More Problems With Glyphosate: Rice Growers Sound Alarm

Adding to the natural rice industry’s woes after Bayer CropScience contaminated a third of the US rice supply with transgenic rice in 2006, the widespread application of Bayer’s glufosinate and Monsanto’s glyphosate is reducing crop yields, and burning and deforming rice plants that survive. [Image: Glyphosate deforms the growing points on rice plants.] The Mississippi Rice Council (MRC) has sounded a national alarm over damage caused by aerial drift of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup,... Read article

The American Flag Is “Offensive” in Schools Now

Increasingly, it seems that the American flag is joining toy guns and dodgeball on the banned-from-school list.  And the latest story on this front involves The Butterfield Elementary in Orange, Massachusetts, where a teacher told an 11-year-old boy that he may not hang his depiction of Old Glory because it might “offend” another student. The boy, Frankie Girard, had drawn the picture in art class but then found that his teacher didn’t share his patriotism.  Says his father, John, “He was denied hanging the flag... Read article

Language, Culture and Country

Have you noticed dozens of languages being spoken by citizens and illegal aliens in America? Do you feel the disrespect and the separation? Do you feel violated? Are you angry that new citizens and illegal aliens disrespect us so much that they refuse to learn our language? Have you heard the growing Spanish speaking TV and radio stations across the USA? Do you feel like your country is being stolen from you along with your language? Do you feel the confusion it creates? It’s much worse. Former President Bill Clinton created... Read article

The Democrats Attack Unions Nationwide

Obvious political truths are sometimes smothered by special interests. The cover-up of the Democrats’ national anti-union agenda is possible because the truth would cause enormous disturbances for the Democratic Party, some labor leaders, liberal organizations and, consequently, the larger political system. Here is the short list of states that have Democratic governors where labor unions are undergoing severe attacks: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon, California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Hawaii, Minnesota, Maryland... Read article

NASA captures stunning video of comet hitting the Sun

By Michael Bolen | YahooNews.ca… NASA has captured video of a comet hitting the Sun and the footage is getting plenty of buzz online. One viewing is all it takes to see why. The footage was captured by NASA’s Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) on May 10 and May 11 and posted to NASA Goddard’s Flickr page. It shows what is believed to be a comet from the Kreutz family hurtling into the Sun. The Kreutz family of objects is believed to have originated from a single large comet that came apart centuries... Read article

IMF chief Strauss-Kahn caught in “Honey Trap”

I have no way of knowing whether the 32-year-old maid who claims she was attacked and forced to perform oral sex on IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, is telling the truth or not. I’ll leave that to the braying hounds in the media who have already assumed the role of judge, jury and Lord High Executioner. But I will say, the whole matter smells rather fishy, just like the Eliot Spitzer story smelled fishy. Spitzer, you may recall, was Wall Street’s biggest adversary and a likely candidate to head the SEC, a position... Read article

Why Nobody Can Trust The Mainstream Media

Do you have faith that your news provider is reporting the truth? Always covering every side of the story? Never biased? Is your mainstream media source run by individuals with absolutely no conflict of interest? Who owns the company, that owns the company, that owns the TV or radio station? Is there a group of people who dominate the supply of information? Do you think you will hear the truth about their ambitions and activities? If the channel boss tells his reporter to spin a story in a certain direction, which do you... Read article

Chisculub Diary–A Case of the American Meme

I first came to Mexico in the early seventies. Straining at the confines of the small midwestern liberal arts college where I was in my second year, I responded decisively to a small ad in a progressive magazine, advertising a free university in Cuernavaca, Morelos. The founder of this project, Ivan Illych, had been gaining some notoriety for his concept of “De-schooling America,” and his institute, CIDOC, featured an array of radical thinksters of the post-flower power era.–most notably, Paul Goodman and John... Read article

The Flimsy State of the Christian Church

I received this email several weeks ago: Please listen here. It is encouraging to see the Charismatic community waking to reality but I am disturbed that it did not happen years ago and wish their analysis contained an effective depth.  Although he conducted the interview Rick Joyner is not shown on the video.  He is a Charismatic leader who heads up Morning Star Ministries.  Lt. General W. G. (Jerry) Boykin is a retired army officer who is a Christian.  He speaks with convincing sincerity.  These are both well... Read article

Feminism – Greatest Hoax Against Freedom (Part I)

At the May 5, Fox news Republican presidential debate, Sen. Rick Santorum was asked what he meant when he wrote — “Many women… find it easier, more professionally gratifying, and certainly more socially affirming, to work outside the home… Here, we can thank the influence of radical feminism.” – It takes a Family 2005 Sen. Santorum responded that he was pointing out that “radical feminism” had degraded the stay-at-home wife and mother while idolizing women who chose careers over marriage... Read article

Home Rule Takes A Beating As Maine Defeats Food Freedom Bills

In the state that made international news this year when three towns passed a food sovereignty ordinance, two bills that would have bolstered them at the state level met with defeat in Maine’s legislative Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee. Sponsored by Rep. Walter Kumiega, LD 366 was rejected by the Ag Committee on May 11. The raw milk bill would have obviated licensing for the direct sale from farmer to consumer and protected small operations from overly burdensome rules recently imposed at the bureaucratic... Read article

The tide has turned in favor of the Assad government

As many of us observe the great Arab and Islamic awakening of 2011 in stunned amazement, as it rapidly spreads across the region,  this observer agrees with those who declare, “ well it’s about time—Godspeed  to the  rebels and goodbye to the despots.” Indeed, most of the despots had been installed and propped-up by the US government and its allies without many American citizens’ awareness or liking. What I continue to find in Syria and what I saw during my first 24 hours in Damascus shocked me.  It was not... Read article

Libyans die as Obama mocks laws, makes pals with rebels (Video)

From: /RT… It’s now a “Regime Change War” “In Libya, rebels have reportedly recaptured the city of Misrata, with help from NATO warships and airstrikes. The city has been under siege from Colonel Gaddafi’s forces for nearly three months, with hundreds of reported casualties. NATO bombs have targetted Gaddafi’s compound in the capital Tripoli, allegedly killing several people. This follows an April coalition attack which killed some of his close family members. However, NATO maintains... Read article

G.O.P.’s “Security Act” Will Repeal Due Process and Declare Permanent War

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-CA) is pushing a bill through congress that will repeal due process and give the President nearly-unlimited powers to wage war wherever and whenever he chooses without congressional approval. Because the language in the so-called Detainee Security Act of 2011 is (intentionally?) vague, it’s impossible to know at whom it is directed. Is the real focus on suspects captured by the military in the so-called War on Terror or civilians who oppose US foreign policy? It’s... Read article
