President Obama makes his first State of the Union address on Wednesday, and he's going to call for us to cap spending on everything EXCEPT the military.
Getting a grip on the deficit is fine. But spending on war and weapons is the FIRST place we should look to save money, not the LAST.
Obama's priorities are backwards. But Congress gets the final vote on how to spend tax dollars. And their reaction to the State of the Union -- whether they clap or shout… Continue

This is a short, concise, easy to read and easy to understand very straight forward history of Haiti. Although it omits details of American involvement in coups and Haiti's value for resources such as gold, copper, oil and as a transit hub for narcotics it's nevertheless quite accurate.

Madison, WI (OpEdNews) --As someone who has promoted the investigation of political events that appear to have involved "pulling the wool" over the eyes of the public, I must say that I have never read a more corrosive approach toward the Constitution than "Conspiracy
Theories" by Cass R. Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule of the Harvard School of Law. The massive blunder at the core of their conception is… Continue

Tony Blair is to be paid at least £200,000 by a City firm accused of profiteering from the financial crisis that brought Britain's banks to their knees.
The former prime minister has been hired by the hedge fund Lansdowne Partners to deliver four presentations to staff about the world political situation. Mr Blair, one of the world's most highly paid speakers, reportedly commands between £50,000 and £170,000 for a single speech.
I've read a lot about vitamin D and of course take it every day especially during the winter months here in Minnesota where the sun doesn't shine but I was wondering what other people are taking, the amount in I.U., international units.
Anyone?
And just in case you didn't know, about 90% of the US population is deficient in vitamin D. You can only get vitamin D in sufficient amounts from the sun and sunscreen blocks it.

Corporate forces, long before the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, carried out a coup d’état in slow motion. The coup is over. We lost. The ruling is one more judicial effort to streamline mechanisms for corporate control. It exposes the myth of a functioning democracy and the triumph of corporate power. But it does not significantly alter the political landscape. The corporate state is firmly cemented in… Continue

This is by Gordon Duff, who, you might remember, is a former Marine and Vietnam Veteran.
Five members of the Supreme Court declared that a “corporation” is a person, not a “regular person” but one above all natural laws, subject to no God, no moral code but one with unlimited power over our lives, a power awarded by judges who seem themselves as grand inquisitors in an meant to hunt down all hertics who fail to serve their god, the god of money.
