Police State - Raid On A Raw Milk Farm From Jack Blood Live


Maybe you are not too interested in raw milk and therefore not too interested in the laws regarding it.....but shouldn't we be concerned about a Government that raids Amish and other family farms with guns drawn? And i am aware that the first defense of these over the top actions is that well, if not regulated, people could sick....but that is not the problem in these cases, and if you think for one second that the Government is doing this to protect you than you are sadly, sadly mistaken. It is quite the opposite....i am convinced, as evidenced by their own actions and laws, that the Government is attempting quite the opposite - to harm us, dehumanize us, and this is done in part by depriving us of alternatives to their Corporation Machine Food and "Medicine", (a la Chemtrails, Vaccines). Thanks to Jack Blood for this

Four Horsemen, CIA & the Columbian Coca Express

The two were busy shipping cocaine through CIA agent John Hull’s Costa Rican ranch. They fled Columbia after ordering the assassination of Columbian Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla and found refuge in CIA employee Noriega’s Panama, where that same year Nicaraguan contra godfather and Mossadegh coup master Vernon Walters was meeting secretly with Columbian President Julio Turbay to launch a top-secret US military base on the Columbian island of San Andres.

The Caribbean island quickly became a major smuggling route for Columbian cartel cocaine.

With the passage of NAFTA, Mexico became the main transshipment point for Salinas-greased cocaine entering the US from Columbia. The first stage of the new Free Trade Agreement of the America’s is being carried out under the name Plan Columbia.

Lethal Injection the Latest Chapter in America’s History of Botched Executions

The American correctional system has repeatedly sought to deploy our native ingenuity to devise the ultimate corrective: an engine of death that will dispose of our villains in a civilized manner.

The quest, which goes on to this day as states refine the technique of lethal injections, has been fraught with disappointments.

Hanging was the traditional means of execution from the founding of the Republic, but it had the disadvantage that it often failed to break the neck. Sometimes, a charitable executioner would scramble underneath the gallows and pull down on the condemned person’s feet until he heard the satisfying snap of breaking bone, but this measure to hasten death was never written into law, perhaps out of due respect for the sensitivity of executioners.

Labor, Occupy and Tea Party Supporters: 'It’s the Empire!!'

P.A. Farruggio
Activist Post

The truth of the matter is that we are all serfs under this current 21st century American feudalism. Centuries ago the barons and lords of the manor earned in excess of hundreds of times what their serfs did, as do the owners and CEOS of our present economy. Yet, this is but the tip of the iceberg of a much more frozen and devious block of wealth and power: Our Military Industrial Empire.

I refuse to use the word complex to describe this conglomeration of private interests mingled in with our Pentagon and the myriad of national security agencies. Sadly, all that these movers and shakers of our foreign and domestic policies care about is profit and power! They rely on the majority of we serfs to make sure that the cages do not rattle too much as they carry us off into the zoo.

Syrian Opposition Officially Abandons UN Peace Plan

Activist Post

Note: It is curious that the West is so seemingly outraged by the "massacre" in Houla Syria when NATO has been committing such atrocities along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border for now well over a decade. Hundreds of civilians have been murdered by US drone attacks (here, here, here, and here) with the only difference seeming to be the manner in which these atrocities are reported - US mass-murder downplayed, obfuscated and buried under terms like "suspected militants" while any death in Syria, regardless of evidence is boldly pronounced as the work of the Syrian government.

Laying the Foundations for Preemptive Nuclear War Against Iran

Nile Bowie, Contributor
Activist Post

As prospects for a preemptive strike on Iran remain ever present, the recent round of talks between the P5+1 and Iran in Baghdad on May 23rd, 2012 have resulted in a familiar stalemate. As a precondition for any deal to stop higher-grade uranium enrichment, Tehran requested immediate relief from economic sanctions as a show of reciprocity [1]. Iranian chief negotiator Saeed Jalili emphasized Tehran’s right to develop peaceful nuclear energy as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while the P5+1 refused to scale back economic sanctions, insisting Iran suspend its 20% uranium enrichment program [2]...

Death Squads Ravage Syrian Town - West Calls For 'Action'

Tony Cartalucci, Contributor
Activist Post

The Western media has now admitted Syrian troops were not responsible for the "massacre" in Houla, Syria, and are now instead blaming the violence on "pro-regime thugs."

