Once upon a time, if we felt we needed to, we could go to the pharmacy or department store, select a bottle of vitamins, and feel pretty confident about the actual contents of the bottles.

Nowadays, real vitamins are so hard to track down that they might as well be on the endangered species list.  In fact, most of what is sold as “vitamins” in the United States actually contains toxic ingredients and nutritional content that isn’t readily bio-available.  And matters may soon get even worse, as the US government “harmonizes” with an overbearing set of rules called Codex Alimentarius.   Continue reading “10 Ways to Commit Nutritional Anarchy”

Halliburton Energy Services to pay a maximum $200,000 fine for destroying evidence related to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which the Gulf of Mexico is yet to recover from. The company will also donate $55 million towards wildlife protection.

World’s second-largest oilfield services company has pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge and agreed to be subject to three years of probation – apart from paying $200,000 fine – for destroying internal probe computer simulations into the cementing after the blowout at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. Allegedly the probe showed little difference between using six and 21 centralizers while cementing the damaged oil rig well.    Continue reading “Halliburton to pay $200k fine for destroying evidence in 2010 Gulf oil spill”

I received the following comment on my recent post ‘Field Sleeping Options – A Discussion‘:

“I own and use a FLIR device for hunting, I understand the idea behind blocking the hot spot from showing up on observation devices, but won’t the use of a thermal blocking tarp create a square “hole” in the natural thermal background pattern? By natural thermal pattern I mean the differences in heat signatures that show up due to rates of heat uptake and release.” Anonymous.   Continue reading “Thermal Camouflage & Update on the MVT Shield”

One of the biggest failings of conservatives over the years, and especially since the end of the Cold War, has been the failure to understand that the military is big government too. It is full of waste, and much larger than it should be.

Some will always argue that “defense” is specifically enumerated in the Constitution and therefore a legitimate expenditure. It is a legitimate expenditure.   Continue reading “The Pentagon is spending taxpayer dollars on what?”

When 80 people die in dramatic fashion, it’s the kind of tragedy that grabs global headlines. “Driver in custody after 80 killed in Spain train crash,” declares Reuters in the aftermath of that devastating event. Sadly, there’s something frighteningly macabre about 80 people dying all at once in a caught-on-video crash that demands global attention.   Continue reading “Obamacare train wreck will kill far more people than the disastrous crash in Spain”

The House on July 24 defeated a motion to restrict, but not abandon, National Security Agency massive-surveillance activities, the Obama administration and Democratic leadership in the House in solid support of continuance, this despite the obvious totalitarian implications and consequences of the program.

Think of it, POTUS identified closely with the most alarming violation of American civil liberties in recent history, placing him in the same crowd with Joe McCarthy, A. Mitchell Palmer, the Alien-and-Sedition forces going back to the late 18th century, a dishonorable pantheon of those contemptuous of freedom of thought, privacy of the individual, safeguards inherent in the Constitution for protection against unlawful searches and seizures.

Eric Holder and Barack Obama’s Department of Justice made clear this week their feelings regarding Texas  – namely that it is a state (they believe) still mired in racial discrimination that requires Big Government intervention.  In the brewing war between the Obama White House and Texas, who will win?   Continue reading “Eric Holder Gunning For Texas – Claims Lone Star State Among Most Racist In Nation”

Now they’re stock piling other calibers and arms. Along with the manuals and tools related to the individual pieces. I believe they’re out to limit the availability of everything. So as to cause the shortages they want, which in the long term will keep Americans from being able to respond to actions that may go hot. So they think, and plan.

Like I’ve said, get everything you can, while you can…NOW To include all related support items for your piece(s). Spare ejectors, firing pins, armorers manuals, etc. For if you don’t, all you’ll have are glorified clubs and paper weights. Remember, obscenities and throwing rocks won’t do you any good.   Continue reading “U.S. Army to Buy Millions of Russian Rounds of Ammo and Popular Civilian Firearms”

WEB Notes: The NY times documents this was a Christian Quarter. The situation in Syria will not improve as we have documented. Western governments continue to fund and arm the conflict, in essence, creating the conflict themselves. It was announced just days ago Russia and the U.S. will arm both sides of the conflict at the same time. Days before that, the United States and Britain both publicly stated war preparations are underway for Syria.   Continue reading “Damascus: 10 killed, 66 Injured in Blast in Christian Quarter of Syrian Capital”

The list of women to come forward continues to grow for San Diego Mayor Bob Filner. Multiple women have already gone public alleging unwanted advances from Filner.

A dramatic assassination attempt on a man sprayed with bullets by a machine gun hidden behind the rear license plate of a parked car yesterday was foiled by the target’s bulletproof Mercedes.

In scenes which could have been taken straight from James Bond, the vehicle where the weapon was hidden burst into flames straight after opening fire on Radovan Krejcir, a Czech fugitive living in Johannesburg.   Continue reading “Hitman tries to murder target using James Bond-style MACHINE GUN hidden behind his car’s number plates”

The chamber illuminated with reddish light would have been familiar to the mouse — the laboratory animal had scurried before on its black cardboard floor and smelled the faint whiff of vinegar. The mouse froze. A series of electric foot shocks would be coming soon, as, the mouse remembered, had happened the last time.

But the shocks never came. The memory wasn’t real.   Continue reading “Mind-control study gives mouse false memory”
