Three planets will perform a rare celestial dance in the sunset sky tonight (May 26), a cosmic show that stars Jupiter, Venus and Mercury.

Weather permitting, the three planets will shine together in a triangle formation low in the western sky in a planetary meet-up known as a conjunction. But there is more to the night sky sight than meets the eye.   Continue reading “Rare 3-Planet Sight Tonight: See Jupiter, Mercury and Venus Together”

First off, the upcoming excerpt I’m ranting about, believe it or not, is entitled: Obama Blames Internet for Domestic Terrorism – which you’ll see below.

You might as well outlaw the air for empowering their fictional terrorists, and likewise outlaw inanimate guns that kill people, and SUV entities that drive over pedestrians.   Continue reading “We’re There, Folks”

UFO Austin,TXDon’t laugh at me as I had seen something along the lines of a UFO sighting a little while ago 9pm central time 5/26/13 in West Austin, TX. The pattern was along the lines of the simple photoshop image that I created as I didn’t have a camera with me and when I got home and grabbed my camera, it was gone.

The pattern of lights stayed in the air until about 9:30pm and I was getting a pizza with my wife at Caesars Pizza near an HEB grocery center off of the I-35 and Parmer Rd in Austin, TX. We noticed no one even thought anything of it and went on with their daily lives as though it was nothing.    Continue reading “Unexplained Light Formation Reported in West Austin, TX”

Strawberry season is in full swing.  Now is the time to stock up on those delicious vivid red berries!

Some strawberry trivia:  Strawberries are not actually a fruit, but a member of the rose family. They are the receptacle of the flower and were first cultivated for eating in ancient Rome. Native Americans called them “heart seed berries” and baked them into cornbread.   Continue reading “This Week’s Harvest: Strawberries”

Inflation Or DeflationThe Economic Collapse – by Michael

Is the coming financial collapse going to be inflationary or deflationary?  Are we headed for rampant inflation or crippling deflation?  This is a subject that is hotly debated by economists all over the country.  Some insist that the wild money printing that the Federal Reserve is doing combined with out of control government spending will eventually result in hyperinflation.  Others point to all of the deflationary factors in our economy and argue that we will experience tremendous deflation when the bubble economy that we are currently living in bursts.    Continue reading “Will It Be Inflation Or Deflation? The Answer May Surprise You”

Alt-Market – by Brandon Smith

The foundation of the Soviet model of trade and investment was centralization under the guise of “universal public ownership”. The entire goal of communism in general was not to give more social and political power to the people, but to extinguish alternative options and focus power into the hands of a select few. The process used to reach this end result can vary, but the goal always remains the same. In most cases, such centralization begins with economic hegemony, and it is in our fiscal structure that we have the means to see the future. Sovietization in our financial life will inevitably lead to sovietization in our political life.   Continue reading “Is America’s Economy Being Sovietized?”

Feeling anxious about life in a broken economy on a strained planet? Turn despair into action.

In December 2008, Tim DeChristopher attended a protest at a federal auction of drilling rights to Utah wilderness lands. He found a better way to disrupt the auction when he picked up a paddle and began bidding on the leases as “Bidder 70.” He won $1.8 million worth of parcels and inflated the price of many others. When it was discovered that he had no money to back his bids, the auction had to be shut down.   Continue reading “Get Apocalyptic: Why Radical is the New Normal”

“Afghan heroin has killed more than 1 million people worldwide since the ‘Operation Enduring Freedom’ began and over a trillion dollars has been invested into transnational organized crime from drug sales,”Viktor Ivanov said at the conference on the drug situation in Afghanistan.   Continue reading “‘1mn died’ from Afghan heroin, drug production ’40 times higher’ since NATO op”

poison question mark 263x164 Vitamin B17: Able to Treat and Prevent Cancer, or Pure Poison?Natural Society -by Christina Sarich

So, you’ve heard of B6, B12, and even B-complex vitamins, but likely not vitamin B17. This powerful vitamin substance shown to halt cancer has also been called poison. So which is it: a natural treatment, or ‘quackery’?

Vitamin B17 is patented in the U.S. as Laetrile, but used in Mexico simply as crushed apricot pits, without boiling the seeds and turning them to ethanol, which then produces benzaldehyde. You can also find the tampered-with version as laevomandelonitrile, the man-made version of  B17, and amygdalin, the natural version of B17.   Continue reading “Vitamin B17: Able to Treat and Prevent Cancer, or Pure Poison?”

Resist 1776 – by Molon Labe (Gabriel)

For many shooters, it’s a ritual to pack the range bag and head off to the shooting range. Shooting ranges are great places to, well, send rounds downrange. You show up, unpack your things on the little bench, pull out your weapon, break out into your favorite weaver or isosceles stance, and fire off a few dozen rounds. At the end of all that, you pack it all up and head home. Rinse, repeat.   Continue reading “Why You Should Avoid The Shooting Range”
