Fixing The Woes Of Our Nation
It seems that we are reading and hearing more and more scare stories about the out-of-control national debt and the probability of the "too-big-to-fail" banks going into bankruptcy and bringing on another world depression. While it may happen, it will be done by design, and by making a majority of people caught up in the matrix of materialism and debt believe the great lie. In truth the debt, while now measured in the trillions, got that way because of actions by our banks, the federal government and the military industrial complex.

Hydrogen Engines Have Always Been Possible
The continued reckless burning of carbon fuels to propel our cars, trucks, aircraft and ships and heat our homes and businesses now threatens to be a death sentence for the human race. And it was totally unnecessary. Engines now exist that burn such clean fuels as methane, hydrogen, and natural gas. But the powerful oil and gas industry has succeeded in maintaining its influence over our government and the minds of the nation's automobile owners. And it is killing us.

Humanity Is Under Attack – Defining The Enemy
Our food is injected with toxic chemicals, the pharmaceutical industry has goaded multitudes into buying and consuming pills that are attacking our bodies, we are ignoring all of the signs that our continued consumption of carbon fuels is heating our planet, and we have been brainwashed to submit to ongoing enslavement by employers and political leaders. What is wrong with this picture?

Aspartame Declared Save? Don't Believe It
A 2007 report by a panel of American, British and Dutch “experts” could find no credible evidence that the artificial sweetener aspartame is unsafe, a Reuters News story said. The panel, in an industry-financed study, rejected the notion that aspartame causes cancer, neurological damage, learning problems or seizures as reported by some health agencies. Two studies conducted in Italy, which involved heavy doses of aspartame given to rats, came to a similar conclusion. The problem with the 2007 study is that it was financed by the aspartame industry and did not involve original research. Instead the panel assessed existing studies on the safety of aspartame. The researchers failed to look at what the stuff is doing to human brain cells.

Federal Reserve Bank, N.Y.
Have Money Powers Stolen The Gold?
While getting information from The Abba Father about future storms looming for the Northeast Coast we received a strange message that didn’t make much sense at the time. The Abba Father said: Federal Reserve will no longer be a problem for others. It is now under another roof, not there (the Federal Reserve building on Long Island at 33 Liberty Street). It was severely damaged so another place was used to store the money. This building is only a dummy now. Not real.” At one time the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reportedly held about 7,000 tons of gold bullion in a vault constructed 80 feet below street level and 50 feet below sea level.

The Corporate Plan: Keep Them Scared
Have you ever wonder why the stock market makes the U.S. economy look so healthy while so many Americans are struggling just to make ends meet? Have you also wondered why there has been no push to raise the minimum wage or why many skilled workers are still listed among the unemployed? Consider this: the corporate giants appear to like it this way.

The Abnormal Concept Of Ownership
The great wall of division among humans throughout written history has always been wealth. Wealth in turn can be interpreted as ownership. Those with wealth possess property, they control society’s monetary supply and consequently power. Imagine living in a counter society where ownership of "things" does not exist. Believe it or not, such social groups have always existed but in primitive tribal settings. Their very existence strongly suggests that property ownership has been the invention of collective behavior by what we call civilized people. It has been said that when Europeans first stepped on American soil, the natives were puzzled at the idea of "owning land." Some of the languages lacked words to even describe personal ownership of anything.

The Insanity Of High Cost Education
The United States once held the distinction of having the best colleges and universities in the world. People came from all over to study here. That was once. It is no longer the case. This is now a nation that has been taken over by bankers and big money interests that have skillfully devalued the dollar, created an inflation that has grown faster than workers can earn money to live, and in the process, destroyed the great universities that once turned out great thinkers, educators and creative people capable of lighting the world stage. The bankers and big money interests have literally taken over the nation's colleges and universities and made a big business out of them.

Let’s Dismantle The Federal Reserve
Americans and perhaps some of the elected representatives in Washington seem to believe that we all must depend upon the Federal Reserve to stabilize the nation’s financial system and keep the wheels of commerce running smoothly. Writer David Quinn in an article for The Cutting Edge said most Americans erroneously believe the Federal Reserve is part of our government. It is, however, a privately held corporation owned by stockholders representing the largest banks in the land. The Federal Reserve holds its power because Americans have been led to believe that it should have it. Quinn wrote that “if the American public understood what their (Federal Reserve) policies have done to their lives, they would be rioting in the streets."

The Impact of Capitalism on the News
Now that the printed news has fallen into disrepute and people now depend on the Internet and televised broadcasting to get reports about day’s events, the horrors of intense advertising is slamming us between the eyes. We can’t watch the nightly news now without wading through back-to-back commercials where smiling men and women try to sell us a line of products we don’t need or want. We can’t read an Internet story without having the promotion for some product and even the sponsoring publication forcing us to first read or at least look at a bright flashing promotion on the screen.

