”

Hello I am Mark W. in Houston, Texas  a retired Fire Captain and also worked at NASA as a fire protection Specialists.

I wrote a report back when the Russian reactor blew up as to making a non water nuclear fuel self encased reactor protection system that could contain fissionable radiation and would be so cool it did not need water to keep it from releasing radiation. It was tried in England and worked, as a experiment. It was shown on the science channel a few years ago.   Continue reading “Firefighting a Nuclear Fire”

Have you ever wondered what the grass under your feet feels, what an apple tree smells, or a marigold sees? Plants stimulate our senses constantly, but most of us never consider them as sensory beings too. In fact senses are extremely important to plants. Whatever life throws at them, they remain rooted to the spot – they cannot migrate in search of food, escape a swarm of locusts or find shelter from a storm. To grow and survive in unpredictable conditions, plants need to sense their environment and react accordingly.