Despite this backpedaling, the US, UK, and French governments are moving ahead with their calls for "action" and have continued to condemn the Syrian government, which according to the activists they are allegedly citing, were not even responsible for the massacre.

Proving that the massacres were carried out by "pro-regime thugs" and not Al Qaeda terrorists who are renowned for such tactics and known to be operating in the area alongside the so-called "Free Syrian Army," will be very difficult for the West if it intends to use this latest tragedy to justify further meddling, especially action from the UN Security Council...

Gloom of Night

Congress leaves the postal service unable to do its job and unable to stop.

BARRON'S: The U.S. Postal Service is about to go insolvent, unless a gridlocked Congress writes a check real soon. Actually, the postal service long has been a ward of the state, unable to support itself because of political interference and clumsy regulation intended to support its half-million workers at the expense of its customers. Unlike a real self-supporting business, it can't set its prices or control its costs or determine the services it will offer without saying "Mother, may I?" to Congress and the Postal Regulatory Commission.

Target on Your Cyber Back: DHS Has a List of Words Deemed ‘Suspicious’

The Department of Homeland Security has flagged hundreds of words as “suspect” – and while many make sense, like “Al Qaeda,” some are just plain odd. For example, the DHS may dig through your cyber life if you write something about snow. Or pork.

So, you’ve just come back from a beach holiday in Mexico and posted about it on your blog. Or maybe you’ve tweeted about skiing lessons? Updated your status, saying you’re stuck home with food poisoning?

All those things will tweak the DHS antennae, according to a manual published by the agency. The Analyst’s Desktop Binder, used by agency employees at their National Operations Center to identify “media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities,” includes hundreds of words that set off Big Brother’s silent alarms.

Memorial Day: 1% mocks US military with unlawful wars; arrests are when?

*hyperlinks and video live at source*

The 1% mock America’s war dead on every Memorial Day because they continuously damn more US soldiers to kill and die in unlawful wars.

This is an insult to our military past and present, and their families. Because an unlawful war is a literal attack upon US soldiers, it is also treason by the 1% upon American military.

Current US wars are not close to lawful: war law is the legal victory all of our families sacrificed to achieve through two world wars: no nation is allowed to use their military in armed attack unless under attack by another nation’s government.

Israel lobby’s favorite senator tries to erase Palestinian refugee status for millions

One senator from Illinois, though, wants to write off those millions and change who is classified as a Palestinian refugee. Mark Kirk, a hawkish Republican whose political career has been boosted by right-wing Israel advocates, is leading a drive to fundamentally redefine who a Palestinian refugee is in the eyes of the United States.

Critics see the move as just one step in a larger strategy to take the issue of refugee rights for Palestinians off the negotiating table, and to cut funding from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the UN agency that assists Palestinians. One senior Senate aide who helped craft the amendment told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that “this will have major implications for future negotiations over final status issues with regard to refugees.”

West's Undermining of UN Paves Way for NATO Syrian Intervention

Western propagandists unanimously defer to "activists" despite hundreds of UN monitors on the ground in Syria.

Tony Cartalucci, Contributor
Activist Post

Reports this week of the Syrian military "slaughtering civilians" near Homs have been reported relentlessly by Western media outlets, citing solely "activists" who have been consistently exposed as manipulating and purposefully distorting the reality on the ground in Syria. After episodes including "Gay Girl in Damascus," who turned out to be in fact a "middle-aged American man in Scotland," and "Syrian Danny" who was caught directing fake gunfire before a staged "casualty report" given to CNN's Anderson Cooper, the word of "activists" in Syria, openly sympathetic to the Free Syrian Army, is clearly less than credible...

The DEA’s conduit to Viktor Bout gets a slap on the wrist: Andrew Smulian sentenced five years

Independent journalist George Mapp was the first to publicly break the story of alleged weapon dealer Viktor Bout's imminent transfer to Florence Colorado's Super Maximum security prison (dubbed Supermax) to be canceled.

Judge Shira A. Scheindlin — whom also presided over the Viktor Bout trial and sentenced him to 25 years — now sentenced Andrew Smulian who earlier pled guilty to participating in FARC weapon deal to 5 years.

