E. coli bacteria are naturally found in animal intestines and are usually harmless. But when virulent strains contaminate food, like spinach or peanuts, they can…

Rick Santelli’s Planted Rant was to take the heat off big biz and redirect it towards an obviously corrupt congress. They also point blame at the bad…

Is Libertarianism a Sign of Mental Illness?
Posted by Daniel J. Mitchell
I don’t know whether this belongs in the comic-relief category or the future-threats category, but the Harvard Law School is having a conference to analyze the “free market mindset.” The basic premise of the conference seems to be that people who believe in limited government are psychologically troubled.

A few months ago I was listening to an
Alex Jones podcast and heard this amazing idea of Masonic architecture and how it shapes reality. The show featured Texe Marrs the author of "Mysterious Monuments" and they discussed how images and buildings help shape our view of the world and the future it holds.
I wondered if this could have validity and I thought of one of…

On my discovery and research of the power of positive thought I came across this simple statement that I've shared with friends and family, and everyone admits how much more empowering it feels compared to a simple No. I have had two friends quit smoking by simply changing their way of saying 'No' to 'No, thanks'.
It allows freedom and creates space, preventing something inside yourself from resisting the suggestion. It is mental Jujitsu, a powerful defense against the most armed…

Now that this information is official, the morons who said he did not really mean it when he voted for warrantless wire taping can stop with the hero worship. The reason the government says, "can't tell you State's Secrets" is those who run it have so much outrageous crap going on that if we knew the extent of it we would bring down the government.
