WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In unusually frank comments, the top U.S. intelligence official acknowledged on Wednesday that spy agencies can target for killing Americans who are involved in terrorism.
"We take direct action against terrorists, in the intelligence community," Dennis Blair, director of national intelligence, said.

Legendary author of scores of books and pamphlets demolishing the lies of war making mainstream media, historian Eustace Mullins died Tuesday, Feb. 2, at the home of his caretaker in a small town in Texas.
“He was absolutely BRILLIANT in his research, writing and verbal presentations, and as honest a man and scholar as our country has ever produced. In all the interviews I had the great…
As far as we know, and if you don't count Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. and Robert F Kennedy and others, no American that we know of has ever been targeted for assassination by the CIA. In fact targeted assassinations aren't really acknowledged by the CIA. They eliminate terrorists, they don't assassinate or murder human beings.
That's about to change as an American born citizen who has the unfortunate, these days, belief in Islam, a fierce opposition to Capitalist Imperialism and… Continue

There's a good chance you may be eating a livestock drug banned in 160 nations.
CounterPunch / By Martha Rosenberg
While researchers and scientists investigate the cause of our diabetes, obesity, asthma and ADHD epidemics, they should ask why the FDA approved a livestock drug banned in 160 nations and responsible for hyperactivity, muscle breakdown and 10 percent mortality in pigs, according to angry farmers who phoned the manufacturer.
I've been following this case as closely as I can which isn't very closely since the mainstream media doesn't seem to know it exists and the little they've printed in the past hasn't been believable. The testimony below gives great insight into what happened. It seems very likely that US soldiers shot an innocent women, kidnapped her three children and tortured her. It also seems very likely that because of this and because there's little media attention she'll be spending a great many years in… Continue

DES MOINES, Iowa – Dreaming of biting into a garden-fresh cucumber sandwich this summer? Better order your seeds now.
A poor growing season last year and increased orders from Europe could make it difficult for home gardeners to get seeds for the most popular cucumber variety and some vegetables this spring. Farmers, who usually grow different varieties than home gardeners, aren't likely to be affected.
Seeds for what's known as open-pollinated cucumbers seem to be most… Continue