Smulian will be able to deduct that time from his 60 month sentence and will be a free man in about 10 months.

Bilderberg Here We Come

The scene on opening day of the now renown (previously secretive) Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly Virginia on May 31st might actually feel surreal as activists and members of the alternative media converge on the property line of the Westfields Marriott to document the event as over 130 of the worlds most predominant businessmen, financiers, and oligarchs gather behind closed doors to discuss the future of the planet amongst themselves.

In fact, the meeting will be the 60th annual meeting of the Bilderburgers and some of the most predominant alternative members in the world will be on location to try and grab their shot at exposing the elites agenda and gain explicit intel on the attendees, topics, and highlights of the meeting.

Television networks are having a busy month trying to stamp out new TV-watching technology, including telling a court that skipping a commercial while watching a recorded show is illegal. Yesterday, Fox, NBC, and CBS all sued Dish Network over its digital video recorder with automatic commercial-skipping.

Destructive neoliberal mandates harm US and European societies. Canada's conservative government force-feeds similar policies.

It's also about sharply hiking college tuition fees, student anger, and criminalizing public responses...

UN finally realizes terrorist groups responsible for Syrian bombings

Madison Ruppert, Contributor
Activist Post

Since the violence in Syria first broke out, Syrian President Bashar al Assad stated that the attacks focused on civilians were the work of foreign agents and terrorists, an assertion which the Western media regularly mocked.

I have repeatedly pointed out that large sections of the opposition, such as the Free Syrian Army (FSA), are nothing more than terrorists, evidenced by their willingness to brag about carrying out terrorist attacks.

Furthermore, the reality of terrorist activity in Syria has been nothing short of blatant for months now and the Western rhetoric dating back to over a year ago completely glosses over these facts.

Earlier this year we witnessed a massive pro-Assad demonstration in Damascus which focused on protesting the “one-year conspiracy” to overthrow the Assad government, something which the Western media chose to ignore, for obvious reasons...

Five Ways Public Schools Prepare Us For Prison Life

It didn’t occur to me that the six-foot fence around the perimeter was meant to keep me in. That is, until the day I decided to leave.

Fed up with being kicked around the schoolyard, I decided to do what any intelligent human being would do: go home. I soon learned this wasn’t a viable option for a sixth grader.

Looking back, it’s not real clear who was surprised the most by the situation — the school authorities at my assumption that I would actually leave, or me, at the revelation I had no choice in the matter. Apparently there were laws. Huh, who knew?

The view of the playground fence from the jungle gym was never quite the same.

Washington’s Hypocrisies by Paul Craig Roberts

The US government is the second worst human rights abuser on the planet and the sole enabler of the worst–Israel. But this doesn’t hamper Washington from pointing the finger elsewhere.

The US State Department’s “human rights report” focuses its ire on Iran and Syria, two countries whose real sin is their independence from Washington, and on the bogyman- in-the-making–China, the country selected for the role of Washington’s new Cold War enemy.

Hillary Clinton, another in a long line of unqualified Secretaries of State, informed “governments around the world: we are watching, and we are holding you accountable,” only we are not holding ourselves accountable or Washington’s allies like Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the NATO puppets.

Fear of Bank Runs in U.S. Hit All Time Highs

Army general retracts statement about suicide

Why are so many members of the U.S. Armed Forces committing suicide. Neither the officers,noncoms or enlisted seem to have a clue!

An Army general has retracted comments he made earlier this week on his official blog after he had attended the memorial service of a soldier who committed suicide in front of his twin 6-year-old daughters.

At the week’s start, Pittard wrote on his “Thoughts while working out in the gym” blog on the post’s official site: “I have now come to the conclusion that suicide is an absolutely selfish act. I am personally fed up with soldiers who are choosing to take their own lives so that others can clean up their mess. Be an adult, act like an adult and deal with your real-life problems like the rest of us.”

The entry has since been scrubbed.

IAEA: Iran moving closer to nuclear missile production

Classic disinfo! Misleading headline too!

The IAEA suspects that Iran has raised its enrichment threshold towards weapons-grade level. The hunch is based on evidence found at the Fordo enrichment plant a day after P5+1-Iran talks ended with no agreement.

