This isn't a one off – in fact, 27% of largemouth bass in the same region also show undesirable sex change indications. Meanwhile, an earlier report by Natural News states that tiny amounts of estrogen used in birth control pills is making its way into waterways and causing wild fish populations to collapse. With the increasing number of reports around the subject, is it possible that humans are also at risk of unwanted sex changes?

It is thought that the natural excretion of synthetic estrogen from birth control pills can be one of the leading causes of sex changes in fish, with male fish becoming feminized once they come into contact with the chemical. This causes them to produce the same hormones that female fish do and develop eggs where their testes should be.

The amount of estrogen needed to feminize male fish is thought to be very small, meaning that fish populations can drop quite dramatically after exposure to a small amount of the hormone. These sex changes have not just been recorded in fish, but also in frogs, alligators, turtles, quail and rats, with studies into whether the same effects are happening in humans well underway. The sex changes seen in fish are a strong indication that something is very wrong with our waterways – and there is a good chance it is affecting humans too.

At a Downing Street dinner with Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, Mr Cameron forced Brussels to admit Britain needs an immediate “emergency brake” on the number of foreigners coming to the UK. In a major breakthrough, the agreement would allow Mr Cameron to impose a four-year ban on migrants claiming in-work benefits in the UK immediately after the referendum. The concession by Mr Tusk suggests that he has the agreement of the 27 other EU member states, meaning that none of them is likely to veto.

Mr Tusk had been due to publish his final offer to the UK today, but has now agreed to hold another 24 hours of talks after Mr Cameron told him that the deal on the table was “not good enough”. The Prime Minister warned Mr Tusk that Britain could vote to leave the EU unless Brussels does more to ensure that the number of foreigners coming to the UK is reduced.

On Sunday night Mr Tusk accepted Mr Cameron’s demand that any “emergency brake” comes into force immediately. It allows Mr Cameron to reject claims that his “emergency brake” will be subject to a veto by Brussels. The concession appears to be the first time that the EU has accepted that freedom of movement – the rule allowing citizens of the bloc to live and work in any member state – puts a strain on prosperous countries like the UK.

The President does not have to deploy the US military to turn America into a militarized police state, however. He can use his unlimited authority to expand programs that turn local police forces into adjuncts of the US military, and send them increasing amounts of military equipment. Using the threat of ISIS to justify increased police militarization will be enthusiastically supported by police unions, local officials, and, of course, politically-powerful defense contractors. The only opposition will come from citizens whose rights have been violated by a militarized police force that views the people as the enemy.

As the American economy faces continued stagnation, and as challenges to the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency mount, an increasingly authoritarian government will impose new restrictions on our economic activities and new limits on our financial privacy. In particular, our ability to move assets out of the country will be limited, and new reporting and other requirements will limit our ability to use cash without being treated as criminals or terrorists. Those who carry large amounts of cash will find themselves at increased risk of having the cash confiscated by government agents under civil asset forfeiture laws.

If Senator McConnell’s declaration of perpetual war passes, presidents could use the war on ISIS as a justification to impose new restrictions on our use of cash and our financial privacy via executive action. After all, they will say, the government needs to make sure cash is not being used to support ISIS.

Suffice to say, if a significant percentage of people ever actually moved their money into physical cash, it could very quickly become a systemic problem. Indeed, this is precisely what caused the 2008 meltdown, when nearly 24% of the assets in Money Market funds were liquidated in the course of four weeks. The ensuing liquidity crush nearly imploded the system.

Because of this, Central Banks and the regulators have declared a War on Cash in an effort to stop people trying to get their money out of the system. One policy they are considering is to put a carry tax on physical cash meaning that your Dollar bills would gradually depreciate once they were taken out of the bank. Another idea is to do away with actual physical cash completely.

So… if a large bank fails in the US, your deposits at this bank would either be “written-down” (read: disappear) or converted into equity or stock shares in the company. And once they are converted to equity you are a shareholder not a depositor… so you are no longer insured by the FDIC.

So if the bank then fails (meaning its shares fall)… so does your deposit.

Let’s run through this.

Let’s say ABC bank fails in the US. ABC bank is too big for the FDIC to make fold. So…

1) The FDIC takes over the bank.

2) The bank’s managers are forced out.

3) The bank’s debts and liabilities are converted into equity or the bank’s stock. And yes, your deposits are considered a “liability” for the bank.

4) Whatever happens to the bank’s stock, affects your wealth. If the bank’s stock falls at this point because everyone has figured out the bank is in major trouble… your wealth falls too.

This is precisely what has happened in Spain during the 2012 banking crisis over there. Since then it’s also happened in Cyprus, Greece… and it is now perfectly legal in the US courtesy of a clause in the Dodd-Frank bill. This is just the start of a much larger strategy of declaring War on Cash. The goal is to stop people from being able to move their money into physical cash and to keep their wealth in the financial system at all costs.

In late 2014, the Brazilian minister of health announced that a new Tdap shot would be mandatory for all expectant mothers starting in 2015. Since it’s mandatory, mothers with birth defect babies received this newly formulated vaccine while pregnant. The timeliness of the Tdap vaccine and the sudden rise in birth defects is more than just a little coincidental. The consequences of this untested vaccine is being swept under the rug. Which brings us once again to Bill Gates, the King of Eugenics and Vaccines.

