The behavioral trend, reflected in an annual survey conducted between 1973 and 2014, was fueled largely by people who had sex with both men and women. There has been little change in the number of people reporting exclusively homosexual behavior.

The survey found that only 1.7 percent of men and 0.9 percent of women said they had exclusively homosexual sex. "More and more young people today are sort of rejecting those very strict labels of gay, straight, or bisexual and saying, 'I'm fluid or queer'," Wells said.

As reported by Reader Supported News, 48 MEPs from 13 different European Union countries participated in the test to see if they had been exposed to the cancer-linked weedkiller – and now the results are in. According to the test results from the accredited Biocheck Laboratory in Germany, "all participants excreted glyphosate by urine." That's right – every single one.

Spearheaded by the Green Party in the European Parliament – who are hoping for a ban on the toxic herbicide across the EU – the experiment found that on average the MEPs each had 1.7 micrograms/liter of glyphosate in their urine – which is 17 times higher than that found in European drinking water (on average 0.1 microgram/liter).

This shows that glyphosate is entering our bodies not only from drinking water, but from the food chain – as everyone tested was way above the limit for residues of pesticides in drinking water, as Reader Supported News noted. The report states that: "All investigated EU-parliament members were glyphosate contaminated. This will show glyphosate is also in the food chain of members of the EU-parliament."

Meanwhile, the US government continues to allow glyphosate to be used in public spaces, for agriculture and even in your back yard.

Last year's landmark Supreme Court decision guaranteeing marriage equality in all 50 States was a historic victory for LGBT Americans, ensuring dignity for same-sex couples and greater equality across State lines.

LGBT individuals deserve to know their country stands beside them. That is why my Administration is striving to better understand the needs of LGBT adults and to provide affordable, welcoming, and supportive housing to aging LGBT Americans.

There remains much work to do to extend the promise of our country to every American, but because of the acts of courage of the millions who came out and spoke out to demand justice and of those who quietly toiled and pushed for progress, our Nation has made great strides in recognizing what these brave individuals long knew to be true in their hearts - that love is love and that no person should be judged by anything but the content of their character.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2016 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists, and to celebrate the great diversity of the American people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fortieth.

BARACK OBAMA

In the following interview with Infowars.com Special Forces commando Tim Kennedy weighs in, describing the current situation as a trench having been dug and filled with accelerants just waiting to be ignited. Kennedy is a continuity of government expert, which means he’s well versed in not only how the powder keg of civil unrest could potentially explode, but what The-Powers-That-Be will do once it does.

“For civil unrest to happen you have to have a bunch of little things that set up for the perfect situation. You have to have a reason. People are so emotionally involved in this Presidential election right now… and finally for the first time realizing there is something wrong with our country… the eyes are open… we know that something’s not right.

Even though we have a President saying ‘I’m trying to break down borders’ we’ve never had so much hate between different racial segments… what’s even more scary is that we know all of these things individually are setting up the perfect opportunity for serious civil unrest…

Now that we’re moving into summer… we’re moving into the Presidential election… we’re sending troops into Iraq… we’re looking at groups and segments of people who are supporting specific Presidential nominees… We have a perfect conducive environment for some serious problems… you think riots in Missouri were bad? Just wait until July… wait until August. The trench has been dug and it is full of accelerants… everything is right for things to go very wrong.”

Kennedy warns that once civil unrest happens on a nationwide scale, you’d better have taken steps to prepare, because just as we saw in Venezuela, Argentina and elsewhere during such tense periods, essential goods disappear from the shelves almost overnight.

In short, should widespread civil unrest, whether this summer or at any point in the future, spread across America and be followed by military and law enforcement intervention, you absolutely cannot depend on the government to be there to provide any meaningful assistance. As Tim Kennedy has highlighted, the trenches have been dug and the accelerant has been poured. All we’re waiting for now is the spark.

Soros, whose real name, by the way, is György Schwartz, laid the foundation for his fortune during WWII. His family lived in Hungary back then and collaborated with the National Socialists. When the Germans occupied Hungary, Soros ran currency trades on the black market — an activity that was punishable by death. He described this time as “the happiest time in my entire life”. His family was spared because during the subsequent Soviet occupation it also collaborated with the military intelligence service GRU (Main Intelligence Directorate).

