arsenicNatural News – by Ethan A. Huff

The old saying, “You are what you eat,” poses troubling implications for public health in light of a new study on chicken meat, which found that most of it contains dangerously high levels of toxic arsenic. And the worst part is that industrial chicken producers are directly responsible for causing this, as they intentionally add arsenic-based pharmaceutical drugs to chicken feed in order to bulk them up quickly and improve the color of their meat, which in turn poisons you and your family.   Continue reading “Arsenic being intentionally added to conventional chicken”

Below is a column in the Sunday Washington Post.  The column addresses how the continued rollbacks on civil liberties in the United States conflicts with the view of the country as the land of the free.

If we are going to adopt Chinese legal principles, we should at least have the integrity to adopt one Chinese proverb: “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.”  We seem as a country to be in denial as to the implications of these laws and policies.   Continue reading “10 Reasons The U.S. Is No Longer The Land Of The Free”

OK, this is 164 years old. Change a few names and it could very well have been written yesterday. Truth is timeless!

Transcendentalists – by Henry David Thoreau

[1849, original title: Resistance to Civil Government]

Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe–“That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have.   Continue reading “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”

Information Clearinghouse – by Conor Friedersdorf

The term is a euphemism that obscures the gravity of what its advocates are suggesting — a U.S. air attack on Syria.

Kudos to Josh Rogin for breaking the news that “the White House has asked the Pentagon to draw up plans for a no-fly zone inside Syria.” But wouldn’t it be a more powerful story without the euphemism?   Continue reading “Let’s Be Clear: Establishing a ‘No-Fly Zone’ Is an Act of War”

cartels-through-texasTexas Nationalist Movement – by Dave Mundy

What had been an open secret is no longer secret: Mexican drug cartels are now openly carrying their war into Texas.

The question is whether or not the federal government is intentionally allowing it to happen.

In spite of assurances from Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano (“the border’s never been more secure”), a cartel hit man pulled off a trademark, brutally violent execution in the quiet suburb of Southlake Wednesday night.   Continue reading “Cartels: Coming to a Town Near You”

Two civil rights groups have sued the state of Mississippi for alleged human rights abuses at one of the state’s for-profit prisons.

A class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describes how a “perpetual state of crisis at the East Mississippi Correctional Facility puts inmates at a “grave risk of death and loss of limbs.”   Continue reading “Mississippi sued over for-profit prisons that risk imates’ ‘death and loss of limbs’”

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says that Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, who has threatened to take the city into bankruptcy over its unsustainable finances, is bluffing. “I think he’s using it, at this point, judiciously to make sure that he can use it as leverage more than anything else,” Bing told the press. “He said to me, more than once, ‘[bankruptcy] is not where I want to go, but at least it’s on the table, and if I have to go there, nobody’s gonna like it.’”   Continue reading “Detroit Mayor: Let’s Force Employees to Live in City Limits for 7 Years”
