Finally, somebody says “no” to big pharma’s tax dodging… but will it hold up?
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
We are very concerned what appears to be a glaring and very violent assault on small farmers, Black farmers, and the right to self-determination in this country, via the recent seizure of North Carolina Farmer Eddie Wise’s land. On Wednesday, January 20, 2016, around 7:30 a.m., at least fourteen (14) Federal Marshals in full military gear with full-scale military guns drawn, along with several county sheriff officers, descended on the 106 acre farm in Nash County, NC, and forcibly escorted Eddie Wise and his wife, who was still in bed and suffers from a debilitating medical condition, out of their home and off the land that they have owned for more than 20 years.
Inadequate rest for pilots and constant flight time switching do not allow the pilots bodies time to rest adequately. This causes deep fatigue and affects judgement. Pilots are punished for declaring unfitness to fly, and many have quit. Too few pilots remain to safely fly. This problem is not limited to Dubai or Emirates but is an industry wide concern. Predictions of crashes by pilots have gone unheeded.
Big pharma is making the biggest tax evasion move ever to save billions, and U.S. taxpayers will be left holding the bill. Read how Sanders is fighting the pharmaceutical giant.
legalizing marijuana in the USA has defeated the Mexican drug cartels more than the 40 year “war on drugs” and the 1 trillion dollars spent on it. Addictions are a health not a criminal problem and should be treated as such. Mexico benefits too as the 27,000 people a year killed in drug war violence will now live.
New federal guidelines have just been introduced across the country, and what they mandate is quite disturbing to civil libertarians. The FBI has now instructed high schools across the nation to report students who in any way criticize government policies and what the report phrases as “western corruption.”
Now, when you go to a bank with the intent to borrow money, the contract bears only one name, i.e. only you sign the “loan agreement”. If you read it very, very carefully, you should perceive that the reason that the banker doesn’t sign it is because he/she is not a party to the contract – only you are. In the loan agreement, you promise to pay the banker a very large commission for arranging a loan. (When purchasing a house, for example, this can easily be twice the price of the house itself.) So who, then, is the other party to the contract? Who is “lending” you the money? Well, you are!
Fukushima. Oh, that old thing? Is that still a problem? Is that still a problem? Well, yes, and it’s killing you…Welcome to Little Rock, AK, Madam, where the radiation is 1,625 counts per minute, which is 325 times normal. Ah, you just arrived from Miami FL where there are 1,462 counts per minute, only 292.4 times normal. Well, enjoy our local hot springs, and mattresses, too!
The revolution of freedom can only begin inside of you. We all have to take a look at ourselves and ask what mindsets, philosophies and mental biasses we carry, that have helped to create or perpetuate the current system we have – a system which is so blatantly over-centralized, corrupt and dysfunctional.
Filming the police without a specific challenge or criticism is not constitutionally protected, says a Federal appeals court in Pennsylvania.
Think that the U.S. government and it’s agencies are independent of big American Corporations? Think again (and read this!).
In many ways, DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) is the engine of the military-industrial complex, the heart at the center of the Pentagon that keeps America in constant state of weapons innovation and defense spending.
Big thumbs up for Apple who bravely and wisely stood up to the FBI and refused their request for a “master key” that would allow the FBI access to a terrorist’s iphone — as well as YOURS and MINE. This is a must-read!
Fourteen years ago, after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the United States government initiated its “war on terror,” with the invasions of Afghanistan in 2001, which expanded into Pakistan, and of Iraq in 2003. While the corporate media has occasionally acknowledged the 6,800 American soldiers, and the 7,000 contractors who died in Iraq and Afghanistan, they consistently ignore Iraqi and Afghani deaths, which exceed one million, giving the western public no context to understand the attacks lead by the Islamic State in Syria and Levant (ISIL).