If We Buy It Do We Really Own It?
With the U. S. Supreme Court making rules strongly favoring big corporate interests a lot of Americans should have been concerned about a case recently decided by that judicial panel . . . Citizens For Ownership Rights.That case, called Kirtsaeng V. John Wiley & Sons, involved Supap Kirtsaeng, a University of Southern California student who earned money for college by purchasing discounted textbooks abroad and selling them on line for less than the college bookstores were charging. Kirtsaeng was sued by the book publisher who claimed that copyright laws prohibited him from doing what he was doing. The lower courts ruled that because the books were manufactured abroad, he was in violation of the U.S. copyright law. The publisher, John Wiley & Sons, was awarded $600,000 in damages.

Another Labor Day – Has Anything Changed?
The Labor Day holiday has been celebrated for the last century. But other than a day off from work and marking the traditional end of the summer vacation season, when children trudge back to school, the holiday has lost its glimmer for most Americans. We have published this story before, and we are repeating it again this year. The Department of Labor Statistics reports more people working, but conditions in the workplace remain stagnant. Workers are being treated more like slaves than important components of the workplace.

The Fight to Keep the Rothschilds Out of the US Banking System
Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third President, understood the dangerous power of the European banking system. After elected to office he attempted to create a publicly-owned central bank designed to keep European monarchs and aristocrats out of the new nation’s affairs. But the Bank of England won the fight. In 1791 the Bank of the United States was founded with the Rothschilds as the primary owners.

Origins of the Rothschild Banking Empire
A lot of people know and talk about the Rothschild family and its control over the world banking system. The Internet is filled with political posters depicting the faces of generations of the family under such unflattering titles as “Banksters” and “Predatory Lenders.” So who are the Rothschilds, what is the family control over the world banking system and how did one family become so financially powerful? We take a look at the man who founded the House of Rothschild. His name is Mayer Amschel Rothschild.

Cobalt Miners
Cobalt Shortage Affecting Electric Car Industry
The formula behind the booming electric car industry has been the development of batteries that can hold a major electric charge so a vehicle can move for hours at various speeds and thus compete with gasoline powered vehicles. But there now is a major shortage of cobalt, a major component in making the batteries that make those cars, computers, mobile telephones and other electronic devices run. Everybody wants the stuff and until now nobody thought to expand mining operations to produce enough to keep up with the growing demand. Much of the world's supply of cobalt is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo where child labor is being exploited.

American Revolution; Battle Against Big Money
The July 4 celebration in the United States is always a day of parades, fireworks and public speeches about American pride. Every child knows that it marks the day we won our independence from Great Britain and our nation was born. That happened over two centuries ago. But has the nation fallen under the grip of big money interests once again? Is another revolution in the cards?

Why They Killed Jesus
The Bible story of the trial and murder of Jesus is strangely lame when you think about it. An interesting theory presented last year on the website Prison Planet probably makes about as much sense as any we have heard. The article quotes the Rev. Howard Bess, a retired Baptist minister and frequent columnist for various Internet publications, as pointing out that the entire movement to kill Jesus stemmed from his assault on the money changers operating in the temple. Bess notes that for both the Roman power figures and the Jewish merchants, "It was the temple incident that took Jesus from being an irritating, but harmless country rebel from the rural north to a nuisance in a city that controlled the great tradition."

Meet the Looming Economic Standard: Cryptocurrency
Back in 2009 when the nation was still reeling under the latest economic collapse of the banking system and the burst housing “bubble;” when people were losing their homes and their jobs, a couple of computer nerds were busy inventing a new system of paying for things without using banks or dollars. Thus emerged the strange new name: bitcoin.

The American Assault on Education
The student loan debt in the U.S. has risen to $1.5 trillion and defaults among debtors are now estimated at over 40 percent. College graduates accepted student loans, sometimes reaching tens of thousands of dollars, just to get degrees for possible jobs that often are not available. Thus many college grads are barely eking a living, unable to pay off that student loan, while the interest on college debt keeps growing. A bill that moved through the House and Senate a few years ago made it impossible for student loan debt to be escaped through bankruptcy court. Thus the debt continues to grow, hanging over the heads of the graduates sometimes for the rest of their lives. There is little incentive for children of poor or middle class families to seek advanced education. It is a privilege left only for the rich.

Vast Shale Oil Deposits Found in Texas
It is as if the gods have decided to allow humans to choose between total annihilation of our species or use our great minds to find ways to save ourselves before we are destroyed by our own folly. Just when the best scientific minds and world leaders have joined forces to seek ways to cut carbon and methane gasses that are spewing from our smokestacks, tailpipes and fracking of the soil, there has been a discovery of a vast shale field in West Texas that appears to be the largest source of shale oil and natural gas ever found in North America. With Donald Trump and the right wing Republicans sitting in control of the nation's Environmental Protection Agency and clean earth laws for the next four years, it seems clear which path we will be taking.

