After the levees broke, the Army Corps of Engineers quickly set a campaign in motion.



Falsehoods were put into the minds of Corps officials who made themselves available to the media.



There were over a dozen harmful falsehoods, but perhaps the most damaging one was what Corps Commander Lt. Gen Carl Strock told the New York Times.



Strock said New Orleans officials deserve a share of the blame for the failure of the…

The drama around “Two and a Half Men” didn’t end with Charlie Sheen. In a video published on YouTube today, Angus T. Jones, who plays Jake Harper on the hit CBS sitcom, trashes the show, calling it “filth” and begging people to stop watching.

Jones made his comments in an interview with the Forerunner Chronicles about his religious awakening. In the nearly 15-minute long video, he also talks about taking an “all inclusive evangelism class” and coming to the realization that “God is…

Directors fired as $2M in toys, nearly $250K in cash go missing from Salvation Army centres.

Mere days into its high-profile Christmas kettle drive and a busy donation season, the Salvation Army is grappling with two separate scandals that have led to senior personnel losing their jobs.

On Tuesday, the Salvation Army in Toronto announced $2-million worth of toys had disappeared from one of its major warehouses over a two-year…

Ottawa’s Salvation Army has fired its executive director following an internal audit.

Toronto-based Major John Murray of the organization’s public relations and development division, said $240,000 has gone missing from the George St. Booth Centre’s administrative resources account.

“We anticipate that is going to be all,” said Murray, who called it a “rather sophisticated fraud.”

The missing funds isn’t money that was donated, but that which came from government funds…

Barack Obama's presidency has been an inspiration to many Americans - especially nutjobs. Ever since the first-black-president-to-be appeared on the national political stage, a cottage industry of conservative conspiracy theorists has churned out bizarro, paranoid, and just plain…

A surprise attack

Wow. Telecom giants and repressive regimes are teaming up to use a little-known UN agency to make the Internet more expensive,¹ surveilled,² and censored.³

We need you to take a stand as part of a global community…

Its a crying shame - but then again - several politicians don't know, the meaning of the word shame.



THE UNITED STATES PENTAGON, was able to put in place, in a very short space of time, I must add; several thousands of soldiers, and, all sizes, shapes and weights, of equipments, most of which comprised; Weapons of Mass Destruction - And, 'they' this, across thousands of miles, on the international soil of IRAQ - But the GOVERNMENT of "THE UNITED STATES", still can't seem to…

The chemtrails have been abundant on the western and northern reaches of Sandy during these past few days, and the chemtrails have been thick associated with this storm coming in from the Pacific. These two events are being engineered into ONE MONSTER. This storm is intentional!

This is a storm to run from!

What is different from yesterday’s model forecast is that landfall is farther to the south, over New Jersey maybe even southern New Jersey with a slow progression over the…

Before Hurricane Sandy struck the northeast, the prevailing attitude in Washington, D.C. and much of America toward Katrina survivors was that hurricanes and flooding were New Orleans' problem.

Myself, a resident of that cultural gem, I was considered partly responsible for my losses when the government-built levees broke and flooded 80 percent of New Orleans. Why do I live in a region vulnerable to hurricane storm surge? Why should I be America's burden?

Forget the fact that…

The information I'm about to disclose should also have consequences for the British government, which for 92 years has played a pea and shell political…

It's one thing to be out in the countryside with no power - Even the suburbs are manageable - But over 250,000 people in an eight square mile area - many in high rises and some elderly and disabled?

Major holes in the city's promise to turn the power back on soon that no one seems to be willing to talk about.

Some truth about the 14th Street Substation I'd like to believe then, but I don't...What the city could be doing - and is not.

Its now being reported, that 300,000 gallons, or 336,000 gallons, and or 350,000 gallons, of oil, or diesel fuel, has been spilled - this, as a result of hurricane Sandy - but still; there appears to be no credible news (explanation) on the actual cause of this huge, mega, unprecedented, super environmental disaster (spill).
