USA - Thanks to Vermont’s intrepid group of anti-GMO educators and legislators, GMO labeling is a fact and will begin later this summer. Millions of awake Americans played a huge role by calling their senators to stop them from dismantling “The Dark Act.” Millions more who know nothing about the dangers of this technology purchased breakfast cereal loaded with GMOs for years. Some of these cereals said the word “natural,” of course. Five years ago, Cornucopia did a groundbreaking study on how many cereals were created by GE engineering.
USA - There isn’t a single group in the history of the world who has pandered more incessantly than liberals in 2016. It seems as though they have virtually zero shame as they hunt for support from every available resource. Of course, any logical person has the ability to see through these insincere attempts to gain votes, but that doesn’t stop the liberals from continuing to pander. As of late, it’s gotten even worse than ever before.
EUROPE - Of the all the places Islamist terrorists have chosen to ply their wicked trade in Europe these past few weeks, the sleepy French town of Saint-Etienne-du Rouvray is one of the more unlikely settings for committing acts of extreme violence. Unlike the high-profile, ISIL-inspired attacks France has suffered in Paris and Nice, yesterday’s ordeal in this small town in Normandy, situated four miles south of the great French cathedral city of Rouen, began with an attack on a group of worshippers attending morning Mass.
USA - Terror attacks and mass killings are happening so rapidly now that it is really difficult to keep up with them all. This latest attack in France during which radical Islamic terrorists slit the throat of a Catholic priest was particularly disturbing. According to thereligionofpeace.com, there have been 1274 Islamic terror attacks in 2016. These attacks have been spread across 50 different nations, and as a result of these attacks more than 11,000 people have been killed and more than 14,000 people have been injured. When are we going to finally wake up and understand how serious this threat really is?
FRANCE - Fury has erupted in France as the nation's current and former leaders call for a 'merciless' response to an attack that left an 84-year-old priest dead and a nun critically injured. Two knifemen burst into a Normandy church this morning before filming themselves butchering elderly priest, Jacques Hamel, and performing a 'sermon in Arabic' at the altar, according to a witness.
UK - London is next on the list of target cities for twisted jihadis along with the US capitol Washington DC, it has been claimed. Images threatening attacks in London and other major world capitals have been posted on jihadi messaging app Telegram, according to SITE Intelligence Group. One picture chillingly shows New York’s Statue of Liberty engulfed in flames but with the caption “Washington soon” - referring to the US capital 225 miles away. The threat comes as security at British churches is being ramped up amid a new terror alert after ISIS knifemen forced a French priest to kneel before slitting his throat on camera. The source of the threats against London and Washington and whether they are credible is unknown.
EUROPE - The European Union must immediately merge into a huge superstate or face fast approaching oblivion, a leading credit ratings agency has warned. Standard and Poor’s (S&P) said only the rapid creation of a United States of Europe, run by a federal government in Brussels, can prevent the bloc from total collapse. The only alternative, they say, is to roll back decades of political integration including the euro currency and return the project to its original status as a trading bloc. In a report out this week the respected finance experts branded the EU “unsustainable” after downgrading its credit rating in light of the Brexit vote. They said constant haggling between 28 bickering member states created “too many moving parts” at the heart of the project which were fuelling uncertainty for business.
USA - Trump is going to take care of America first, and he has started by saying he will pull the US out of the WTO if they try to block his proposal to tax companies who move jobs overseas. He said if they think they can build air conditioners, fire the people here in the US who make them, then move those jobs overseas, then try to sell those same conditioners back to the US… they are wrong… there will be a tax!
USA - I recently proposed that the liberty movement capitalize on Brexit with “Fed-exit”: a campaign to “secede” from the Federal Reserve. Fed-exit could be accomplished with a few simple policy changes. Passing Audit the Fed is a good first step toward Fed-exit.
PHILIPPINES - In his first state of the nation address before Congress, Duterte said he wanted a "permanent and lasting peace" before the end of his six-year term, which commenced on June 30. The ex-city mayor, who built a name for his tough, crime-busting style, also focused on his battle against illegal drugs, threatening drug dealers anew with death.
USA - Buying milk about as close to nature as it gets – directly from the cow – is still a punishable offense in many areas of the US, and residents of the Houston, Texas, suburb of Katy were reminded of this recently, after being paid a visit by police officers for the "crime" of buying and selling raw dairy products on private property. According to reports, county health inspectors in cahoots with a police entourage raided a raw milk exchange taking place in the parking lot of Holy Apostles Church, a drop-off point where area residents come to pick up raw milk they've legally purchased from nearby farms. Sheriff's deputies broke up the gathering, despite the fact that it in no way violates the law concerning raw milk sales in Texas. State interference with the sale and distribution of food is one reason why many people are turning to backyard gardening and farming.
INDIA - Think twice before killing the next cockroach you find in your apartment. A team of scientists at India’s Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine discovered that cockroach milk may be the greatest superfood of them all. The Pacific beetle cockroach (the only kind that gives birth to live young) feeds its babies by lactating protein-dense crystals, which pack fats, sugars, amino acids, and more than four times the nutrition of cow’s milk. “It’s time-released food,” project lead Subramanian Ramaswamy told The Times of India. “They can be a fantastic protein supplement.” But don’t swap out your smoothie’s almond milk just yet. Despite its nutritional value, cockroach milk is extremely high in calories. Researchers are currently working to sequence the genes so they can be reproduced in a lab — and the world can avoid the horror of a cockroach milking farm.
FRANCE - A priest has been killed in an attack by two armed men at his church in a suburb of Rouen in northern France. The attackers entered the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray during Mass, taking the priest, Fr Jacques Hamel, 84, and four other people hostage.
GERMANY - Has the world gone mad? This question is occupying the minds of many people these days. It feels like the world is out of step, that multiple crises are encroaching upon us and that the distant world of international politics is about to get dangerously personal. How are we supposed to deal with the feeling of living in an era that we no longer seem to understand?
JAPAN - Nineteen residents have been killed in a knife attack at a care centre for people with mental disabilities in the Japanese city of Sagamihara. Such attacks are extremely rare in Japan - the incident is the worst mass killing in decades. Police have arrested a local man, said to be a former employee of the centre, who went to a nearby police station and allegedly admitted to the attack. He reportedly said he wanted people with disabilities to "disappear". The attack has shocked Japan, one of the safest countries in the world. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said it was "a very heart-wrenching and shocking incident in which many innocent people became victims". The victims were aged between 19 and 70, the Kyodo news agency, said citing the Sagamihara City Fire Department. Another 25 people were injured, 20 seriously. Both men and women were reported to be among the dead.