This mixture of opportunism and greed has made George Soros into who and what he is today: a schemer who instigates revolutions and coups while calling himself a “philanthropist”. Due to his good relations with the media, he hardly risks acquiring a negative image, neither in the US nor in Europe nor in the major mainstream media. People in these media companies aren't interested in finding out who is behind these protest movements, as long as they follow the political objectives of the media moguls.

Whether it is the “Arab Spring” (which developed into a slaughter), the Maidan protests (including the subsequent coup and civil war), the “Syrian refugee crises” (with his assistance bringing people to Europe), or “Occupy Wall Street” (an attack on his rivals), “Open Borders” (how else would one stir up commotion?), the “Anti-Trump protests” (paid riots for negative press) and the “Ferguson unrest” together with the “Black Lives Matter” movement intended to instigate a race war in the US – these are all examples of how subversively Soros acts through his organizations and associates.

It is becoming more and more obvious how dangerous the likes of multi-billionaire Soros can be – they use their wealth to cause commotion and revolutions to their advantage. If only every government in the world were to throw out the many organizations supported by Soros and other multi-billionaires, we might have a little more peace on the planet.

But at the end of months of negotiations, there remained one small, yet crucial, catch: King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud demanded the country’s Treasury purchases stay “strictly secret,” according to a diplomatic cable obtained by Bloomberg from the National Archives database.

With a handful of Treasury and Federal Reserve officials, the secret was kept for more than four decades — until now. In response to a Freedom-of-Information-Act request submitted by Bloomberg News, the Treasury broke out Saudi Arabia’s holdings for the first time this month after “concluding that it was consistent with transparency and the law to disclose the data,” according to spokeswoman Whitney Smith. The $117 billion trove makes the kingdom one of America’s largest foreign creditors.

Exactly how much of America’s debt Saudi Arabia actually owns is something that matters more now than ever before. While oil’s collapse has deepened concern that Saudi Arabia will need to liquidate its Treasuries to raise cash, a more troubling worry has also emerged: the specter of the kingdom using its outsize position in the world’s most important debt market as a political weapon, much as it did with oil in the 1970s.

In April, Saudi Arabia warned it would start selling as much as $750 billion in Treasuries and other assets if Congress passes a bill allowing the kingdom to be held liable in US courts for the September 11 terrorist attacks, according to the New York Times. The threat comes amid a renewed push by presidential candidates and legislators from both the Democratic and Republican parties to declassify a 28-page section of a 2004 US government report that is believed to detail possible Saudi connections to the attacks. The bill, which passed the Senate on May 17, is now in the House of Representatives.

The letter did not clarify what HSBC meant by “offensive” or “nuisance”, and did not explain under what circumstances bank staff would be able to inspect the boxes. It asked clients to sign and return the letter within one month to confirm their acceptance of the updated conditions, so “we [HSBC] can continue providing you with the Safe Deposit Locker services”.

“This is a ridiculous and grossly invasive power which makes a nonsense of the whole purpose of a safety deposit box,” the Post quotes Barrister Neville Sarony, SC as saying. “Granting HSBC the unlimited right to snoop in your box and dispose of its contents without prior warning makes a total nonsense of the word ‘safe’.”

“HSBC has a clear commitment to defend the integrity of the financial system against activities such as money laundering,” a spokesman told the Post. “We want to reassure … these changes to the terms and conditions will not in any way reduce the security and privacy of our safe deposit locker service.” This appears to be an escalation in the direction of harassing those who prefer to keep their funds in the form of, say, cash or gold.

Last April, JPMoragnChase sent a letter to safety deposit customers announcing that cash would be prohibited from being stored in the bank's safety deposit boxes.

The Temple Movement aims to build a third Jewish temple on Haram al-Sharif as part of a vision to replace Israel’s ethnocratic parliamentary system with a monarchy based on halacha (Jewish law) throughout Eretz Yisrael (the biblical Land of Israel including Palestine and beyond). While Lieberman’s appointment signifies a success for Israel’s secular right wing, Glick’s entrance to the parliament is a major step forward in the Religious Zionist takeover of Israel.

