Free Leonard Peltier!
Leonard Peltier has been in prison for well over 35 years. President Bill Clinton could have pardoned him at the end of his second term in office--but chose to pardon his buddy, criminal Marc Rich, instead. You can read the US government's case against Leonard Peltier by clicking the link at the beginning of this post. What I'm going to do is *highlight in red* some of the *undisputed facts* in the case that, in any reputable court of law, would have caused any discerning Judge to *throw the case against this indigenous leader right out of court.* *CASE OF LEONARD PELTIER* [image: ... more »

I'd promised myself that I would limit my posts on Hillary to only one per week, lest I become as addicted to the effervescence as the mainstream press seems to be. With a full year and half to go before election day, I didn't want to suffer acute Clinton burnout on top of my chronic Clinton burnout. Even Hillary seems to be getting tired of herself.

The news is a thermometer pointing out the calibrated hot spots
In reality the news is just a time period stamp version of history and mostly in the long view it mean nothing and you wasted your time watching the first reality tv show Never forget the medium is the message and the news today is a dichotomy they start with being afraid and end with miracles is that not confusing?

April 22: The Big Picture
There was a time when the greatest dream of North American women was to be swept up by an arab riding on a galloping, white steed that would take them far into the desert to his tent. The arab was such a symbol of wildly romantic love that in the 1920s and later, a handsome and well-dressed young man in North America was called a "sheikh". Indeed, the most popular men's contraceptive into at least the 1960s carried the brand name Sheikh. In 1921, the big, Hollywood hit starring heartthrob Rudolph Valentino was "The Sheikh". And, in the same year, that gave rise to what may have bee... more »

Some alteration is expected because no one actually tells a story the same way twice unless it has been memorized as opposed to having been lived. Major alteration is an indication that the story is probably not being accurately reported by the witness and the fault lies at ... more »

[image: E/A-18G Growler]U.S Navy Secretary Ray Mabus says that he’d like Congress to authorize the purchase of more Growlers made by Boeing in St. Louis.

Congress Hates On the Navy’s Tiniest Warships
[image: Cyclone-class PC]The U.S. Navy’s 13 Cyclone-class patrol boats are 179 feet long, pack two 25-millimeter cannons plus machine guns, grenade launchers and two quadruple mounts for short-range Griffin anti-ship missiles. Displacing just 330 tons, the Cyclones are arguably the most heavily-armed American warships relative to their size. But for all that firepower, the U.S. Congress refuses to include the patrol boats in the official count of deployable, battle-force vessels. Congress’ decision to delist the Cyclones— which the legislative body codified in the 2015 military fun... more »
Libyan people smuggler derides EU plan for military action
[image: Migrants trying to reach Greece]One of the leading smugglers at the main departure point for Mediterranean migrant crossings in Libya has scoffed at plans to launch a military campaign against people traffickers, and recommended that the EU provide more support for his marginalised ethnic minority instead. The smuggling kingpin, who organises about 60% of the boat trips from Zuwara, according to claims by his associates, questioned how European navies would be able to break the sprawling spider’s web of smuggling networks that span several countries in north Africa. The 33-... more »

Global Guided Missile Expansion Forcing U.S. Navy to Rethink Surface Fleet Size
.png&container=blogger&gadget=a&rewriteMime=image/*)
[image: USS Chafee (DDG-90)]Rapid growth in the capability and quality of guided missiles — mostly Chinese in origin — is causing the U.S. Navy to rethink the number of surface ships it needs to effectively fight a high-end war. Early estimates based ongoing war games could mean the current number of 88 large surface combatants — the Navy’s fleet of guided missile destroyers and cruisers — needs to grow to more than a hundred into the 2020s just to keep to today’s current level of risk, USNI News has learned. However, increasing a fleet of multi-billion dollar ships by almost 25 pe... more »

Interdimensional Intervention on Earth: A Synthetic System of Control
I am not convinced that any of this actually flows. It makes a story of pending conflict when that may be completely unnecessary. For example it is easy to argue in favor of a world war triggered by Islamic radicals and show all sorts of conforming threats. Yet i know that the oil revenue is about three to five years away from complete collapse. Really conflict would merely accelerate it.

Dr SEars on Baking Soda
Dr Sears now wades in on this debate and voices obvious doubts. However what does ring true here is that it either stops or seriously slows the progress of cancer. That was good enough for AIDs. I think it is more than good enough for cancer simply because cancer is generally susceptible to a robust immune system and this therapy give the victim time to beat the disease down. Certainly the reports i am seeing is of terminal cases been either apparently resolved or certainly halted. Even more important it does fit into a general action protocol that includes whole foods and oth... more »
Brain’ and Consciousness
We have arrived at the conjecture that the whole organism is operated directly by our spirit body which is a natural logic engine analogous to computer architecture although vastly more sophisticated but demonstrating deep internal structural repetition and redundancy. It consists of dark matter bound with photonic ribbons acting to store number. Obviously the brain is the primary hand maiden to our core consciousness, but there is plenty going on elsewhere in the body that would easily support cognition. and appear as described here in this item. More important is that local ... more »
Why Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff Is Failing
In the end, she was elected to be as good as da Silva. She has failed miserably and now is no longer communicating very well. Falling back on the ideology of her upbringing is certainly not going to help either except to hold her core. Obviously this bears watching as Brazil is now riding through acrough economic consolodation with many losers. Certainly getting reelected for another term appears unlikely without a successful change in course. It is becoming clear that all the BRIC countries are sliding into consolodation or even recession. This must last for some time un... more »

US Training Nazis, Western Media Providing Cover

So today I had planned to write about the origins of the war that ended peace – ‘'the "seminal catastrophe" of modern times and the calamity from which all other calamities sprang” -- the war that killed 16 millions and destroyed the health, wealth and material well-being of millions more – that ended empires four empires, bankrupted another, and sowed the seeds for a century of totalitarianism – that destroyed for all time “the pre-World War One world, the last afterglow of the most radiant cultural atmosphere in human history.”* But I’ve decided that I won’t.

GOP Generation Y Fund Probably Won't Be As Active This Cycle As It Was Last Cycle
In 2008, when Aaron Schock declared his leadership PAC-- the GOP Generation Y Fund-- was open for business, Schock was the youngest Member of Congress and he claimed the PAC was meant to help elect more young Republican Members. Last cycle Schock raised $782,233 and distributed 510,404 to Republicans to House seats. Electing "young" Republicans, however, doesn't seem to have been on his mind. Among recipients of his largesse were elderly conservatives like, to whom he handed out checks in $5 and $10 thousand increments: *•* John Mica (FL-72 years old) *•* Brian Babin (TX- 67 y... more »
