How to Make Money Selling Drugs
How to Make Money Selling Drugs
Directed by Matthew Cooke (2013)
Film Review
How to Make Money Selling Drugs is a biting satire on the ludicrous “War on Drugs” and its perverse effect of increasing American drug use.
Mimicking an investment informercial, the mockumentary guides viewers on how to move up the ranks from gang-backed street peddler, to private retailer, to distributor, to domestic and/or international smuggler, to drug cartel king pin.
It also offers expert advice on how to beat a case, how to conceal drugs in a vehicle and how to get crooked cops to work for your franchise. It also profiles an ex-cop who can get you off if the police plant narcotics in your car.
My favorite part of the film is a cameo by Freeway Ricky Ross, who late San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Web made world famous for his role in distributing cocaine the CIA smuggled into the US to fund their illegal war against Nicaragua.

“Evidence Points To Another Snowden At The NSA”
Source: Zero Hedge
Last week, following the news that a previously unknown hacker collective, “The Shadow Brokers” had hacked and released legitimate hacking tools from the NSA’s own special-ops entity, the “Equation Group”, initial speculation that Russians may have penetrated the US spy agency – suggested by none other than Edward Snowden – shifted to the suggestion that the agency may be housing another “mole” insider. As we noted on Thursday, a former NSA source told Motherboard, that “it’s plausible” that the leakers are actually a disgruntled insider, claiming that it’s easier to walk out of the NSA with a USB drive or a CD than hack its servers. Michael Adams, an information security expert who served more than two decades in the US Special Operations Command, agreed that it’s a viable theory.
“It’s Snowden junior,” Adams told Motherboard. “Except he doesn’t want to end up in virtual prison in Russia. He’s smart enough to rip off shit, but also smart enough to be unidentifiable.”
Today, in an op-ed by cybersecurity expert, James Bamford, author of The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA From 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America, and columnist for Foreign Policy magazine, writes that this is increasingly looking as the most probable explanation, and that Russia had nothing to do with this latest – and most provocative yet – hack.
This is what he think is really going on behind the scenes, courtesy of Reuters.

Russia-China-Iran Alliance Could Push the US out of Much of the Middle East

“Unless the U.S. wants to confront these players directly, it has no choice but to accept that they have lost a war they directly and indirectly started through covert CIA operations that began in 2011 (and as some would argue, well before that).”
New Russia-China-Iran Alliance Could Push the US out of Much of the Middle East
Darius Shahtahmasebi
(ANTIMEDIA) When the current Syrian conflict first erupted in 2011 — and then enflamed in 2012 — a small minority of the American public probably wondered why President Obama was not intervening to help the Syrian people as he had done in Libya (they were likely completely unaware the president had already been interfering heavily in Syria since the conflict began). However, some pundits speculated that Obama would eventually intervene directly, and that this intervention would be the beginning of the end of the American empire as we know it.
What started out as a seemingly hollow prediction has become as true a statement as any. First, American involvement began with funding, arming, and training violent rebels to try to overthrow the Syrian government. Then came attempts to misrepresent so-called “intelligence”…

Private Military Contractors Fighting US Wars

These numbers do not include contractors supporting the CIA or other intelligence community activities, either abroad or in the United States.
Source: Strategic Culture
The US is expanding military operations overseas without actually increasing the number of regular troops deployed there. The military spends great sums to hire private intelligence contractors to do the fighting.
The Department of Defense has for the first time indicated that it was hiring private military contractors (PMC) for operations in Syria.
The nature of the US mission in Syria is highly sensitive; little information is available in open sources. According to a Daily Beast report, military contractors would be working inside Syria alongside the roughly 300 US troops (Special Forces – SOF) already deployed there.
In Iraq the number of contractors working for the Defense Department had just about doubled from 1,300 to 2,500 since last summer. The number is not capped. Most of them are working in security, transportation, construction, communication support, training, management and administrative roles. Nearly 70 percent of the…

FDA claims Frosted Flakes are healthier than avocados, highlighting agency incompetence and corruption

