A new first-in-the-nation law will shield residents from arrest as they use direct action to stop fracking-wastewater injection wells.

A tiny community sitting on a 27-square-mile piece of Western Pennsylvania wanted to send a big message to the energy company planning to deposit toxic fracking wastewater under its neighborhoods. And its 700 residents wanted it to be perfectly legal for them to loudly object.


Grant Township had seen what happens when people nationwide take to the streets to protest bullying corporations: Arrests. Lots of them.


So Grant Township planned ahead. Two weeks ago, it passed a law that protects its residents from arrest if they protest Pennsylvania General Energy Company’s (PGE) creation of an injection well.


Residents believe this law is the first in the United States to legalize nonviolent civil disobedience…

“Print the Money”: Trump’s “Reckless” Proposal Echoes Franklin and Lincoln

*

Even broken clocks are right twice a day.


WEB OF DEBT BLOG


“Print the money” has been called crazy talk, but it may be the only sane solution to a $19 trillion federal debt that has doubled in the last 10 years. The solution of Abraham Lincoln and the American colonists can still work today.



“Reckless,” “alarming,” “disastrous,” “swashbuckling,” “playing with fire,” “crazy talk,” “lost in a forest of nonsense”: these are a few of the labels applied by media commentators to Donald Trump’s latest proposal for dealing with the federal debt. On Monday, May 9th, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate said on CNN, “You print the money.”

KILL THE MESSENGER: Who Killed Franklin D. Roosevelt? – By Fletcher Prouty (Archive)

How Eleanor Roosevelt blocked Stalin’s efforts to expose FDR’s poisoners.

“…Stalin took a few steps around the office, and almost in a rage roared, “They poisoned your father, of course, just as they have tried repeatedly to poison me”.



“They, who are they,” Elliot asked – “The Churchill gang!” Stalin roared, “They poisoned your father, and they continue to try to poison me…the Churchill gang!”:





(WHO KILLED FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT – By Fletcher Prouty)




The World War II Cairo conference between Pres. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek ended on Oct. 26, 1943. That evening I was given orders to fly a group of participants from Cairo to Tehran. Up to that time, I had not been aware that there was going to be a Big Four meeting of the Super-Powers in Tehran.


As I went out to the plane that morning to get it ready to go, two limousines came from the city…

How Our Food and Health Systems Are Killing Us

Mask of Deception


Directed by Phillip Rainford and Gail Blundell (2013)


Film Review


Mask of Deception, whose title is somewhat misleading, is best described as an Australian public service documentary about ways our food and health system are killing us. Overall I think viewers will find it useful to have all the major health risks covered in one place.


Unfortunately the film finishes a bit raggedly, with a diffuse attack on the Australian health care system and its long waiting lists, shortage of nurses, and efforts to suppress natural food supplements. The call for civil disobedience at the end seems to come out of nowhere.


Sadly western medicine has grown into an industry dedicated to marketing pharmaceuticals. In a a health system geared towards health promotion and disease prevention, our doctors would be warning us about these health risks instead of handing us prescriptions.


Some of the specific risks (gluten, fluoride, mercury-laden dental amalgam, white sugar, artificial sweeteners, transfats, liquid vegetable oils, vaccinations, mammograms, statins and chemical food additives) mentioned are fairly well covered by Natural News, Dr Mercola and similar natural health sites.


Others are less well known. For example, I was totally unaware of the link between high soy diets (especially for infants on soy formula) and hypothyroidism and type I diabetes.*



*The soy common in Asian diets has been heavily fermented, in some cases 5-7 years, to make it more digestible.

American war of Independence: who fired the shots heard round the world?

More hidden history about the US War of Independence.


OffGuardian




On April 19, 1775 the shot(s) heard round the world began the American War of Independence. But who fired them? And why? The traditional story will be familiar to most, but in this video James Corbett talks to James Perloff of JamesPerloff.com about what he claims is the hidden history and context of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the players who set up the plot, and the plan to engineer a “Lexington Massacre” that could sell war to the Continental Congress.

Wikileaks reveals new Brazilian president Michel Temer was informant for US intelligence

It’s now pretty clear – from the alternative media at least – that the recent impeachment of Brazil’s president is a US/CIA coup.

Most of us knew that this is the modus operandi of the US, no? But thank you Wikileaks for keeping us in the know.

Brazil’s interim President Michel Temer provided political intelligence to the US National Security Council and military in his capacity as leader of the ruling PMDB party, the WikiLeaks investigative website revealed Friday, citing its 2006 cables.


In two January and June 2006 cables marked “Sensitive,” Temer relayed his views on party unity and upcoming presidential elections to the US Southern Command in Miami and the US National Security Council among other recipients, WikiLeaks said.


“Brasil’s new president #Temer was an embassy informant for US intelligence, military,” the website tweeted.

How Bill Clinton Tried to Privatize Social Security in 1998

In this presentation, author Thomas Franks talks about his recent book Hey Liberal, Listen Up: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People. The focus of his latest book is the blue collar backlash that has resulted in the probable selection of fake populist Donald Trump as the 2016 Republican presidential candidate. Franks places the blame for this squarely on Democrats, owing to their abandonment of working people.


As Franks describes it, the pro-Wall Street swing of the Democratic Party is based on a very deliberate strategy by Bill Clinton and his supporters to “screw over” their traditional power base (ie African Americans and organized labor).  Clinton proudly justified this strategy with the observation, “they have nowhere else to go.”


Franks most shocking revelation is that Clinton took office in 1992 with a deliberate determination to repeal the New Deal. In 1997, he made a secret deal with Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich to ram a bill through Congress privatizing Social Security (which Clinton mentions in his 1998 State of the Union address). Thanks to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, this bill never happened.

These sick fuckers need treatment – at present the only effective treatment is chemical castration.


YOUR PERCEPTION IS NOT REALITY




Published on May 10, 2016

Several employees at the NSA have been investigated for child porn, some outright confessing. In an effort to curb what appears to be a rampant problem, NSA director of security Kemp Ensor just reported that the NSA will now begin spying on their own employees while they are at home.

“They have lost their freedom for the truth, so they remind us how important it is to know the truth,” Italian sculptor Davide Dormino told the media in Berlin’s Alexanderplatz.

Putin Says He Has Proof Princess Diana Was Killed By British Royal Family

*

*

Hopefully Putin’s evidence will also address Dodi’s link to Adnan Khashoggi (his uncle). Khashoggi was the primary arms dealer in Iran Contra. Daniel Hopsicker (in Welcome to Terrorland) reveals he was also part owner of the Florida flight school where the 911 hijackers trained in aero-terrorism.


YOUR PERCEPTION IS NOT REALITY




Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a call-to-action to the people of Britain, saying that following the murder of their beloved Princess Diana 18 years ago, the country must prosecute the Royal family after conclusive proof has emerged that they were responsible for her assassination.

During a solemn Christmas luncheon at the Kremlin, Putin accused Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother, Prince Philip, and Prince Charles of arranging the murder of Princess Diana via MI6 agents in Paris. He says that after speaking with Elton John on the telephone last month, he was privy to irrefutable evidence that the royal family had blood on their hands.



During an informal and reflective speech, Putin told a select group of colleagues and esteemed state-approved journalists that Diana’s brutal assassination brought him unfathomably to tears at the time in 1997, and that he knew deep down that her death was due to foul-play.
