Reporting from San Jose — Inside a Silicon Valley company's windowless vault, massive servers silently monitor millions of heads of lettuce, from the time they are plucked from the dirt to the moment the bagged salad is scanned at the grocery checkout counter.
That trail can be traced in seconds, thanks to tiny high-tech labels, software programs and hand-held hardware gear. Such tools make it easier for farmers to locate possible problems — a leaky fertilizer bin, an unexpected… Continue
Either our nation's obesity problem is just as bad as they say, or Costco knows something we don't, because the aircraft carrier-scaled big box store is now offering enough (horrifying) food to last you a year for a cool $800.
The monstrous, 5,011 serving package, courtesy of food outfitter Shelf Reliance (hey, at least we'll have kept our senses of humor during doomsday!) claims their end days buffet contains "only top-of-the-line products," "developed with everyday menu planning in… Continue

If not all of these people, most of them have controversy following them. These are the faces behind the continual fraud of 911.…

President Obama's Department of Education, where Secretary Arne Duncan appointed a longtime homosexual activist who was part of the sometimes-violent Act Up organization to head his "safe schools" office, now is proposing to force colleges and universities to submit to a political agenda, according to critics.

I am against your plans to make war against my people and my land. Is it a small thing in your eyes for you to make war against me saith the Lord? You trust in the technology of the “Fallen Ones” and the hidden and secret weapons that you believe will keep you safe. Has it not dawned on you, that as you study in your war colleges, that betrayal and destruction have come from traitors within and armies without?
The new Ottomans and the new Byzantines are poised for an intercept as the US stumbles in the current Great Game.
The neocon plan to transform the Middle East and Central Asia into a pliant client of the US empire and its only-democracy-in-the-Middle-East is now facing a very different playing field.

I'm 28. Each day i notice more and more apathy among my generation. I try and try to talk about current events, political issues with my friends. They turn away in disgust, they can not be bothered by such trivial things.
I turn on the news and see more and more evidence of the West's imperialistic/tyrannical empire creating victims and murdering civilians. Why don't the average citizens blink, why aren't they screaming.
Because.
They have their Prozac, their Oxycontin, their… Continue

Sometimes your jaw drops. You know they lie. Know that increasingly desperate Democrats will say anything to cling to power, but occasionally the rhetoric just blows you away. Take the following, blustered last week in Taunton, Massachusetts, by Hillary’s husband:

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) Thursday signed into law a bill that decriminalizes the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana. The bill reduces simple possession from a misdemeanor to an infraction.
Currently, small-time pot possession is "semi-decriminalized" in California. There is no possible jail sentence and a maximum $100 fine. But because possession is a misdemeanor, people caught with pot are "arrested,"… Continue
Monopoly, which turns 75 this year, is celebrating with a modern redesign.
The game's anniversary edition, which features a circular board, eliminates cash altogether: instead of pastel-colored paper money, little real estate magnates will gobble up house and hotel pieces with credit cards. And gone, too, are the game's classic metal playing pieces, which are replaced with small, engraved plastic… Continue