­The UN's atomic agency reportedly found traces of uranium enriched up to 27 per cent, diplomats told AP. This is seven percent higher than Iran’s known enrichment grade.

Even though this is substantially below the 85 per cent (and often higher) level normally required for weapons-grade uranium, the IAEA suspects that Iran has moved closer to producing the material needed to arm nuclear missiles.

Canada protest spreads as arrest list hits 2,500 benchmark

Ontario students have pledged to take to the streets in solidarity with their protesting fellows in Montreal and other cities of Quebec. The students are defying emergency laws the authorities are imposing to curb down the wave of dissent.

Students in Quebec have been protesting for more than 100 days now, with violent clashes between police and protesters reported on several occasions. The latest demo on Wednesday night resulted in a police crackdown on demonstrators.

About 700 people were detained throughout the province, which pushed the total number of detentions over the months over 2,500. That is at least five times more than during the 1970 crisis, when martial law was declared in Quebec in response to the actions of radical nationalists.

Afghanistan – We Forgot History and We Repeated It

Santayana’s famous dictum about those who forget history being condemned to relieve it is nowhere better observed than in the mountains of Afghanistan.
One of my favorite artists was the superb Victorian painter Lady Jane Butler who captured in oil the military triumphs and tragedies of the British Empire.

Her haunting painting, "The Retreat from Kabul, (also known as "Remnants of an Army,") shows the sole survivor of a British army of 16,500 during the first Anglo-Afghan War in 1842, Dr. William Brydon, struggling out of Afghanistan. All the rest of the British occupation force were killed by Afghan tribesmen after a futile attempt to garrison Kabul.

This gripping painting should have hung over the NATO summit meeting last week in Chicago to remind the US and its allies that Afghanistan remains "the graveyard of empires."

How the US Sold Africa to Multinationals Like Monsanto, Cargill, DuPont, PepsiCo and Others

The new G8 scheme to help African farmers does nothing to address the problems that are at the core of hunger and malnutrition. More likely, it will serve only to further poverty and inequality across the continent. The elites of the first world work together with the elites of the third world in the name of helping peasant farmers, but it nobody consults the peasant farmers themselves. Perhaps Obama could spend a week or two living with his Kenyan family members to find out what they actually want and need before he suggests another program to “help” the people of Africa.

NATO summit on power and control

The NATO summit put on display how we can and do conjure up foreign and domestic threats to justify government control of our society. For it is fear that justifies not just our obscene military spending, but more importantly, the official violation of our civil and constitutional rights and the concession of political power to corporations.

This fear is then used to justify a growing military alliance even when there is no credible threat. It is the basis for the militarization of our police force, the erosion of our civil liberties and globalization of our economy.

This fear arises because the United States, more than any other country, still lives in the shadow of the Cold War. The culture of fear created at that time and continuing to this day frames our every government action and our federal spending of almost $1 trillion per year on our "security." The NATO summit is the celebration of that culture of fear and constitutes a show of force.

Bird's eye view of Zionism's and Israel's strategic aim

Uri Avnery argues that the longstanding strategic aim of Zionism and Israel - a Jews-only state in all of the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River and the prevention of an Arab Palestinian state - is a pipe dream and that Israelis has better formulate a new national aim based on peace and coexistence.

”In a bird’s eye view, the Zionist-Israeli policy looks like a river striving towards the sea. When it meets an obstacle, it goes around it. The path deviates to the right and to the left, sometimes even going backwards. But it perseveres with a wondrous determination towards its goal.

“The guiding principle was to accept every compromise that gives us what we can get at any stage, but never let the final aim out of our sight.

“This policy allows us to compromise about everything, except one: an Arab Palestinian state that would confirm the existence of an Arab Palestinian people.”

Bilderberg Power Masters Meet in the US

Every time a “Bilderberg Meeting” takes place, important things happen. The last time they met in the US was an election year, 2008 – and the world got Obama.

This year they’re back in the US: will they decide who the next president of the United State

­When in 2008 they gathered from June 5 to 8 in Chantilly, Virginia – just a stone’s throw from the Washington DC – Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were neck-in-neck in the battle for the Democratic Party’s presidential candidacy.

