Farmer Reveals: These 3 Claims on Chicken Labels are “Basically Meaningless”

Americans have become increasingly concerned about the meat industry since Congress decided to repeal Country-of-Origin labeling laws on beef and pork, denying the consumers the right to know where their meat is coming from. Non-organic meat producers are also allowed to feed their animals genetically modified feed, and aren’t required to label this practice afterward. As it turns it turns out, the chicken meat industry is just one of several that may have more than a few secrets to hide. The chicken meat industry is very secretive when it comes to their farms.

*Who* deserves better of mankind, and does more essential service to his country, than do the whole race of politicians?

"A Look to the Heavens"

“To some, the outline of the open cluster of stars M6 resembles a butterfly. M6, also known as NGC 6405, spans about 20 light-years and lies about 2,000 light years distant. M6 can best be seen in a dark sky with binoculars towards the constellation of Scorpius, coving about as much of the sky as the full moon. Like other open clusters, M6 is composed predominantly of young blue stars, although the brightest star is nearly orange. M6 is estimated to be about 100 million years old. Determining the distance to clusters like M6 helps astronomers calibrate the distance scale of the univ... read more

The 'climate change' scam

Legal Insurrection: ... Perhaps it is time to consider if the World Climate Declaration, which has been signed by 1,200 climate scientists and related professionals, may be something to seriously consider, promote, and act on. In the document, these scientists affirm that there is “no climate emergency.” The political fiction that humans cause most or all climate change and the claim that the science behind this notion is ‘settled’, has been dealt a savage blow by the publication of a ‘World Climate Declaration (WCD)’ signed by over 1,100 scientists and professionals.
