When considering the various factors that are most responsible for widespread environmental pollution and ecosystem destruction in today’s world, most people probably envision things like industrial manufacturing facilities spilling chemicals into nearby waterways, coal-fired power plants billowing plumes of black smoke into the blue sky, and thousands of miles of major highways occupied by millions of gas-guzzling, fume-emitting vehicles. It turns out, though, that agriculture, at least the…

It doesn’t matter where you live, chances are that if you travel anytime in the next week you will probably be seeing cops pulling people over everywhere.…

A former police lieutenant who punched a woman in the face at a Philadelphia street party was charged with simple assault on Thursday

Jonathan Josey, who was a veteran police supervisor at the time of the incident, was responding to a notice of a rambunctious street party in north Philadelphia. The street festival was in honor of the city’s annual Puerto Rican Day Parade. There were reports of a driver doing doughnuts with his car, as well as people throwing water and shooting…

A gun store owner in Arizona has banned people who voted for President Obama from entering his store, even though Democratic voters were a small minority in his town.

Life, whether human or otherwise, is no longer sacred to many of today's scientists, who actually believe that tampering with the genetic blueprints of living beings will somehow improve humanity and create a better world. And this disturbing reality became ever more apparent recently when genetic butchers at Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) announced their discovery of a way to manipulate the DNA of human embryos to obstruct normal gene transfer and create genetically…

Even though some food is labeled organic, the seeds may still have come from a GMO source; like if a small to mid-size farmer buys seeds or plants, such as tomatoes, from a Home Depot or Lowe's, and then plants them in organic soil and does not use pesticide, they are still GMO, but they don't get labeled as such. Who knows this? How do you avoid it? Did you know bees will fly 50 miles, cross-pollinating from one farm to another by carrying mutated genes from corporate GMO…

Ron Paul, in his historic farewell speech to Congress this week, asked 32 thought-provoking questions addressed to his fellow Americans.



It's very clear upon examination of these questions that something is very wrong with our government.

At this link are the questions: …

The reaction to my recent article on why Texas is uniquely positioned to secede from the union and run itself as an independent nation state reveals that very few people on the internet have any real knowledge of history. (Gee, is anyone surprised that people on Facebook have no clue what they're talking about?)



For the purpose of educating those who simply don't know these facts, I'm publishing…

A noted expert says it's not the tsunami of tax hikes and spending cuts coming down the pike that will bludgeon the nation's economy in the coming weeks, but rather a raft of poor corporate performances and a lack of global growth that will take their toll on the markets.



Marc Faber, author of the Gloom, Boom and Doom report, told financial network CNBC this week that the markets are set for a meltdown soon and could lose as much as 20 percent of their…

Dear fellow junk food aficionados: A great chapter of American history is coming to an end. The Texas-based Hostess company, the producer of Twinkies, Ho Ho's and other fine pastries, has been gutted by a union dispute and is closing its doors for good. A total of 18,500 people will lose their jobs, but even more catastrophically, we will no longer have Twinkies!



Hostess Brands Inc. today announced that it is winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S.…

A sanitation worker and Staten Island local, holding his hands to his head in horror upon seeing the destruction on Cedar Grove Avenue for the first time, repeated again and again, “They’re lying,” – he was referring to the death toll. He told us of another New York Department of Sanitation employee, only 22 years old, who was part of a crew that “lifted 50 bodies into a front-end loader” in the Midland neighborhood just a day earlier. Workers from the Sanitation Department were a constant…

On January 1, 2013, the world will return to a gold standard.

This isn’t guesswork. Banks in major economies across the globe have already adopted the rules.

In anticipation, central banks have been buying gold in large quantities. Turkey added 3.9 million ounces in the last year. Mexico has purchased 3.2 million ounces. Russia’s reserves stand at 29.2 million ounces — the highest in 20 years.

As they prepare for gold to become…

A New York man who was struck and injured by a police car was billed $1,000 by the police department for damage to the vehicle.

Jesse Zorski, 25, was hospitalized at the New York Downtown Hospital after the patrol car struck his left leg, caused him to fall into the side-view mirror and hit the ground while landing on his wrist. The young man was then hospitalized and later received an expensive medical bill totaling $1,200 that his family paid without insurance, the New York…

The data mining industry is booming with no signs of slowing down thanks to increasing integration with other systems like facial recognition and an…

In a letter penned on November 8, 2012, the heads of 20 of the nation’s largest aviation industry groups called on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acting Administrator Michael Huerta to continue to integrate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), better known as drones, into the American National Airspace System (NAS) in a timely manner.

The letter calls on the FAA to completely ignore…

He crippled CIA.gov and had his way with 4Chan, AOL and even Apple. There likely won’t be any high-profile hacks in the works for ‘Cosmo the God’ any time soon, though. The 15-year-old computer criminal has pled guilty to a slew of felony charges.…

Although many stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange suffered a significant drop in their value on the day after Barack Hussein Obama was reelected president of the United States, there was one industry that experienced a significant boost: small arms manufacturers. With the president threatening to further interfere with the rights of American citizens to keep and bear arms, those citizens are acting quickly to procure as many firearms as they can, and the companies that manufacture…

Tuesday's election will be regarded as a pivotal one in US history. For 30 years the top 1 percent has manipulated the masses to vote against their own interests. It was able to do that because the feelings of the white middle and lower classes about social issues overwhelmed their economic considerations.

But something interesting happened this year: high levels of minority and young voter turnout, together with an increased Obama-tilt among all voters earning less than $50,000 a…