On June 5 of that year, Barack and Hillary mysteriously “disappeared” for some hours “somewhere in the DC area.” Their agendas blocked out, they clearly sneaked off to “Meet the Bilderbergers.”

A Pentagon Contractor Devised Attacks On Two USA Today Reporters

Psy Ops

Earlier this year, two USA Today reporters—Tom Vanden Brook and his editor Ray Locker—became the victims of sophisticated online attacks that seemed to be designed to destroy their reputations.

A slew of fake websites, social media accounts, and even a Wikipedia page popped up. Content was published in their names, such as past articles written by Vanden Brook that contained inaccuracies —suggesting that the public should be wary of the USA Today reporters credibility.

The trigger for the attacks proved to be a report they’d been working on about highly-expensive U.S. military propaganda efforts in the Middle East.

Exposing Global Governance

The notion of mutually assured destruction is a military strategy and national security policy wherein each side has enough weaponry to destroy the other side, thus ensuring mutual destruction in the event of war. But in the 21st century, mutually assured destruction is not limited solely to militarism.

Our increasingly global economy has virtually assured that when one nation’s economy collapses, all economies suffer. As such, nations feel compelled to interfere in the economies of other nations to protect their own interests.

Turn Out The Lights – The Largest U.S. Cities Are Becoming Cesspools Of Filth, Decay And Wretchedness

Once upon a time, the largest U.S. cities were the envy of the entire world. Sadly, that is no longer the case.

Sure, there are areas of New York City, Boston, Washington and Los Angeles that are still absolutely beautiful but for the most part our major cities are rapidly rotting and decaying.

Cities such as Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis and Oakland were all once places where middle class American workers thrived and raised their families.

U.S. Army General: The Whole Northern Hemisphere is at Risk of Becoming Largely Uninhabitable

You may have entertained the idea of an improbable civilization ending events such as a ‘global killer’ asteroid, earth crust displacement or massive solar storms, but what if there existed a situation right now that was so serious that it literally threatened our very existence?

According to a host of scientists, nuclear experts and researchers, were are facing exactly such a scenario – and current efforts may not be able to stop it.

When the Fukushima nuclear plants sustained structural damage and a catastrophic failure of their spent fuel cooling systems in the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and Tsunami in 2011, it left the government of Japan, Tokyo Power and nuclear regulatory agencies around the world powerless to contain the release of deadly radiation.

Obama Leaves Monsanto in Charge of Ending Hunger in Africa

At the Group of 8 (G8) meetings this past weekend, President Obama and the leaders of the rest of the world's richest nations abandoned their governments' previous commitments to donate $7.3 billion a year to end hunger in Africa, after disbursing only 58 percent of the total pledge of $22 billion and giving less than 6 percent in new money they pledged three years ago.

Instead, rich nations will leave the problem in the hands of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition where private corporations will invest $3 billion over 10 years -- Monsanto has committed $50 million -- beginning in three countries, Tanzania, Ghana and Ethiopia.

House Passes HR 4133 Binding the US to Israel and Their War Agenda

Susanne Posel, Contributor

Without any mainstream media coverage at all, the House of Representatives passed the United States – Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 (USIESC).

The USIESC, written by Eric Cantor, claims there is a need to provide Israel with unlimited military and financial aid as a result of the disturbances caused by the Arab Spring.

Israel will have an essentially unlimited amount of funds allocated to them through the Federal Reserve Bank. The country will also enjoy an “expanded role of NATO” that consists of an “enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises”.

The USIESC pledges the US government’s “commitment” to assist Israel in remaining a Jewish State; as well as protection from the UN if the UN Security Council resolves to hold Israel accountable to international laws.

Legitimizing Global Tyranny: Moving Towards World Government

That the implementation of a one world government is not some magical or mysterious suggestion that can only be understood by an arduous reading between the lines, as some naive debunkers have suggested, has been disproven by the fact that the aim of global government has been spelled out for us word for word by overeager transnationalists and the think tanks they tend to assemble in. Like any governmental decree, the implementation of an actual world state to replace the nation-state of old requires a theoretical legitimization. The people designated to clear the theoretical brushes, so to speak, have been picked from the marble halls of academia. In this article I will shed some light on some of these.