The Great Money Lie
There is an old story mixed in American urban mythology that claims people can't enjoy money that they don't earn with their own hard labor. That old saw has been flying for years and the masses . . . those that work as slaves for the rich . . . seem to have bought it hook, line and sinker. We have a few thoughts about the good things and bad things about having our hands on money.

Paying For Room And Board In Jail
We have noticed a trend in recent years for states and counties to charge jail and prison inmates for their beds and meals while being held against their will. It is dubbed "Pay to Stay." They appear to be assessed even if innocent of wrongdoing. That is because even the innocent are usually convinced that accepting a plea bargain is the best and quickest way out of their “situation.”

Abundant Energy But We Can't Have It
It seems as if we have seen reports like this before. Brazilian inventors Nilson Barbosa and Cleriston Leal claimed to have invented something they call an Earth Electron Captor Generator that they say utilizes electrons from the Earth to generate an unlimited supply of electricity from a very low input. Not only this, but the team claims one of their devices, which fits into a container no larger than a shoe box, can produce enough free energy to power up to two houses. Sound too good to be true? Do we suspect a hoax here or have these guys stumbled onto something that other world inventors, including the late Nicola Tesla, Vernon Trigger and others have claimed for years?

U.S. Prisoners Rebelling Against “Slave Labor”
In spite of harsh confinement and restrictions on contact with the outside world, prisoners in several Alabama prisons formed an activist group known as Free Alabama Movement which launched what started as a 10-day strike on September 9. The striking prisoners complain that they have been cleverly caught up in a slave labor system that is a violation of the Thirteenth Amendment. The word spread quickly throughout the nation’s prisons and the action has grown. Prisoners in at least 40 different prisons in 24 states were participating in the strike at last count.

The Greed of Capitalism Falling in on Itself
When economic times start to pinch, as is currently happening, even people with some spare cash get scared and start tucking the money away under mattresses, into jewelry stored in safe deposit boxes and into things like gold and freeze dried food that they think will maintain value even if world markets go into a slide. Self preservation prevails over a need for shiny new stuff. The corporate media is not talking much about it, but there are signs everywhere that economists are worried.

Is Big Business Forcing Japan Into a Larger Nuclear Nightmare?
After five years of struggling to fix the radioactive disaster still occurring at Tokyo Electric Power Company’s (TEPCO) Fukushima nuclear plant, the company has announced plans to restart the failed plant and bring an end to Japan’s overall plan to abandon nuclear power by 2030. The announcement came upon the heels of a sudden decision by Hirohiko Izumida to withdraw his bid for re-election as governor of Niigata Profecture in the October 16 gubernatorial election. The Izumida decision appears highly suspicious. It is Izumida who has been blocking further operation of nuclear plants under his jurisdiction.

Panama Canal Expansion Quandary
For the past seven years contractors have been busy completing a $6.9 billion expansion of the Panama Canal. The massive project involved dredging, land-blasting, deepening and improving the existing locks and construction a second deeper canal with 16 larger locks and 100-foot-tall sluice gates to accommodate the new container carriers now hauling freight on the high seas. The new locks opened in June, but there are some unexpected problems.

Russia, Hungary and Iceland Kick Out the Banksters
It has only been in recent years that government leaders appear to have successfully separated their nations from the grip of the Rothschild banking syndicate. While Iceland's bold moves to fight a financial crisis by arresting a number of alleged "crooked" bankers and excusing personal debts made big headlines in about 2006, few noticed that Russia's Vladimir Putin was doing something very similar.

The Clinton Plan To Reduce Prison Population
According to a World Prison Brief study released this year, there are over 11 million people confined in prisons throughout the world, with 2.24 million of them locked behind bars in the United States alone. The U.S. population count as of 2014 was 319 million which means that 4.4 percent of the total world population estimated at just over 7 billion of the world’s jailed people are locked up in the United States. That amounts to 698 people per 100,000. The World Prison Population List, based upon statistics for the International Center for Prison Studies, shows that the U.S. currently has more people in prison per capita than almost every nation in the world.

Edward R. Murrow
Why The American Media Has Failed
Thomas Jefferson said: “Were it left to me whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter.” It is clear, however, that Jefferson possessed an understanding, even in his day, of just how complex the field of newspaper publishing can be and how pressures experienced by people in elected office can influence printed words in published newspapers. Every journalist that has ever worked a political beat understands clearly how the “system” works and has struggled with the problem of political corruption that often reaches the publisher’s office. No matter how honest and dedicated the reporter may try to be, stories that should be told frequently get altered or they never appear in print at all. Consequently the media plays what can be a somewhat convoluted role in delivering stories of concern to public interest.

