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.
The Rolling Stones, even back in 1989, didn’t want to have anything to do with Trump—but Cohl promised he would “control” Trump. Part of the agreement Cohl makes with Trump is that he can’t be associated with the Stones. At all.
“This shows that the United States has the capacity to join the 64 other countries that already require GMO labeling,” said Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin.
The released emails uncovered information showing that Clinton was instrumental in spreading chaos and extremism in Libya. Clinton also forwarded emails claiming a Sunni-Shiite war would be good for Israel and the West.
There is little ability left to continue to delude the American public about the state of the US economy. The numbers assessed at the FOMC meeting were, as usual, “revised” and the continued threat to raise interest rates was a ho hum exercise. The chips will fall where they may, and as a result we are starting to see a rise in the value of gold although this too may be carefully “managed” to prevent all out panic.
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.
The Senate actually rejected a bill that would favor corporations over consumers. Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety, said the vote was a “major victory for the food movement and America’s right to know.”
The role of the Trilateral Commission, struck in 1973 and it’s goal of one world government to be effected through destroying economies with trade deals. It is still very active behind the scenes as Obama’s appointment of 11 of the 87 current members indicates.
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!
Briefly put, one word was changed (“paragraph” became “subparagraph”) in a section relating to copyright infringement. But this one-word substitution drastically changes the substance of the document. Before, the language exempted states from applying certain criminal penalties in cases of copyright infringement when there was no market or economic impact on the copyright holder. The one-word substitution now means that most criminal penalties in these cases must apply even if there was no discernible impact on the copyright holder.
When Washington seeks to enact reforms, they often make the original problem worse, and are doing the same thing with the NSA ‘reforming’ USA Freedom Act, former Representative Ron Paul told Larry King. “I think the reform act [for NSA surveillance] is very very dangerous,” Paul said. “It’s not a slight improvement as some people argue.”
Monsanto has essentially been gifted a free pass with legislation intended to protect people and the environment. The author weighs in on the issue.
In January 2015, Oxfam, an international nonprofit organization that aims to eliminate poverty, published a report stating that 1 percent of the global population will own more wealth than the rest of the 99 percent combined by 2016. The Oxfam report provided evidence that extreme inequality is not inevitable, but is, in fact, the result of political choices and economic policies established and maintained by the power elite, wealthy individuals whose strong influence keeps the status quo rigged in their own favor. In addition to reporting the latest figures on global economic inequality and its consequences, the Oxfam study outlined a nine-point plan that governments could adopt in creating new policies to address poverty and economic inequality.
Brazilian and Argentinian doctors publish a report on microcephaly stating it is NOT CAUSED BY THE ZIKA virus but by a chemical larvicide added to drinking water in 2014 to kill mosquitoes. The chemical is produced by Sumitomo Chemicals, a “strategic Partner” of Monsanto. NO birth defects have EVER been reported associated with Zika infection even in areas with 75% population exposed. Yet the WHO continues to cry “epidemic” and push for yet another vaccine..