The nuclear power industry and FEMA both love the new changes because..... being flexible "will help keep responders on their toes." There is one new drill. Guess what it is...

Just after France legislators and officials moved to ban Monsanto’s genetically modified strain of GMO maize over environmental and health concerns, the European Union has decided to step in and re-secure Monsanto’s presence in the country — against the very will of the nation itself.

This should come as no surprise when considering the fact that the United States ambassador to France, a business partner to George W.

In fact, ambassador Craig Stapleton went as far as to say that the nations should be threatened with military-style trade wars...

Quebec government makes it illegal to protest against the government

(NaturalNews) America has some warts, no doubt, but it's hard to beat our Bill of Rights, which everyone knows includes the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble peacefully. While Canada has no such document, the country still has a reputation of supporting such rights. So a new piece of legislation from the Quebec legislature, aimed at curbing peaceful protests, is a dramatic departure from the country's history of tolerance and democracy.

The legislation, called Bill 78, seeks to mitigate protests this spring over higher education costs. It would impose new limitations and multiple requirements for public demonstrations, while threatening stiff penalties for anyone disrupting college and university classes, the Globe and Mail reported.

Oddly enough, the law - which, as of this writing, was waiting to be signed by the lieutenant governor of the province - has a shelf life; it would expire July 1, 2013. Considered a piece of emergency legislation, the bill aims to curb protests ahead of the government's planned university tuition fee hikes.

Eleven years of war in two operating theaters have taken a severe toll on America’s military.

Fukushima disaster is 'nuclear war without a war'

(NaturalNews) It has been more than a year now since the massive 9.0-plus magnitude earthquake and corresponding tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the eastern coast of Japan, sending untold amounts of nuclear radiation into the environment. And to this day, the threat of nuclear fallout is ever-present all around the world in what some have described as a "nuclear war without a war."

Though governments and many media outlets have downplayed the disaster, its aftermath continues to threaten the health and wellbeing of plants, animals and humans not only in Japan, but all around the world. Far worse than Chernobyl, the Fukushima catastrophe truly is a nuclear holocaust event with gradual, long-term consequences that we are only just now beginning to recognize and grasp.

In case you haven't noticed, many of our formerly great manufacturing cities such as Detroit are rotting away while shining new factories and skyscrapers are going up all over China. If you go into any major retail store today and start turning over products, you will find that hundreds of them have been made in China and that very few of them have been made in America. As a nation, we buy far, far more from China than they buy from us. As a result, China is absolutely swimming in cash and they have been looking for things to do with all that money.

So-called “austerity” at every level, with perpetual and increasing aggregate debt rather than monetary and credit reform. This psychopathic economic “leadership” literally kills a million children a month from needless poverty, harms billions, and loots trillions of the 99%’s wealth.

TEPCO: Fukushima Cesium Release Over 4 Times Higher Than Chernobyl

The latest TEPCO estimates of the amount of radioactive fallout released from the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan since the March 11th disaster now puts the level of Cesium 137 released into to the atmosphere 4.23 times higher than the amount released from Chernobyl.

According to the data, Fukushima is estimated to have released of 360,000 terabecquerels (1 tera is 1 trillion) of radioactive Cesium 137 into the atmosphere compared to the release of 85,000 terabecquerels of Cesium 137 during the Chernobyl accident.

This figure also only includes the amount of cesium released into the atmosphere and does not consider the amount released into water at the plant.

It should be noted that when declaring land contaminated with radiation to uninhabitable the levels of Cesium fallout is what is considered due to its 30 year half-life.

The athletes themselves had nothing to do with the ongoing conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors, but were drawn into the conflict when they were targeted and taken hostage, used as political bargaining chips by their captors, and ultimately killed in the process. Now, some 40 years later, it is the Israeli government attempting to use their memory for political leverage, demanding that a moment of silence be observed for the athletes in London, fully cognitive of the controversy, emotions, and backlash it is sure to stir...

With Afghanistan beginning to assume a larger role for its own security, one development within the power shift includes U.S. Army soldiers needing special warrants prior to entering homes during combat missions, according to an Army Times story.