America’s Major Industry Has Evolved Into War
The days when the United States was the world’s top producer of things like automobiles, brilliant engineers, architects, inventors and scientists, schools of education and the production of farm products appears to be over. Those things have all moved overseas to other nations. America’s big business today is war. The nation's industries not only supply the arms and tools for other world nations, it commits warfare. There are U.S. military bases in every corner of the globe.

Aspartame Declared Safe? Don't Believe It
Two recent studies in the news, one by a United States agency and another by the European Food Safety Authority, find the diet sweetener aspartame a safe product because it does not cause cancer. This is all well and good, except the concern about aspartame, as far as we know, has never considered it as a possible carcinogen. But it is a poison and it has been proven to destroy brain cells. Apparently the two new studies did not bother to examine that issue. Had they done so, and made the findings public, the product would have been yanked from the food chain.

Apparently the two new studies did not bother to examine that issue. Had they done so, and made the findings public, the product would have been yanked from the food chain.
Exposing the Secret China Investment Treaty
It seems that big international corporations are about to cash in on their investments in getting government leaders elected to office. Not only are U.S. legislators about to consider the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), but something else known as the China Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) is also in the works. According to the national action group CREDO, this new China BIT “is the latest in a series of corporate-sponsored, closed-door-negotiation trade deals that threaten to essentially give veto power over our own domestic laws and protections to foreign corporations, while exporting American jobs overseas.”

Food Stamp Limit Law Needs To Go
With nearly 30 million U.S. citizens out of work and the numbers of unemployed now reaching levels equal to the Great Depression, it is a shock to realize that a welfare reform law signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 is blocking many long-term unemployed folks from eligibility for food stamps.

Statistics Prove We Are In A Depression
The media doesn’t like to use the word “depression” because it connotes a dark time in world history when people were not only out of work but homeless, standing in long soup lines and struggling just to stay alive. In case you haven’t noticed, this is exactly what is happening throughout large sectors of the United States. We suspect this phenomenon is occurring throughout Europe and in other parts of the industrialized world.

The Jesuit Monetary Control of America
Most people in the United States are unaware of the way the Jesuits control their lives through a complex international banking system. The way it works is this: There is a rule of banking called the International Maritime Admiralty Law. This is in reality a Vatican Canon Law. All central banks are controlled by the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SOAM), a secret Jesuit order. From the United States the Federal Reserve pays the Bank of England. The Bank of England bows to the Swiss Bank of International Settlements, which is the SOAM monetary system that controls all of the wealth. Clear as mud is it not? It is cleverly designed that way so that very few people understand the system, or even want to.

The Looming Mosul Dam Disaster
When completed some 30 years ago the Mosul Dam on the Tigris River in northern Iraq was an engineering marvel. It towers 370 feet and is two miles wide. It holds back a reservoir of about three trillion gallons of water. Its three electric generating plants supply 100 percent of the power to over a million people living in and around the City of Mosul just 31 miles downstream. The engineers who designed and built the dam apparently failed to study the bedrock on which it stands, however. Either that or they didn't bother getting a geological report before proceeding with the project. Blame that on either incompetence or the politics of the day but it happened. And today the dam is in serious danger of failing. Over two million people live in the path of the potential flooding.

The Clinton Body Count
It is no secret that a lot of suspicious deaths of high ranking government officials, lawyers, journalists, guards, pilots and others occurred during the years Bill Clinton sat in public office in Arkansas and later in Washington. Conspiracy theorists have been actively attempting to link the Clinton regime to the unusual number of bodies left lying in the wake of the Clinton presidency, but guilt . . . if there is any to be had . . . has never been proven.

Elbakyan
Free Or Paid Access To Information?
I have been frustrated by the growing difficulty we face in researching information on various topics, especially in the areas of medicine and science. It seems that someone has a hand out demanding money at every turn. With this in mind, imagine my delight in learning about Russian Neuroscientist Alexandra Elbakyan who hacked the Elsevier publishing house website and downloaded 48 million research journal articles – almost every peer-reviewed paper ever published – which she now offers free on her website called Sci-Hub.

Exploring The Bush Dynasty
Most Americans know that two presidents named George Bush have served double terms in the White House. They also know that another son of George H. W. Bush named Jeb, a former Governor of Florida, made an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for yet another family run for that same high office. Thus we have an understanding of a family dynasty that has been controlling the shape of the United States for about half of a century. This dynasty, however, goes much deeper than what we observe on the surface. The Bush men are descendants of two other generations of Bush men who are rooted in powerful banking cartels, the Catholic Vatican, the control and sales of war weapons and the financial backing of nations driven to warfare since the beginning of the Twentieth Century.

