“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

The Government Accountability Office tells Whispers it is now investigating large ammunition purchases made by the Department of Homeland Security. Chuck Young, a spokesman for GAO, says the investigation of the purchases is “just getting underway.”

The congressional investigative agency is jumping into the fray just as legislation was introduced in both the Senate and the House to restrict the purchase of ammo by some government agencies (except the Department of Defense). The AMMO Act, introduced Friday, would prevent agencies from buying more ammunition if “stockpiles” are greater than what they were in previous administrations.   Continue reading “GAO Now Investigating DHS Ammo Purchases”

While many questions remain following ExxonMobil’s March 29 tar sands oil spill in Mayflower, Arkansas, a new independent study has revealed the existence of high levels of cancer-causing chemicals in the area.

The new research, co-published by the Faulkner County Citizens Advisory Group and Global Community Monitor, indicates that the 500,000 gallons of heavy bitumen oil released by a gash in ExxonMobil’s aging Pegasus pipeline has released hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) as defined by the 1990 US Clean Air Act.   Continue reading “Study finds ‘soup of toxic chemicals’ in the air near Arkansas ExxonMobil spill site”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told a gathering in Cleveland earlier this month that America needs “unleash” women by providing “affordable” childcare for all American children–a proposal she said President Nixon had wrongfully rejected four decades ago.

“I need your help on this because we talked about Social Security, a pillar of economic stability for America’s families,” Pelosi said at the City Club of Cleveland on April 15. “Medicare and Medicaid another pillar of health security. Affordable Care Act–another pillar, we put it in that league as making a difference. “   Continue reading “Pelosi: ‘Unleash’ Women With ‘Affordable Quality Childcare for All’”
