I warned Natural News readers about this years ago: those grocery store “loyalty cards” that they push on you to enjoy discounts on groceries are actually a behavior surveillance technology that’s used to capture and profile your grocery purchasing patterns. This data is then sold off to insurance companies who use it to raise your rates by linking your grocery purchases with the risk of disease.

Buying a lot of ice cream? You’re more likely to be obese and diabetic. Continue reading “Grocery loyalty card purchases surveilled by insurance companies to raise rates and deny claims”

The New American – by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

At home and abroad, the scope of the drone war is expanding and liberty is contracting.

On February 22, President Barack Obama sent a letter to the speaker of the House and the president pro tempore of the Senate, informing them that he ordered U.S. armed forces sent to Niger, where they will “provide support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region.” Continue reading “Drones: More in Africa; Will Track Gun Owners, Cellphones in U.S.”

As the farce of the so called sequester (austerity) continues to dominate the headlines, one would think that the entire federal government is being run on $85 billion per year.  If you look at the issue closely, you realize that the whole sham is nothing more than the further selective removal of wealth from our dying economy.  We are talking about a 2% cut here in the increase in spending, which is to say not one dollar from this austerity will go towards the elimination of the debt or the deficit, but rather, every dollar will eventually find its way into one of the offshore accounts that now hold $50 trillion of our nation’s stolen wealth.

As if to rub salt into the wound, the foreign insurgents within the US government continue to announce, almost daily, new foreign aid packages, like the $450 million John Kerry just promised to DONATE to Egypt in financial aid.  This is bullshit for sure, but make no mistake, it is just a precursor to further outrage as Kerry has also announced another $60 million to be DONATED to Egypt’s entrepreneurs and young people.

As China and Japan posture in the East China Sea, seemingly prepared to go to war with one another at the drop of a hat, and the Middle East continues to destabilize, we are left to wonder not if, but rather when and where, World War III will break out.  Make no mistake; the game of deception is in full play, with the goal being to confuse every issue to the point that we Americans cannot monitor the actions being taken by the international elite.

We have been told that the traitor Obama will, during his upcoming trip to Israel, declare a US invasion into Iran this summer.  Meanwhile, we see the reports of diplomatic meetings between the US and Iran for the purpose of avoiding conflict.  Continue reading “Nuclear Arms Talks with Iran are a Deception”

On June 15, 2012, Obama took an unconstitutional executive action in announcing a “shift in policy”.  The new policy directed the Department of Homeland Security to stop the deportation of one million illegal aliens who would fall under the criteria embodied in the so called Dream Act, said legislation having previously failed to make it to a vote in the US Congress.  Department of Homeland Security Czar in Charge, Janet Napolitano, then sent a memo to ICE directing it’s agents to cease arresting any illegals appearing to fall under the criteria of the so called Dream Act.

When these outrageous acts fell under the scrutiny of the people, the only response from the insurgent in the White House was that any criminals falling under the criteria would be exempt from the amnesty.  Now in the past week we have seen these criminal individuals released onto our streets as a part of the so called sequester cuts.  Continue reading “Obama Administration Unleashes Foreign Criminals on the People of the United States”

End of American Dream – by Michael

Where are all of these giant sinkholes coming from?  Of course there have always been sinkholes, but over the past few years it seems like both the severity and the number of giant sinkholes has been increasing dramatically.  So exactly why are so many giant sinkholes appearing all over America all of a sudden?  Is something happening to the earth’s crust, or is there some other explanation?

The “experts” are blaming this epidemic of sinkholes on things like loose soil, acidic groundwater, new construction, leaky water pipes, coal mines, fracking, long periods of drought followed by rain, and depletion of underground aquifers, but do they really understand what is going on?  Continue reading “Why Are Giant Sinkholes Appearing All Over America? Is Something Happening To The Earth’s Crust?”

A study published recently in the journal Environmental Science and Technology confirmed that contaminated soil is to blame for increased blood lead levels in children during the summer. The research, which tracked more than 367,000 children in Detroit over a nine-year period, found that seasonal fluctuations in blood lead levels found in children are the result of resuspended dust contaminated with lead.

Big food companies have a new secret weapon aimed right at your kid’s sweet tooth: milk.

Yes, milk. The powerful dairy lobby is pushing the FDA to approve the artificial sweetener aspartame for use in dairy products. The goal is to turn the wholesome drink into another artifical flavor-laden sweet snack. Continue reading “Tell the FDA: We don’t want aspartame in our milk.”

At a time when sequestration is about to take a big bite out of the Pentagon budget, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) will be sending thousands of its citizen lobbyists to Capitol Hill next week to make sure Israel is exempted from any spending cuts.

This could prove a very risky strategy at a time when millions of Americans will be feeling the bite of the sequestration debacle, from the defense budget to the school lunch program. Continue reading “AIPAC To Hill: Don’t Touch Israel Aid”

“Political Economists,” according to Stephen Zarlenga in The Lost Science Of Money, “became the priesthood of the new Bank aristocracy, often serving as a propaganda apparatus to whitewash the monetary power structure. They put forward false ideas and smoke screens on the nature of money, primitive concepts that help entrench the bankers.” Continue reading “Economists: The Unholy Priests of the Banksters”

I remember getting my .30-06 as a present for my 18th birthday. Well, what I got was an unfinished stock, a barreled action, and a fixed 4x scope.

After finishing the stock (I use that term loosely since I never wanted a fancy rifle), I took my rifle to the local gunsmith and had him mount the scope. He bore sighted it, sold me a box of ammo, and sent me out to his range. Continue reading “How to Sight in your scoped rifle with a single shot”

Within the next 31 days, 4.2 million homeowners who suffered abusive foreclosure tactics at the hands of some of the nation’s largest banks will be notified of their compensation, banking regulators said Thursday.

The Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued the final details of a sweeping $9.3 billion agreement with 13 mortgage servicers, including JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Bank of America, under consent orders for fraudulent and flawed foreclosure practices.

SHTF events come in many different flavors.  While most of us think of things like natural disasters, economic collapse and pandemics, many occurrences are much more mundane.  They are those small personal disasters that can hit any of us, at any time.

A veteran Queens cop was busted for allegedly arranging a torrid tryst with two hookers he met while on patrol and in uniform, sources said yesterday.

Officer Luis Gutierrez, 37, of the 114th Precinct in Astoria was arrested Thursday as he arrived to meet the prostitutes in the parking lot of a Wendy’s restaurant on Northern Boulevard. Continue reading “Cop busted for allegedly arranging tryst with hookers”
