The Hanford Nuclear Reservation, along the Columbia River in Benton County, was built in our own back yard in 1943 to produce plutonium as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project.
It continued operation during America’s campaign to build the biggest nuclear weapons arsenal in the Cold War, as well as producing nuclear energy. The last reactor stopped operating in 1987. Hanford was added to the Superfund list for long-term hazardous cleanup in 1989. Continue reading “Time is of the essence at Hanford site | As It Turns Out”

Is this Craigslist weed dealer the DEA, a scammer, or just an idiot?
Is this guy really selling marijuana over the Internet? Or is it an elaborate Craigslist sting by the Drug Enforcement Agency? Like the original poster on Reddit’s weed community r/trees, I too was in disbelief that a man would advertise a mail order weed business via the Internet. The ad reads “Medical Marijuana Shipped ($250)” and goes on to describe a business that is “smooth, fast, and always discreet,” using search-engine optimization tags like kush, pot, dope, bong, hash, 420, loud, dope, buds, and rolling, all to increase visibility and accessibility on Craigslist.

GREELEY, COLO. – Officials in eight northern Colorado counties united in opposition to the state’s new gun control laws and oil and gas regulations are reportedly considering forming a 51st U.S. state called North Colorado.
Source for the Guardian’s NSA files on why he carried out the biggest intelligence leak in a generation – and what comes next.
Edward Snowden was interviewed over several days in Hong Kong by Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill.
Q: Why did you decide to become a whistleblower?
A: “The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife’s phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards.

Glenn Greenwald, the reporter for The Guardian who broke stories last week on the National Security Agency’s phone and internet surveillance programs, blasted calls for the prosecution of his sources for leaking classified information, saying they “deserve our praise and gratitude and not imprisonment and prosecution.” Continue reading “Guardian Reporter Glenn Greenwald Blasts Calls for Leak Prosecutions”
The Western World is on the brink. That means the whole World is. An energy like no other is coursing through the veins of those who have opened their hearts and minds and is producing an energy ‘return’ that is steadily undermining even the best laid plans of the scheming gobal elite. It is happening because the Masonic manipulators’ energy output is an inverted and distorted form of the energy output of those who are awake and awakening. As long as a large majority of people act according to the inverted energy plan the elite cabal gets its way – but once a critical mass cuts into the true expression of Universal energy – the inverted one gets into the slip stream of its own turbulence – and its fear based energy weapons start jamming.

The National Security Agency pushed for the government to “rethink” the Fourth Amendment when it argued in a classified memo that it needed new authorities and capabilities for the information age.
The 2001 memo, later declassified and posted online by George Washington University’s National Security Archive, makes a case to the incoming George W. Bush administration that the NSA needs new authorities and technology to adapt to the Internet era. Continue reading “NSA memo pushed to ‘rethink’ 4th Amendment”
We must say we admire the chutzpah of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He presides over a city that has copious gunplay despite supposedly tough gun control, yet he presumes to tell New Hampshire and the rest of the country how to deal with guns.
Responding to the revelations detailing the US government’s massive surveillance programs in recent days, President Obama on Friday said the two programs—one which allows the collection of virtually all phone records produced in the United States and the other which allows the National Security Agency to search through the private digital data of the world’s most popular internet systems—are merely a “modest encroachment” on personal privacies.

The 179,000 jobs created in May and boasted about by the Obama administration are no more than “the usual lowly paid non-exportable domestic service jobs—the jobs of a third world country,” former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts writes.
According to Roberts’ number crunching, here’s how the bulk of those jobs break down: retail, 27,700; wholesale trade, 7,900; ambulatory health care services, 15,300; servers and bartenders, 38,100; local government, 13,000; amusement, gambling and recreation, 12,500; temporary help, 25,600; business support services, 4,300; services to buildings and residences, 6,400; accounting and bookkeeping, 3,100; architecture and engineering, 4,900; computer systems and related, 6,000; management and technical consulting, 3,200.
