Obama’s "end of Iraq war" speech must have shattered any remaining belief in him. Forced to appease both his supporters and the warmonger right-wing, who denounce him as a Muslim and a Marxist, Obama resorted to Orwellian DoubleSpeak. He could only announce an end to the war by praising the president who started it and the troops who fought it. Yet, as most earthlings, if not Americans, surely know by now, the war was based on a lie and on intentional deception. The…

The uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story, writes Christopher Booker.

If one thing more than any other is used to justify proposals that the world must spend tens of trillions of dollars on combating global warming, it is
the belief that we face a disastrous rise in sea levels. The Antarctic and

Israeli intelligence steps up its activity in the U.S. — and gets away with it.
by Philip Giraldi
Israeli government claims that it does not spy on the United States are intended for the media and popular consumption. The reality is that Israel’s intelligence

Reading this week’s headlines about the egg salmonella crisis may leave one with the impression that we need more government control and
we need it now. The feeling one is left with after listening to
mainstream pundits and FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg is eerily
familiar - almost as if the same crisis template that was applied to the
financial crisis is now being used to further progress centralized
control…

Is it Taxation, Censorship or Both?by William L. Anderson
It seems that the news each day brings a fresh set of government outrages, from police beating up bystanders to prosecutorial misconduct
to regulation of some peaceful conduct. Not surprisingly, governments
fight back when angry citizens publicize the abuses.

(NaturalNews) It's always amusing to see how quickly consumers can be
worked up into a false fear frenzy by health authorities. We saw it last
year with the overhyped H1N1 swine flu scare which was fanned into a
flaming fear fest by WHO advisors on the take from vaccine
manufacturers. Now we're getting a new round of fear-mongering from many
of the same sources who are… Continue
