Take a look at these third grade Common Core worksheets [Correction: Common Core-aligned worksheets].*

The first story for third graders takes a twisted social work approach to learning. The next story is about a cheating husband and father, and, again, it’s for third grade.   Continue reading “Common Core Reaches a New Low – Check This Out!”

Gold Bars Bloomberg – by Nicholas Larkin & Debarati Roy

Ben S. Bernanke, the world’s most-powerful central banker, says he doesn’t understand gold prices. If his peers had paid attention, they might have stopped expanding reserves that lost $545 billion in value since bullion peaked in 2011.

Bernanke, who holds economics degrees from Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and led the Federal Reserve through the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression, told the Senate Banking Committee in July that “nobody really understands gold prices and I don’t pretend to really understand them either.”   Continue reading “Gold Befuddles Bernanke as Central Banks’ Losses at $545 Billion”

Last night, staying in a pension on Korea’s southwest coast, I was about to hit the hay when a Facebook friend sent me the following link:

http://therebel.org/news/andrew-macgregor/joe-vialls-ari-and-jim-stone-in-the-mouse-that-roared/

I clicked. I waited. The article wouldn’t load. I stepped outside for some fresh air. When I came back, the server had timed out. I clicked again and again. Again and again, the same result. I told my friend it would have to wait for morning and went to bed.   Continue reading “James Is Not Jim Is Not Joe”

ObamacareNatural News – by Mike Adams

Obamacare is going to crash and burn from technical issues more than political concerns, it seems. You’ve probably already heard that virtually no one can sign up using the online Obamacare exchanges. The web forms are broken. The code is buggy. The data integration is a jaw-dropping failure.

This is why, all over the country and across the media, no one can seem to locate anyone who has successfully signed up through Healthcare.gov. Even the one person the Obama administration rolled out as a “success case” turns out to be completely staged and fabricated.   Continue reading “Epic fail: 99% of Obamacare applications can’t be processed, ‘nightmare scenario’ coming in January”

Shakespeare said ‘All the world is a stage’ but why do I have to be shamed by a President who plays the part of a buffoon in the final act of the play called world history. I knew when I was 8 years-old that I was born in a dying land. That is why I never married and had children. What’s the point? America was through. It had no future. Sure. There will always be a remnant. Some younger people can and will survive.

I have made plans for the survivors that they may live and prosper but I personally would prefer not to be amongst them.  Continue reading “Barack Hussein Obama, You Are A Buffoon.”

These days genetic modification of the food supply is rather prevalent. With genetic modification being linked to sterility and infant mortality, it is something that should be avoided at all costs. Unfortunately, food products containing genetically modified organisms are often not properly labeled, leading to unknowing consumption of genetically modified ingredients. Learn how to identify which products are genetically modified, and avoid this major health risk.   Continue reading “How to Know if Your Food is Conventional, Organic, or Genetically Modified”

Are you aware of nanotechnology and nanoparticles? Nanoparticles are tiny—like really tiny. A piece of your hair is about 100,000 nanometers wide; it’s the unit of measurement that your fingernails grow in a single second, but their size isn’t the only problem. Nanoparticles are potentially toxic, according to the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), and they are found in everything from certified organic foods to clothing.    Continue reading “Next Generation GMOs: Questionable Nanoparticles are in Your Clothes, Organic Food”

Russian scientists confirmed on Monday that a tracking station at Lake Baikal in Siberia spotted the 15-metre object, monitoring it for nine hours. It flew within 11,300 km of the Earth’s surface – and initially observers thought it was an artificial object, for example a spent rocket booster, but found no known space junk that could account for it.

The asteroid ‘was discovered on Friday night by our station near Lake Baikal and nine hours later it flew within 11,300 km of the Earth’s surface, below the orbit of geostationary satellites. It was about 15 meters in size,’ said Vladimir Lipunov of the Moscow State University and the Sternberg Astronomical Institute.  Continue reading “Siberian observatory tracks a ‘near miss’ as space object speeds close to Earth”

2013 Report of Study Group on Radionuclide Science in the North Pacific Ocean (PICES, an intergovernmental scientific organization made up of Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Russia, and the U.S.): […] Chairman Dr. Zhang […] pointed out that the widespread application of nuclear science and technology and a recent nuclear power plant accident [Fukushima Daiichi] had led to increasing amounts of radionuclides released into the North Pacific. In addition, the long half-life radionuclides could potentially endanger the marine ecosystem, including human health through food chain exposures. Consequently, it is important to monitor the radiation exposure level and assess the effects of radioactive substances on marine ecosystems in the North Pacific waters.   Continue reading “Official Gov’t Documents: Fukushima to endanger North Pacific marine ecosystem and health of human beings? “Very important to monitor radiation exposure level and assess effects of radioactive substances””

BALI, INDONESIA –  The U.S. and Russia are set to hold their first high-level talks since sealing a deal to secure and destroy Syria’s chemical weapons and the onset of an apparent warming between Iran and the West.

Dear President Obama,

You strike me as the sort of man who spends a lot of time staring at his own reflection. I wonder, what do you see when you gaze so admiringly at yourself? What image do you find in that mirror of yours? Let me guess: a graceful Greek god with a golden crown, draped in luxurious robes, perched on a giant, magnificent throne atop a mountain in the sky? You see a throng of angels singing your praises and masses of subservient peasants prostrated before you, trembling with fear and awe? You see a man who is more than a man, and a president who transcends the presidency; you see a historic figure of immortal importance?   Continue reading “An open letter to President Obama”