Study: A Chernobyl-Fukushima Meltdown Likely Every 10 to 20 years

A newly released scientific study calculates a 'severe nuclear meltdown' resulting in worldwide nuclear fallout, similar to Chernobyl and Fukushima, is likely to occur once every 10 to 20 years.

The study was not based not on theoretical models predicting future performance such as the ones used to grant nuclear reactor operator licenses, but instead focuses on actual past operating performance at nuclear reactors.

The study also calculated the resulting nuclear fallout from such a nuclear meltdown and found that in such events only a small portion of the radioactive fallout falls near the event site itself with 75% of the radioactive contamination spreading beyond 1000 kilometers from the plant.

Forget About the Republicrat Conventions, Everyone Needs to Occupy Bilderberg

This past weekend there was a huge turnout for the protests in Chicago at the NATO convention, as there should have been.

There has been an unfortunately small antiwar movement in recent years and it was very refreshing to see thousands of people from across the country showing their disgust with the wars of conquest that are being waged across the planet in their name.

Aside from the typical propaganda that you would expect during times of dissent, the mainstream media is also making predictions about which major political event that activists are turning their attention toward.

Their choices are unfortunately not surprising, the democratic and republican national conventions.

Bush War Crime Conviction Exposes Failure of 'International Law'

When international law designed to stop war crimes is used by war criminals

Tony Cartalucci, Contributor

A historic ruling handed down by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal found former-US President George W. Bush and his associates guilty of war crimes including torture. Using standards provided by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and based on the precedent set by the Nuremberg trials, the tribunal succeeded in observing existing international standards in reaching its verdict before forwarding the results to the ICC and the United Nations...

DARPA developing 'on-demand production' of genetically engineered bio-products

Madison Ruppert, Contributor
Activist Post

The Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) – often described as the mad scientist research arm of the Pentagon due to their fantastical projects like weaponized hallucinations, dirt cheap miniature spy computers, increasingly lifelike humanoid robots and more – is now in the process of developing a kind of factory for man-made organisms.

Their new program, called “Living Foundries,” was originally announced last year and aims to create a type of assembly line for genetically engineered products – assumedly for military applications since that is what DARPA is all about.

DARPA recently announced eight research awards totaling some $15.5 million in funds as part of this initiative including:..

After Swine Flu Failure, New Study Inspires Scientists to Develop Universal Vaccine

Susanne Posel, Contributor
Activist Post

A new study to be published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, says that those who were vaccinated with the swine flu vaccine have developed antibodies against many other strains of flu; including the H1N1 strain.

The swine flu vaccine, simply called the H1N1 vaccine, is the same one administered in 2009 to save the population from the pandemic that wasn’t.

The researchers of the study had hoped to develop a universal vaccine to be administered to everyone. They were attempting to protect against a broad range of flu strains and viruses, say Rafi Ahmed, study researcher and director of Emory University’s Vaccine Center.

Each year, a new vaccine for the flu is developed because 1) the potency of the vaccine wanes over time, and 2) the strains mutate so quickly that the quest for a universal vaccine has been simply out of reach for scientists...

The Continually Expanding Definition of Terrorism

Though the United States has been engaged in a Global War on Terror for more than a decade, the U.S. Government surprisingly does not have a standardized definition of terrorism that is agreed upon by all agencies.

The State Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and a number of other government agencies all utilize differing definitions of what constitutes an act of terrorism.

This lack of agreement has allowed individual agencies to present different and, in some cases, far more inclusive definitions of terrorist acts enabling the use of expanded investigative procedures that might not be applicable in other agencies.

NATO Summit in Rearview: The Big and Expensive Non-Event

The NATO summit held in Chicago, Illinois has been hailed as a success by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and President Barack Obama. But has America’s police state erased its 1968 “police riot” or did administration media shills merely apply white out?

The lack of incidence was a testament to, among many things, the continued abdication by the American left of their traditional anti-war stance, having since 2008, been demonstrably inoculated by the Obama presidency. Those who did make it to the protest, an estimated 3,000 souls marching last Friday, were reported to berepresenting over 100 groups of international origin or part of the Occupy movement at large.