More than two decades of the peace process have empowered Israel’s hardline elements, rendering the Labor Zionist camp irrelevant and struggling to maintain any appeal to the Israeli mainstream. As Israel’s old guard has become mostly obsolete, the settler movement has positioned itself as the future, taking over key positions in the government, the military, police and Shin Bet, and winning public support through the Temple Movement. “Religious Zionism is on its way to taking control of the State of Israel,” former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin warned in 2015.

And it goes without saying that Donald J Trump and Austria’s Norbert Hofer are not Adolf Hitler. Still, Germany’s slide into a popular embrace of authoritarianism in the 1930s offers a frame for understanding how liberal democracies can suddenly turn toward anti-liberalism.

Setting aside debate about whether the rise of Nazism was built into the German DNA, there were four trends that led the country to reject its post-World War I constitutional, parliamentary democracy, known as the Weimar Republic: economic depression, loss of trust in institutions, social humiliation and political blunder. To a certain degree, these trends can be found across the West today.

“We know all of your interests. Not only just your interests you are willing to declare publicly on Facebook – we know your dark secrets, we know everything,” said Huffman. When Van Zanten jokingly responded, “I’ll delete my accounts,” Huffman responded, “Try it, you’ll be back.”

“What???? What the **** just happened! Why do I feel like there is an evil side to Reddit after watching this dweeb try be scary? Why did he say that?” asked one. “What is with this huge obsession with tracking people anyway? It seems every company is doing it now. It’s actually quite creepy and reminds me of something you’d see in some kind of science fiction,” added another.

He cited Facebook’s success in “making people accept in line native ads” but added that Reddit’s “targeting will be different” because it knows even more than Facebook about its users. Similar outrage erupted when Google CEO Erich Schmidt told CNBC in an interview, “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”

Another eurosceptic Tory MP said voters were being “deceived” and “hoodwinked” about the true scale of the EU’s drive to create a single army.

The backlash came as it emerged plans to move towards the creation of a European army are being kept secret from British voters until the day after next month’s referendum. In an effort to avoid derailing the Prime Minister’s Remain campaign, the policy plans will not be sent to national governments until the day after Britons vote. Until then, only a small group of EU political and security committee ambassadors, who must leave their electronic devices outside a sealed room, can read the proposal.

However hand written notes can be taken. Extracts of the text in notes taken by dipomats, seen by The Times, emphasise that “security and defence is where a step change is most urgent”. The paper warns that “in turbulent times, we need a compass to navigate the waters of a faster-changing world”. Mr Fox told The Telegraph: “Those of us who have always warned about Europe’s defence ambitions have always been told not to worry, but step-by-step that ever closer union is becoming a reality. We cannot afford to be conned in this referendum as we were conned in 1975.”

A defense paper being produced by German strategists revives the concept of the establishment of a structured European army, with joint headquarters staffed by civil executives and military officials plus a council of defense ministers, enhanced co-ordination of production of arms and armaments, and shared military assets.

The white paper, according to the Financial Times, specifically accentuates that “Germany is willing to join early, decisively and substantially as a driving force in international debates... to take responsibility and assume leadership.”

The concerns were raised after sources revealed the German president of the European Parliament Martin Schulz is pushing for longtime aide and fellow German Markus Winkler to become deputy secretary general. This comes at a time when Klaus Welle is already the institution’s top civil servant, while the European People’s Party, which is the parliament’s biggest group, is run by Manfred Weber. He also wants to parachute several other German officials into the Parliament’s administration.

The rumoured influx of Germans to the Parliament’s most important positions has startled Eurocrats, including Philippe Lamberts, the Belgian president of the European Green party. He said: “It is now a general trend in the Parliament that to earn Schulz’s favour, you need to be German and a Socialist. It is an insult to diversity.”

Critics say Schultz is attempting to surround himself with allies, meaning even when he finishes his term as president he will be able to influence the parliament. One source said: “At least, even if he goes back to Germany, he could still rely on allies at the Parliament.” Another said: “This has never been seen before. Even at the Commission, this would make people speechless.”
