A New Orleans police officer was laughing after he burned the body of a man who had been gunned down by police in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath, a fellow officer testified Thursday.
The testimony came during the trial of officer Greg McRae and Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann, who are charged with burning the body of 31-year-old Henry Glover in a car after he was…

I have written a Christmas story that I hoped would help heal young children who have lost a parent to combat. Turns out, Sam, the Grouchy As Usual Bear, a story of love, loss and magic, can be used to prepare young ones for loss, and a comfort for anyone who is grieving.

November 19, 2010 "Alternet" - -How did we get to the point of full body scans at airports, the massive personal intrusion that represents, and the tens of millions spent for machines that irradiate us as a consequence of merely flying from here to there?
The proximate cause is the attempted bombing of a December 25, 2009 Northwest airlines flight. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, an engineering student, attempted to mix, then detonate a bomb as…

I always tell my friends that a lame duck Congress is the most dangerous time for all of us in the two year cycle of a given U.S. Congress. Our representatives and senators seem to lose their inhibitions in this almost two month cycle, running rampant on our liberties like vacationers visiting Club Med.
The most recent evidence of this came this morning, in the form of a vote by the House Judiciary Committee on…

It seems the lame duck Congressional session is becoming anything but unproductive. Yesterday, we saw the cloture of the Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510), and today the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act was unanimously approved by the US Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday with a 19-0 vote. The COICA has been overwhelmingly viewed as a corporate hijacking of the internet by mega-media cartels. Indeed, it is the end of the free internet as we now it.

Mainstream medicine has been calling for more and more people to be placed on "miracle" drugs known as statins that lower cholesterol. There have even been suggestions that statins should be sold over the counter or given out free when people buy junk, fat-loaded fast food (
http://www.naturalnews.com/029467_s...). After all, the rationale goes, by lowering cholesterol, arteries won't clog and heart attacks and strokes can be…

Contrary to popular belief Codex Alimentarius is neither a law nor a policy. It is in fact a functioning body, a Commission, created by the Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Health Organization under the direction of the United Nations. The confusion in this regard is largely due to statements made by many critics referring to the “implementation” of Codex Alimentarius as if it were legislation waiting to come into effect. A more accurate phrase would be the “implementation of…

Research from Imperial College London is now taking cloaking invisibility using metamaterials into the fourth dimension — time — creating the potential to hide whole events, so an object could move from one region of space to another, completely unseen by anyone watching.
Research published today (November 16, 2010) in IOP Publishing’s Journal of Optics explains how the propagation of light can be manipulated to create a “temporal void,” allowing undetectable moments of…

The US government is preparing to appoint a privacy czar and introduce legislation to address growing concerns over Internet privacy. The announcement is expected to come within weeks along with a report from the US Commerce Department, though at this point, the details are apparently far from being hammered out.
The government has historically taken a largely hands-off approach to online privacy, leaving the industry to self-regulate except in extreme cases. According to unnamed…
