New evidence has emerged suggesting that the entire global supply of rice may have already been contaminated by unapproved, genetically-modified (GM) rice varieties manufactured by the American multinational corporation Bayer CropScience. A recent entry in the GM Contamination Register explains that between the years of 2006 and 2007, three different varieties of illegal GM rice, none of which have ever been approved for cultivation or consumption anywhere in the world, were identified in more than 30 countries worldwide.   Continue reading “Unapproved genetically-modified rice trials in U.S. have contaminated the world’s rice supply”

Alex Timofeev’s doorbell rang after miidnight one morning in late September. The 35-year-old father of two in Madison, Wisconson left his fiancé in bed and opened the front door. Two officers were outside. They identified themselves as officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Timofeev’s first thought was about his petition for permanent residency in the states, which—as he told Madison’s Isthmus news—has been in the works for years.    Continue reading “Wisconsin Dad Faces Deportation for Smoking Weed a Long Time Ago as a Teen”

As is typical and expected when rabid gun-grabbers make such an absurd, self-contradicting claim, what’s most noticeable is their huge “but.”    Continue reading “Bloomberg, MAIG celebrate Independence Day with declaration restricting freedom”

Imagine the U.S. with so much crime and so much hatred that in order to reduce the crime rate to 1%, the government allowed the people one night every year to purge their anger and frustrations by making it legal to kill, massacre and torture anyone they want and get away with it.

Imagine during that time, no emergency services such as police, medical or fire departments would be running and basically your country is in a state of total anarchy and you are on your own, in hopes that anyone you had pissed off in the past year will not come and kill you.   Continue reading “Imagine the Purge”

The New York Post is reporting that sleeper cell spy Anna Chapman has tweeted a marriage proposal to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Snowden appears to be hiding out in Moscow’s international airport.

After being busted, Chapman was returned to Russia as part of an exchange of spies. She subsequently became a fashion model and a celebrity spokesperson for a major bank. It is thought that she may continue to act as a spy, and has tried to seduce a top member of the Obama Administration.   Continue reading “Hot Russian Spy proposes to Snowden via Twitter”

On Independence Day, it is worth noting that some of the shrillest voices for “gun control” are, their efforts to deceive on the matter notwithstanding, less opposed to guns, or even “gun violence,” than they are to the independence of an armed citizenry. Sure, they claim to support “Independence from Gun Violence,” but the reality is that “gun violence” is precisely what they depend on, in order to exploit the public outrage, for the advancement of their forcible citizen disarmament agenda.   Continue reading “Anti-gunners don’t hate guns–they hate independence”

French newspaper Le Monde accused France’s government of illegally monitoring citizens’ internal and external communications in a report Thursday.

Le Monde immediately compared the French program to the recently revealed PRISM surveillance program in the United States. The report says France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) collects metadata from citizens’ phone calls and emails — but not the content of the messages — to visualize communications inside and outside the country.   Continue reading “France Accused of Spying on Citizens’ Communications”
