Whose Independence Are We Celebrating: Powerful Thoughts From A Decorated General On Where We’re Actually Heading In The Land Of The ‘Free’
What Is Independence: A Decorated General Offers A Must-Read Alternative Perspective On What It Means To Be ‘Free’ As yet another Fourth of July slides down the collective memory hole, digested like so much hot dogs and beer, with little left behind except dirty scraps of red white and blue decorations blowing in the gutters, it is perhaps more appropriate than ever to reflect on what exactly is this “independence” we celebrate each year.… Read the rest

Five Years After Fukushima, Lessons Still Not Learned: Two US Nuke Facilities On The Brink Of Disaster
Two US Nuke Facilities In Heavily Populated Areas Leaking–Worse Than Fukushima, Some Say The old saying goes: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But what about three times? Four? A dozen? Where does the shame lie then?

Is The Age Of Clean, Plentiful Water Over? The US Could Be On The Verge Of A Water Crisis That Would Dwarf Flint
Water Shortages, Water Contaminants: The US May Be On The Threshold Of A Frighteningly Dry Era Infrastructure. It is a word that gets tossed around a lot in election years. But it is an inherently boring word, and not a lot of people really even understand what it means. Infrastructure certainly isn’t a “sexy” vote-getter in an election year, as politicos say.… Read the rest

Taskforce on Flint water crisis concludes it was an “environmental injustice”
Panel: race a factor in Flint “environmental injustice” In a move that surprised exactly no one, a taskforce has concluded that the poisoning of the citizens of Flint, Michigan constituted what they termed an “environmental injustice.” The panel concluded in its 116-page report that the residents of Flint did not “…enjoy the same degree of protection… provided to other communities.” The report also took pains to point out that the majority of residents of Flint are African-American, painting in stark terms that the true and most severe costs of deteriorating environmental standards are always borne first by the poor and minority communities.… Read the rest

Cloud-seeding in California has conspiracy theorists up in arms–here’s why
Some people are questioning the motives of government bringing back an old cloud-seeding program in California–here’s what has them so nervous. The term “conspiracy theorist” has such an ugly ring. It is a cheap way to dismiss out of hand not only a person’s particular beliefs about a particular subject, but also to render anything else that they might say as somehow beneath contempt, certainly beneath response.… Read the rest

Not Satisfied Yet! Oncology Group Calls For Even More HPV Vaccinations
The Indoctrination Has Just Begun: Oncology Group Calls For More HPV Vaccination Push Vaxx Freedom Action Item, USA: http://tinyurl.com/VaccinationISViolation There’s nothing like having a captive market. When you control a commodity that everyone needs–or better yet, one that everyone is forced to buy–you are sitting in the catbird seat, as they say. That’s why monopolies were outlawed: cartels like Standard Oil and their partners controlled the entire market and could thus dictate prices and conditions to the world.… Read the rest

Bill that would outlaw labeling of GMO products to reach Senate floor this week
If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.” –Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994 In this day and age, we are so very fond of our apocalypse tales. From zombies to meteors to tidal waves to alien invasions–it’s almost as if we can’t wait for the end of the world to arrive.… Read the rest

SAFE food act passes out of Senate Committee, stark hypocrisy on display
Not a day goes by without some politician or another doing something utterly hypocritical. It is increasingly apparent that anyone who goes into politics isn’t actually a human, but rather a person-shaped alien who is lacking the gene marker for what we earthlings call “shame.” But with the passage of the SAFE Act–the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act–through the Senate Agriculture committee, Americans are one step closer to not being able to know what GMOs are in our food.… Read the rest