Our Military Industrial Complex
Before he left office, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, left Americans with a warning that the military industrial complex constructed for the war had a “potential for a disastrous rise of misplaced power. While we once declared ourselves to be a police force for world peace, the United States has since established and maintained a massive global military presence that rivals anything ever dreamed of by Great Britain, Napoleon or the old Roman Empire. We flex our military muscle in every corner of the world. The Bush invasion of Iraq was clearly not an effort to bring peace to that part of the world and the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Korea will undoubtedly look more like empire building to future historians.

The Looming Trans-Pacific Partnership
It was probably inevitable that our ever-shrinking world would drift into the global partnership long described by the prophets of old as a "one world government." This emerging global enterprise is not like anything we ever imagined, however. That’s because it is being designed by the people now in financial and political power who are primarily interested in creating a corporate plan to seize even more of the planet’s resources, latch onto the world’s wealth and further enslave the masses.

The Black Pope And Jesuit Rule
Contemporary writings by William Garner and Sean Maclaren point to secret world government rule by the Jesuits, under a Black Pope, as a controlling force that has been operating for hundreds of years. Garner’s book, Who Really Owns Your Gold, and Maclaren’s sequel, The Black Pope and the Jesuit Militia Distort the History of the United States of America, describe what they believe has been a Jesuit controlled shadow government that has skillfully controlled kingdoms, dictatorships, democracies and religions throughout the European world and the Americas for centuries.

Poverty And The Return of Debtor's Prison
The growing insanity among Americans appears to be throwing us all back into the dark ages. Who would have thought people might be going to jail because they cannot afford to pay their bills? The United States abolished debtors’ prisons nearly a century ago, but more than a third of the states allow the police to jail people who don’t pay bills for health care, credit card and automobile loans. The entrapment is established through the back door . . . because people do not understand the law and the workings of the legal system.

Is There A Shadow Government?
Those of us who have been around awhile remember some bad times when the world was at war with itself. We also remember moments when world leaders spoke with brilliant clarity, inspiring followers to share in national and sometimes international pride for jobs well-done. We wept when these great figures of potential leadership fell at the sound of an assassin’s bullet, or were seized by militant forces and silenced behind prison walls. There was always a sense that something was amiss when great leaders like John F. Kennedy, the Rev. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela fell. It was as if secret powers behind the veil were pulling strings to shape world events and we as average citizens of the world could do nothing to stop them.

The Bilderberg Conspiracy Theory
The Bilderberg Group, which has been in existence since 1954, is an organization comprised of up to 150 political, industrial, university, media and financial leaders representing nations in Europe and North America. Because its annual meetings are held behind closed doors, without media coverage, the Bilderberg Group has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Some believe it is, in effect, an organization of people who secretly control world events. But does it identify as a "shadow government?"

Growing Evidence: Martians Live Among Us
Melchizedek wrote: “the other race that stepped in at that time caused big problems. These beings came from the nearby planet of Mars. It has become evident because of the situation that has developed in the world that this same race is still causing major problems. The secret government and the trillionaires of the world are of Mars extraction or have mostly Martian genes and little or no emotional/feeling body.” He said the Martians arrived while humans were living in a perfect environment such as described as Eden in the Book of Genesis. This was on the ancient continent of Atlantis. They have been controlling the affairs of humanity ever since.

Controllers Of The World’s Wealth
There has been a lot of talk among columnists and talking television heads about the sad state of the world’s financial system, the collapse of the real estate market, the failure of banks to lend money needed to get the wheels of commerce turning, and the strange decisions by big corporate boards to award their chief executive officers with multi-million dollar bonuses at a time when an estimated quarter of the nation’s citizens are out of work. We also notice the annual Forbes’s Magazine list of the world’s wealthiest billionaires and glare with amazement that so much money rests in the hands of so few people.

Power of The Federal Reserve
Americans and perhaps some of the elected representatives in Washington seem to believe that we all must depend upon the Federal Reserve to stabilize the nation’s financial system and keep the wheels of commerce running smoothly. Indeed, we once considered Alan Greenspan, long-time chairman of the Federal Reserve, as one of the most powerful and influential figures in the world of finance. Later the bearded face of Ben Bernanke filled that void and wielded as much power as Greenspan did. Today a woman, Janet Yellen, a noted economist, chairs the position. Writer David Quinn in an article for The Cutting Edge said most Americans erroneously believe the Federal Reserve is part of our government. It is, however, a privately held corporation owned by stockholders representing the largest banks in the land. The Federal Reserve holds its power because Americans have been led to believe that it should have it.