FDA goes to bat for Wall Street (as usual).
YOUR PERCEPTION IS NOT REALITY
(NaturalNews) The FDA is supposed to be a trusted organization, but many people who have even the remotest inkling of basic nutrition are scratching their heads over the agency’s official definition of “healthy.” You don’t need an advanced science degree to wonder how a highly processed cereal made in a factory could be considered healthier than a fruit plucked directly from a tree, but that’s exactly what the FDA would have you believe. That’s right: according to the FDA, Frosted Flakes are healthier than avocados!
The system by which it classifies food as healthy or unhealthy is very basic and outdated. It suggests that foods that have low amounts of sodium, fat and cholesterol, along with some “beneficial nutrients,” are considered healthy, without bothering to distinguish between unsaturated and saturated fats.
This is extremely misguided to say the least, as the source of a fat is a big consideration…

Britain’s Squatters Movement
Give Us Space
Directed by Claudia Tomas (2015)
Film Review
Give us Space is about the grassroots movement which has formed in response to the British housing crisis. It features fascinating interviews with squatters and other housing activists. All are extremely critical of Conservative policies that make it virtually impossible for working people to find affordable housing in London.
In addition to the current recession, which has driven down wages, the mortgage/foreclosure crisis and the government sell-off of subsidized housing, British workers also confront skyrocketing house prices and rents due to speculation by foreign buyers (who purchase homes they don’t intend to live in as assets).
As one activist points out, Asian countries charge foreign buyers a 15% tax to discourage speculation in their property market. In Britain, in contrast, the government actively encourages developers to market their property to foreign buyers.
For me the most interesting part of the film was the history of Britain’s squatters movement, which first began after World War II. At the time, there were insufficient homes to accommodate soldiers returning from the front.
In 1946, squatting in vacant buildings was so widespread that the government permitted local councils to charge squatters rent.
The movement experienced a resurgence in the late sixties with the release of the Ken Loach film Cathy Come Home and again following the 2008 economic downturn.

Nigella Lawson in her burkini on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Photograph: Matrixpictures.co.ukSabba – A few years ago, TV celebrity cook, jewess Nigella Lawson made the headlines when she wore a ‘burkini’ while holidaying in Australia. The UK media were extremely soft and understanding and found tons of good reasons to explain and justify her choice to cover from head to toes, one of them being that covering up is the best protection against skin cancer (just look at the Tuareg people and see how they fight negative effects of sun exposure). Here is what the Guardian had to say:
“On a beach, a woman is expected to expose her body, and it’s that refusal which has captured attention. Lawson is defying our social conventions to protect herself – her privacy and her skin. And there is a sneaking understanding, even admiration, in many quarters for her gesture. Evident among all the women…

Research published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives has found a correlation between pregnant women living near pesticide application sites and a significant increase in the prevalence of autism and developmental delays in babies.
The conclusion was reached based on a population control study that observed the effects common crop chemicals have on gestational exposure.
“We evaluated whether residential proximity to agricultural pesticides during pregnancy is associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or developmental delay (DD) in the Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and Environment (CHARGE) study.”
Using commercial pesticide application data from the California Pesticide Use Report from 1997–2008, researchers assessed the impact the chemicals had on…

FOOD FRAUD: Have We Really Lost 93% Of Food Varieties In 100 Years?
*

This phenomenal loss of food diversity (thanks to the corporate takeover of our food supply) has very frightening implications for food security and human health. Especially as dietary diversity is one of the most important determinants of healthy intestinal bacteria – which controls our immunity and the health of our nervous and endocrine system.
Source – exposingtruth.com
– You have probably heard that we have 93% fewer food crops available today than 100 yeas ago. That a great portion of our food diversity has gone extinct and disappeared. It seems logical when you look at the infographic above based on a 1983 survey of the National Seed Storage Laboratory undertaken by the Plant Genetic Resources Project of the Rural Advancement Fund , and it has been spread and quoted widely.
It isn’t hard to believe considering this since we are experiencing an extinction rate of approximately 1000x the normal background rate and have seen an average loss of 52% in over 10,300 cohorts measured since 1970. But, a more detailed examination of the facts leads us to see that the diversity of human food crops, unlike general biodiversity, has not shrunk significantly overall.
It is also an odd choice to compare all commercially available seeds from…
