In twenty minutes, 500 came out of the one gutter I was watching. The rain stopped and the flooding abated. The rats on the ... more »
Are Vaccine Manufactures Concealing Deaths Caused by Vaccines by Manipulating Post-marketing Data?
National and international health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) routinely and emphatically claim that serious adverse events following vaccination are rare.

Jim Rickards, "Trade War Just Got Hotter"

Unfortunately for China, it is in a much worse position to wage a trade war than the U.S. China’s problem is that it will soon run out of U.S. imports to tariff. China has a... more »

Russian media on the shootdown over Syria
A Russian military spokesman called Israel's attack on Syria, and resulting shoot down of a Russian plane, "deliberate...provocative...hostile". I'd agree. Get a look in this video how one Russian media handles the story. The US-NATO war for regime change in Russia is full on. Will it worsen as the arrogant western corporate oligarchs demand full control of Russia and China? It's a uni-polar world they want. They are willing to kill to get it. They will kill all of us in a minute if they have to. Russia and China (and many more like Iran and Venezuela) refuse to be taken down... more »

"The Plague of Superfluous Intellectuals"
*"The Plague of Superfluous Intellectuals"* by Paul Rosenberg "Recently I was drawn into the consideration of intellectuals by reading Eric Hoffer’s "The Ordeal of Change." I thought parts were dated (it was written almost 60 years ago), but many of his insights interest me. And then, over the past few days, I realized what was happening with intellectuals in our time. What we have in the West is a plague of superfluous intellectuals: college graduates who’ve been trained to be the overseers and thought leaders of the world and who are finding no place for their skills. They are de... more »

JAMES O'KEEFE'S FIRST "DEEP STATE" SUBVERSIVE IS NEITHER DEEP NOR SUBVERSIVE
When I learned that James O'Keefe was about to release a new series of videos called "Deep State Unmasked," I wondered: Could he actually have found people who are openly subverting the Trump administration from within the government and are willing to talk about this to a stranger? That's what O'Keefe's title implies, but that's not what he delivers, at least in the first installment. His opening sequence may include clips of John Brennan and Loretta Lynch, but his first subject isn't leaking White House dirt or sabotaging executive branch policy. The featured bureaucrat is a low-... more »
"We Like To Think..."
"We like to think that we are rational beings; humane, conscientious, civilized, thoughtful. But when things fall apart, even just a little, it becomes clear we are not better than animals. We have opposable thumbs, we think, we walk erect, we speak, we dream, but deep down we are still routing around in the primordial ooze; biting, clawing, scratching out an existence in the cold, dark world like the rest of the tree-toads and sloths." - "Grey's Anatomy"