What Power Do The Zionists Have Over The World?
The Jerusalem Post recently quoted a senior Rabbi, Ovadia Yosefs, as saying that all gentiles are put on Earth to be slaves of the Jews. Also the Talmud, a sacred book among Rabbinic Judaists, considered second only to the Torah, states that "Golem (artificial humans) were born to serve us. They have no place in the world, only to serve the people of Israel." While we find it difficult to believe that all Jews of the world believe the above statements, we suspect that it may be the foundation of the Zionist heart. And this may explain why the very existence of Israel as a nation in the heart of Palestine has been a thorn in the side of nearly all of the nations of the world since it came into existence in the late 1940's.

The Great American Insurance Scam
I am sure by now a lot of people in the United States are getting really sick and tired of all the propaganda, promotional mail, e-mails and telephone calls concerning our national health insurance. The paperwork on my desk, just from the mail I received from health insurance firms, is overwhelming. Dealing with that mess is worse than doing income tax. Things are very confusing now for everybody. Nobody knows exactly what to do. All we know is that just making a doctor visit is going to cost us some money. This medical insurance scam is just the latest rip-off slamming the public. I have not forgotten the great auto scam of the 1970s. I was a young Michigan driver in those days and I remember that auto insurance on my car was relatively cheap. I didn’t earn a lot of money in those days but had no problem paying for car insurance. And we had the option of not buying car insurance at all. Then they created the no-fault insurance laws.

Living On The Edge; America’s Cockeyed Monetary Oil Standard
You can thank Henry Kissinger, the late President Richard M. Nixon and the economic advisors for the Nixon Administration for resetting America’s monetary standard and leading us into almost constant warfare in the Middle East. They also awarded us a growing financial crisis that may mean the downfall of the United States as we once knew it. Generally, the value of the American dollar is now based on the amount of oil the United States controls or has in reserve. It no longer has anything to do with the gold held in reserve at Fort Knox or under the Federal Reserve building in New York.

The Corporate Brainwashing Of The People
"Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country." --Edward Bernays, assistant to William Paley, founder of CBS
Never in our history can we remember this level of reckless effort at mass manipulation of the people. We are seeing it in the constant bombardment of political ads that wildly attack political opponents. The Supreme Court’s controversial Citizen’s United ruling opened the door to multi-billion dollar shadowy ad campaigns against candidates that refuse to get in lock step with big business interests. Most of these spot ads are laced with half-truths, twisted information and bald-faced lies. Do the people believe all of this propaganda? It must be working because the barrage of these promotional ads has not stopped.

Economist Predicts Looming End Of U.S. Empire
Economics Professor Nouriel Roubini, of New York University, accurately predicted the 2008 economic crisis that swept the United States two years before it happened. Since then Roubini has been dubbed “Dr. Doom” and he is now a major voice in economic circles. He was the seer who saw it coming when no one else did. So what does Roubini see for the future? He believes the United States will eventually emerge from the current crisis “a different nation with a different place in the world. This might be the beginning of the end of the American empire,” he said.

The Great American Oligarchy
When I was in grade school I remember learning American history the way it is depicted in textbooks published in the United States. Even while I was studying world history in college, I failed to grasp the significance of the U. S. capitalistic system and why it imposed so much hatred against our nation in the world around us. It was not until I got deeply involved in reporting government as a journalist that I began to understand. Our nation was promoted as a great republic, patterned after a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by men over two centuries years ago who wanted desperately to establish a way of governing people that guaranteed equality and fairness to everybody. But we secretly slid away from that framework to become an oligarchy; perhaps the most powerful and most deadly of its kind to ever exist.

Are We Pawns In a Matrix After All?
A strange story found in Nexus Magazine and on Richard Hoagland's Enterprise Mission website contains a lengthy interview with American space weapons expert Dr. Carol Rosin who once worked with Werner Von Braun during the last years of his life. Rosin, who served as corporate manager of Fairchild Industries and founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space, reportedly said in this interview that Von Braun told her of a long-range plan to justify putting weapons in space by staging various events, including a terrorist attack on the United States, the Gulf War, and a threat by both asteroids and extraterrestrials.

Whistleblower Data Could Have Prevented BP Gulf Disaster
A story by Greg Palast, one of the best investigative journalists still in the field, recently posted a report in the web publication Truthdig that everybody needs to read. The story puts a lot of the blame for the 2010 British Petroleum blowout in the Gulf of Mexico on U.S. Government officials who prosecuted whistleblower Chelsea (Bradley) Manning for releasing military documents to Wikileaks instead of reading them. The Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11 workers, sank the oil rig and caused a sea-floor oil gusher that flowed wide open for 87 days, was determined to have been caused by a faulty “quick-dry” cement used to cap the well once it began flowing. Many high government officials knew this before it happened but chose to keep the information secret. This is what Manning exposed.