The relative peace enjoyed by the City of Chicago during the protests was also likely due to the last minute decision to move the G8 conference to Camp David. Had the G8 simultaneously occupied Chicago beside its military arm – NATO – the affair may have been more, well – lively.

‘Scientists’ Say Eating Organic Food Makes You a Jerk

Do you eat real, organic food? If you do, you must be a jerk, according to a new ridiculous ‘scientific study’ that most likely has financial ties to factory farm corporations and junkfood makers across the planet.

Instead of discussing the wide variety of health benefits of eating real food — the kind made without harmful pesticides that actually make you stupid, the researchers use participants to show how ‘eating organic can make you a jerk’.

Now spanning the mainstream media headlines, the ‘scientists’ use the fact that those who eat organic are ‘stingier with their volunteering’ time as one of the reasons as to why it could ‘make you a jerk’.

Electric Power Generation under NYS Article X

The New York State Public Service Commission draft (link for comments) from the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment for the proposed regulations to the Power NY Act 2011, known as Article X is deficient in its mandate.

Since a SEQR review for electric generation projects that fall under the new regulations is no longer a requirement, New York State is effectively writing new regulations that abdicate the oversight role of the Department of Environmental Conservation.

The motive to fast track permitting approval at the expense of environmental protection demonstrates a bias in favor of developer projects.

Only Bombing Iran Into Submission Will Satisfy Israel

Brit Dee, Contributor
Activist Post

Iran and six world powers are meeting today for nuclear talks in Baghdad - and Israel is unsurprisingly unhappy about such diplomacy.

In a clear sign that Israel will not be satisfied until Iran's nuclear facilities have been bombed, Israeli Defence minister Ehud Barak yesterday accused Iran of "deception" over its recent agreement to allow UN inspectors into the country.

A statement released by Barak's office accused Iran of trying to "reach a technical agreement that will create a deception of progress in talks in order to reduce the pressure ahead of talks tomorrow in Baghdad and postpone harshening of sanctions". He further went on to dictate how attendees of the Baghdad talks should deal with Iran, demanding that "It's forbidden to make any concessions to Iran. World powers' demands must be clear and unequivocal."

When you look at the crime of Fukushima, a crime that will destroy life on earth as we now know it, it becomes clear that when you examine means (HAARP technology, Stuxnet being present on Japanese servers October 2010), motive (world growing ever more antagonistic against Israel, falling Israeli population demographics, Japanese warming relations with Iran, sharing nuke technology with Iran, refusing to go along with NWO, continued competitive advantages over corporations like GM), opportunity (Israeli company running security at Fukushima) and intent (Israel repeated threats of a "Sampson Option", it becomes obvious that Israel is suspect number one in any investigation as to the deliberate origins of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear nightmare now threatening the planet.

Disturbing police brutality targeted journalists at NATO summit

Madison Ruppert, Contributor
Activist Post

In the wake of the anti-NATO protests surrounding the Chicago NATO summit on Saturday and Sunday, it has now emerged that there were several troubling incidents of vicious police actions targeting journalists.

Unfortunately, police brutality in the United States has become so commonplace that it is almost to be expected, and when officers stand up to this savagery they are targeted and can even face being fired.

There were numerous incidents reported after the chaos had died down, including some journalists who were arrested and injured by police simply for doing their job and covering the protest.

Photographers found themselves targeted even more frequently than other journalists, likely because they were there recording the hard, indisputable evidence of this brutality...

Obama Uses CIA Funded al-Qaeda Attacks in Yemen to Declare National Emergency

Susanne Posel, Contributor
Activist Post

During a military parade rehearsal this week, more than 90 people were killed after a bomber wearing an army uniform self-exploded amidst a group of soldiers at al-Sabin Square. The terrorist group al-Qaeda claimed the bombing, saying that one of their members carried out the attack.

Along with the estimated 90 killed, defense ministry officials said 222 people were injured in the attack. The al-Qaeda plant was present moments before Defense Minister Nasser Ahmed and the army’s chief-of-staff were scheduled to greet the troops. The majority of the dead were stationed from the Central Security Organization.

Yemen has been the stage for al-Qaeda’s attacks against the president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who recently took office. Hadi has declared war against al-Qaeda, saying it is a “religious duty’ of the state to do so.
