Shortly after the WTC attacks on 9/11 Kurt Sonnenfeld shot hours of footage at ground zero, which he never handed in. Of particular interest was what he found beneath World Trade Center 6. He says inside the building he came across a vault that had been cleared of its contents before the planes struck, indicating prior knowledge. “One thing I’m certain of is that agencies of intelligence of the United States of America knew what was going to happen and at least let it happen,” he said.

“The Senate bill would allow manufacturers to post ‘call for more information’ phone numbers or even smart phone ‘QR codes’ if they so desire—meaning that if you have a phone with the right app installed, a steady hand and a solid data connection you’ll be able to access a website that will tell you what’s in the food you’re buying.

Assange, who has repeatedly denied the accusations of sexual assault made against him, believes the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued by Sweden is an American tactic meant to allow the U.S. government to extradite Assange.

In the state of Texas, the pro-secessionist movement, known as the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), has asked state governor Greg Abbott to answer an appeal. The appeal will ensure that the state goes to the ballot box in 2018, to determine whether to break away from the rest of the United States, or not.

Can we get out of a central bank that finances the wars that make us less safe? Can we exit Executive Orders? Can we exit the surveillance state? The PATRIOT Act? Can we exit NDAA and indefinite detention? Can we exit the US worldwide drone program that kills innocents overseas and makes us ever-more hated?