Tesla’s Mystery 1930 Automobile
There is a story that the genius inventor Nicola Tesla once tested a mystery motor in a 1930 vintage Pierce Arrow automobile that ran without any sign of energy source other than an antenna and two strange metal bars that projected out of an “energy receiver” mounted under the dashboard. The car was kept on a farm about 20 miles from Buffalo, New York, and not far from Niagara Falls. It may still be there, although the engine that Tesla used has been removed. Tesla always maintained that electric power plants and wires and gasoline engines were not necessary. He said there was plenty of energy available that was free for the taking. But big business interests never allowed Tesla to introduce what he knew to the world. There was no money to be made from “free” energy.
Alarming Moves Designed To Change Our World
As if we are living on a giant chessboard, the pieces have been silently moved into place without many of us realizing that the queen is about to fall. The shadow rulers of the world appear about to make their final move. Once it happens, and it will probably occur unexpectedly, the world as we have known it will be changed forever.

Monsanto A Major Earth Criminal
The Monsanto Company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, bills itself as an agricultural business that helps farmers “reduce the impact” of their operations on the environment. We challenge that statement. The record suggests that much of which Monsanto does now, or has done in the past, has had a destructive impact on the environment, on our world, and may have destroyed any chance we have for a future.

The Titanic Disaster’s Financial Impact On America
The sinking of the White Star Line’s new liner Titanic and the loss of an estimated 1,500 lives after striking an iceberg on its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912 has remained one of the world’s most memorable disasters. While there have been other ship disasters perhaps just as horrifying that claimed even more lives, the Titanic story is the one that remains etched most deeply in the historical record. And there are several strange synchronicities that we suspect account for this.

Is Opium Behind The Long Afghan War?
America’s adventures in the Middle East began with an attack on Afghanistan in 2001, in apparent retaliation after the 9-11 attack. The nation was led to believe that Osama bin Laden and his Sunni militant Islamist organization known as al-Qaeda plotted the attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. But was it all a set-up to get American and UK forces in the region for another reason?

You can thank Henry Kissinger, the late President Richard M. Nixon and the economic advisors for the Nixon Administration for resetting America’s monetary standard and leading us into almost constant warfare in the Middle East. They also awarded us a growing financial crisis that may mean the downfall of the United States as we once knew it.

Imagine A World Without Slavery
Slavery has been a way of life on Earth for as long as humans have recorded history. It has appeared in many forms . . . from the concept of one man owning another and forcing the slave to do his will, to serfdom under the rule of kings and assembly line workers laboring for whatever the employer chooses to pay. Existence under slavery has always meant a life of hard labor and drudgery. Workers are owned by the master in one way or another. Could there be an alternative?

Slave System Enhanced By World Trade Deal
There was a time during the early period of the industrial revolution when most operating factories were sweat shops where people of all ages, even children, slaved for 12-hour days for low wages in extreme heat and unhealthy environments. It took a century or more of worker rebellion, sit-down strikes, violent clashes with police and other events before workers in the United States won the right to collectively bargain for improved working conditions, better wages, paid vacations, paid health insurance and in doing so, create what has become known as the American middle class. This is now being eroded in the world trade agreements that replaces American union labor with cheap sweat shop labor in other countries. Click For Story

The Corporate Plan: Keep Them Scared
If you ever wonder why the stock market makes the U.S. economy look so healthy while so many Americans are struggling just to make ends meet, there is no push to raise the minimum wage and many skilled workers are still listed among the unemployed, consider this: the corporate giants like it this way.

The Bilderberg Conspiracy Theory
The Bilderberg Group, which has been in existence since 1954, is an organization comprised of up to 150 political, industrial, university, media and financial leaders representing nations in Europe and North America. Because its annual meetings are held behind closed doors, without media coverage, the Bilderberg Group has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Some believe it is, in effect, an organization of people who really control world events. Click For Story

The Destruction of Journalism In America
It has been no secret that the popularity of the Internet preceded by television news via cable networks has taken its toll on the newspaper and news magazine industry. That the largest examples of print journalism . . . the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Gannett Corporation papers and others have fallen under corporate ownership has helped put the coffin nail on the world of real journalism in America. The move to cut off information to the public is not letting up. Click For Story

Reduce The Deficit – Start With The Military
Before he left office, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a five-star general who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, left Americans with a warning that the military industrial complex constructed for this war had a “potential for a disastrous rise of misplaced power.” He knew what he was talking about.

