Our exclusive report reveals government surveillance, what appear to be undercover sting operations, and investigations into the alleged crime of “practicing nutrition without a license.”Action Alerts!

ANH-USA has uncovered widespread surveillance (including undercover sting operations), aggressive investigations, and prosecutions of nutrition professionals. These actions, together with the levying of criminal penalties, have been undertaken by state health departments and state dietetics boards that are enforcing monopolistic laws sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. More often than not, they are supported by local law enforcement or the offices of state attorneys general. The AND—formally the American Dietetic Association, or ADA—is not a medical organization, but a trade group that represents the interests of Registered Dietitians (RDs, who are certified by the AND’s credentialing arm). The AND has about 74,000 members.   Continue reading “ANH-USA Uncovers Suspicious Activity by State Dietetic and Health Boards”

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – Mayor Michael Bloomberg met Gov. Dannel P. Malloyat City Hall to discuss Connecticut’s new gun control law.

Malloy and Bloomberg met in the second-floor bullpen.

“There is a certain reality that America’s got to get used to that guns aren’t making you safer in your house. They’re increasing precipitously the opportunity for your child to kill themselves or someone else,” Malloy said following his half-hour conversation with Bloomberg. “There’s a reality that 19,000 people are going to commit suicide because there’s a gun in their house. And if there wasn’t a gun in that house and they didn’t commit suicide at that time, their chances of committing suicide at any time decreases by 90 percent.”   Continue reading “Conn. Governor Malloy Met With Mayor Bloomberg At City Hall To Discuss Gun Control”

NEWTOWN, Conn –(Ammoland.com)- The California Assembly could vote as early as Thursday on legislation that bans all traditional ammunition for hunting.

It is urgent to make calls urging opposition now. NSSF is asking all California retailers to post a copy of this alert in their stores and to personally call their Assembly members expressing their opposition to AB 711. AB 711, if passed and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, would extend the now limited Condor range ban on traditional lead ammunition to the entire state.   Continue reading “California Traditional Ammunition Ban Vote Thursday?”

Nicholas Heyward is a haunted man. He is one of many New Yorkers who have lost loved ones to the police. Nineteen years ago, Heyward’s son was playing with a toy gun in the stairwell of a Boerum Hill housing project in Brooklyn, New York, when he was fatally shot by an NYPD officer. Nicholas Jr. was 13 years old when he was killed.

“I heard Nick say, ‘We’re playing,’ and then I heard a boom,” Katrell Fowler, a friend of Nick Jr.’s told the New York Times shortly after the incident. Yet blame was placed on the boy’s toy rifle, instead of officer Brian George, who fired his very real revolver into the child’s abdomen.   Continue reading “Who Protects New Yorkers From The NYPD?”

A judge has dismissed the indictment against the NYPD officer who shot and killed an unarmed teen in his Bronx home last year. The dismissal was for a technicality, as the Bronx DA’s office erroneously instructed members of the grand jury that they did not have to consider if Officer Richard Haste’s colleagues informed him that 18-year-old Ramarley Graham was armed.

“With no great pleasure, I am obliged in this case to dismiss the charges,” Supreme Court Justice Steven Barrett said as he made his decision, according to DNAinfo.   Continue reading “Charges Against Cop Who Killed Unarmed Teen Thrown Out On Technicality”

An Israeli official confirmed Wednesday night that a dramatic and unprecedented message to this effect had been conveyed to Damascus, Channel 2 news reported.

The report said that Israel’s position to this effect also came up during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s emergency meeting in Russia on Tuesday with President Vladimir Putin, during which Netanyahu also told Putin of Israel’s profound opposition to Russia’s sale of sophisticated S-300 missile defense batteries to Assad.   Continue reading “Israel Tells Russia They Will Wipe Out Syria If Assad Attacks”

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew requested – and has accepted – the resignation of the acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service in the wake of its handling of requests by conservative groups for tax-exempt status, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.

The “misconduct” detailed in a report about the IRS response to those requests is “inexcusable,” he said.   Continue reading “Acting commissioner of IRS resigns, Obama says”

Native-born and naturalized Americans who are currently seeking work are already competing with illegal immigrants-a term that the Associated Press says it will no longer use-or standing in line behind them as they sign up for all manner of welfare benefits. The official estimate of the number of illegal aliens-oops, undocumented aliens-in the nation is estimated to be eleven million, but if the “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill becomes law, it will act as a magnet to attract millions more.   Continue reading “Amnesty Bill is a Massive Multi-Million Dollar Fraud”

Excerpted from an  article which appeared in the Winter 1999 issue of The Independent Review

Working in complete secrecy, Jefferson drafted the Kentucky resolution of 1798 between 21 July and 26 October 1798. His original plan was for W. C. Nicholas to introduce the Resolves in North Carolina, but because of political setbacks there, Nicholas instead gave the Resolves to John Breckinridge for introduction in Kentucky. As an independent-minded frontier state, Kentucky was the perfect forum for Jefferson’s resolution. Across the state, without much prompting, citizens gathered to protest the Alien and Sedition Acts. In Lexington, five thousand people — a crowd three times the town’s population — assembled.   Continue reading “Resolutions of 1798: Guideposts of Limited Government”

The national news media haven’t discovered it, but the issue that is bringing out hundreds of citizens who never before attended political meetings is Common Core (CC). More precisely, it is the attempt of Barack Obama’s Department of Education to force all states and schools to adopt specified national education standards for each grade level that will dictate what all kids learn and don’t learn.   Continue reading “Education Dictates More Like ‘Communism Core’”

On 4 April, 2013, Arkansas HB1700 became ACT 746. The revised law will not go into effect until late July or early August of this year.

The bill makes a definition change in the statute that has been interpreted to limit the legal carrying of weapons in Arkansas.

The original language was this:

A person commits the offense of carrying a weapon if he or she possesses a handgun, knife, or club on or about his or her person, in a vehicle occupied by him or her, or otherwise readily available for use with a purpose to employ the handgun, knife, or club as a weapon against a person.   Continue reading “Constitutional Carry will be the Law in Arkansas”

The quick progress of the ‘shale revolution’ in the US is set to reshape the world energy market by 2018, when OPEC becomes less influential and developing countries drive global demand.

The US shale oil will meet most of the demand from across the world in the next five years, even if it goes into ‘recovery motion’. The developing economies outside OECD, such as BRICS countries and Saudi Arabia, that’ll be driving increased demand.   Continue reading “US shale oil boom will make OPEC voice smaller in energy market- IEA”

There is this running theory in politics and business that if one works within the Kissinger-Rockefeller sphere of influence, that lucky soul has immunity from any event as long as the individual continues to work for the benefit of the greater globalist financial cabal. Apparently the Teflon coating is still quite intact and functional for the former Secretary of the Treasury as the scandals which happened under his watch continue to explode with fresh headlines on the front pages of newspapers and the internet on a daily basis.   Continue reading “The Rat Who Keeps Escaping Every Scandal”

Tenth Amendment Center

In South Carolina, an effort is currently underway to nullify Obamacare.  The tip of the spear nationally,H3101 introduced by Representative Bill Chumley won’t totally collapse the federal act in one fell swoop. But if passed into state laws there, it will mark the beginning of the end for Obamacare if other states follow South Carolina’s lead.

This bill is so good that the George Soros-funded ThinkProgress.org has been attacking it as “an insidious new form of Obamacare nullification.”   Continue reading “South Carolina: Following James Madison’s Advice to Nullify Obamacare”