Stop The Big Business Of Running America’s Prisons
The last lines in the National Anthem proclaims the United States to be “the land of the free . . .” Folks that stand up at sports and other public events and proudly sing these words may be shocked to know that the statement is not true. There are more Americans currently under incarceration per capita in the U. S. than in any other nation in the world. Our criminal justice system has become a big business enterprise and it is out of control. Click For Story

Dismantle The Department Of Homeland Security
After the attacks of 9-11, President George W. Bush declared a War on Terror, launched two wars in the Middle East, and created the complex and costly bureaucracy called the Department of Homeland Security. That department, which involves a cabinet position, absorbed a long list of new and existing government agencies. It now functions with 216,000 employees and sucks up an annual budget of $52 billion. It is such a complex agency it consistantly fails to function and reports of graft and wasteful spending are common. Click For Story

Is the U.S. Food Industry Purposefully Poisoning Us?
Since its release in 1997, Dr. Russell L. Blaylock's book "Excitotoxins, the Taste That Kills," has inspired further research in which a variety of other papers by notable experts strongly support his claims that a "food enhancer" called monosodium glutamate (MSG) and an artificial sweetener called aspartame (NutraSweet) are linked to a wide variety of human brain disorders and may even be killing us.

The Insanity Of High Cost Education
The United States once held the distinction of having the best colleges and universities in the world. People came from all over to study here. That was once. It is no longer the case. This is clearly one of the signs that the United States is falling behind in its standing in the world. It is a nation that has been taken over by bankers and big money interests who have skillfully devalued the dollar, created an inflation that has grown faster than workers can earn money to live, and in the process, destroyed the great universities that once turned out great thinkers, educators and creative people capable of lighting the world stage.

Tired Of The Constant Ad Barrage?
In my daily surfing of the Internet I find very few, if any sites that are free of some kind of interruption. Some of my once favored sites, that I visited daily to get updated news and commentary, have been all but ruined by the bombardment of pop-up ads that literally take over the stories I am attempting to read. I get so frustrated I have stopped going to these sites. I gave up watching television programming for the same reason. After the Supremes ruled on Citizens United, the political propaganda became so annoying I decided it wasn't worth paying for the cable service. More . . .

Is Debtor’s Prison Making A Comeback?
When I was a child I recall a large empty concrete building on the outskirts of the county seat that I was told was the old “poorhouse” where people were forced to stay and work off debts. They said residents of the poorhouse kept a garden on the grounds and raised their own food. Are Americans facing this fate once again? Click For Story

The Looming Trans-Pacific Partnership
It was probably inevitable that our ever-shrinking world would drift into the global partnership long described by the prophets of old as a "one world government." This emerging global enterprise is not like anything we ever imagined, however. That’s because it is being designed by the people now in financial and political power who are primarily interested in creating a corporate plan to seize even more of the planet’s resources, latch onto the world’s wealth and further enslave the masses.

The Poison In American-Made Chewing Gum
We don’t understand their reasoning because manufactured sweetener does not appear to be less costly than sugar. Perhaps the American chewing gum manufacturers are involved in a mass conspiracy to destroy the minds of our children and all adults who like to chomp on their product. That or they have been caught up in a mass marketing scheme for pure greedy profit. Whatever the reason, most chewing gum in America is laced with Aspartame, an artificial sweetener that is known as an excitotoxin. They call it that because the chemical in it is so toxic it excites brain cells to the point of killing them. If you are a gum chewer you need to read this story. Click Here

Big Oil Is Fighting Green Energy
As the world’s oil supply begins to run dry and the research revs up to find alternative and less costly energy sources, there seems to be an effort by the powerful coal, oil and gas industry to hang onto its place as a world supplier. We all know it is a losing battle in the long run, but strangely the Koch brothers, major investors in the utility industry, OPEC and the big oil companies are working hard to stop the natural movement into solar panels, wind generators and other sources of power.

Generic Drugs Protected From Litigation
Most Americans are now covered by medical insurance that makes generic drugs the best if not the only choice when doctors prescribe medicine. But thanks to a recent ruling by the maverick "Gang of 5" on the Supreme Court, we swallow those pills at our own risk. By the usual 5-4 vote, the high court ruled that drug companies that manufacture generic drugs are now exempt from litigation for fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death. Only brand name drugs are subject to possible legal action if things go wrong. Click For Story

The World Financial Condition Is a House of Cards
It is no secret that stock exchanges around the world are reflecting a very unstable financial climate. The reasons for this appear to be varied. Money analysts are busy these days, pontificating on our television screens about the causes of the unexpected market fluctuations and trying to assure the public that all is well. Yet there is a general feeling among the people that all is not well. It is not hard to understand why; with more and more good paying jobs disappearing, the number of homeless Americans on the increase, yet the price of food, clothing and housing rising through the roof. The instability has been spreading into the streets. From occupy movements to violent street rioting like those occurring in Ferguson, Missouri to Hong Kong, China, there is growing unrest all over the world.Click For More