The Tdap shot has never been proven safe for use during pregnancy. In fact, Tdap is classified by the FDA as a Class C drug indicating it is NOT A SAFE CHOICE during pregnancy. Is it any wonder there was a rush to place the birth defect epidemic blame elsewhere? The fact that Brazil subjected its pregnant women to such a mandatory untested vaccine is genocidal, and now they know it. They bought the kool-aid without doing the precautionary research. Or perhaps they received enough money to look the other way. Consequently, the United States is now pushing to develop a vaccine for the Zika virus. Haven’t we been down this road before with mainstream media’s Ebola scares and the predictable rush to capitalize on a lucrative vaccine for all those in fear for their life (which they already had waiting in the wings)?

To make matters worse, Brazil says they will mobilize 220,000 soldiers to fight the Zika virus. Soldiers are being ordered to go door-to-door to spray insecticides in neighborhoods to help kill mosquitoes. Toxic insecticide spraying around pregnant women and children? Are they insane?

There’s more to this story… Now, scientists in Brazil are studying genetic sequences of mosquitoes allegedly transmitting the Zika virus and other diseases to see whether changes have occurred that could have generated mutant mosquitoes. The mosquito Gates released was likely to be a long-term dream of his he had for forced birth control and forced vaccinations, which he has been working on since 2003.

In the forced vaccination scenario, the mosquitoes are genetically programmed to produce the “vaccine” permanently once released into the environment, so they would not have to release new mosquitoes EVER again. Their effects would simply become part of nature. This means that at some time in your life you and everyone else is bound to be bitten by a mosquito created by Bill Gates. God help us all!

Lee Fuell, who is the technical director for force modernization and employment at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), said that if hypersonic missile attacks were “combined with more traditional ballistic missile attacks forcing a target to defend against very high aspect warheads coming in this way at the same time they have to defend against low altitude, very high speed targets coming in [another] way, it makes the defense problem orders of magnitude worse for the defender.”

In other words, US missile defense systems could theoretically be overwhelmed by such an attack. As the superpowers compete for military superiority, billions of dollars are being spent while the world becomes increasingly unstable in terms of the possibility of a full-scale attack being staged — whether triggered by accident or on purpose.

For Pope Francis, a key element of his narrative is the (often exaggerated) notion that he’s a liberal maverick. Even when he does or says something that other popes have done or said a thousand times before, it’s touted as an innovation. Recent days have brought examples on the ecumenical front of the push for unity among the various branches of Christianity.

In more traditional Catholic circles, all this has elicited alarm, with some seeing Francis as too “soft” on the boundaries between Catholicism and the rest of the Christian world. Yet if Francis is to be judged weak on that basis, then so must every pope for at least the last 50 years, including figures whose own narratives make them out as iron-willed (St John Paul II) or arch-conservative (Pope Benedict XVI).

Catholicism’s commitment to ecumenism was ratified at the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), and every pope since has moved the ball. Even before the council ended, Pope Paul VI in 1964 traveled to Jerusalem to meet Patriarch Athenagoras of Constantinople, the first encounter between the leaders of Western and Eastern Christianity in more than 500 years.

The bottom line is that if Francis is to be styled as a revolutionary for his ecumenical agenda, it’s a revolution that started long before he arrived, and will almost certainly continue long after he’s gone.

Both Marius and Ruth are practicing Christians and their faith got their children removed from their home. Cristian Ionescu, a relative of the Bodnarius, told World Magazine that the two Bondariu girls were taken from school without their parent's consent or knowledge and later the same day police arrived at the family's home to remove two of the three sons.

The 3-month-old son was left with Ruth. She called Marius, who was at work as an IT engineer for the mayor's office. Marius rushed home and the couple immediately turned to the police station for answers. Unfortunately, they were turned away with no more information than they had when they arrived.

The next day, police returned to the Bodnariu home to remove the baby with claims that Ruth's tears at the police station "posed a danger to the child." Two days after their youngest boy was taken, Barnevernet officials told the couple their children were "integrating well" in two separate foster homes. The Bodnarius' were later notified by the government that their children were removed under charges of "Christian radicalism and indoctrination."

The children's removal was initiated by the school principal, who told Barnevernet the Bodnarius' were "very Christian," and their belief that God punishes sin "creates a disability in the children." Though the principal admitted the girls showed no signs of physical abuse, she insisted their parents required "help and guidance."

Chaotic Moon’s dual-purpose tattoo is comprised of electro conductive ink embedded with sensors and microchips. Here is the reasoning why this product is so desirable according to one of the developers, Eric Schneider, who mentions the banking aspect to CBSNewYork: “We carry wallets around and they are so vulnerable (more vulnerable than millions of people getting hacked at once?). With the tech tattoo you can carry all your information on your skin and when you want your credit card information or your ID, you can pull that up automatically through the system,” he said.

And the medical: “Rather than going to the doctor once a year for your physical, this tech tattoo can be something you put on your body once a year and it monitors everything that they would do in a physical and it sends that to your doctor, and if there’s an issue they can call you,” Schneider said. “So the tech tattoos can really tie in everything into one package. It can look at early signs of fever, your vital signs, heart rate, everything it needs to look at to notify you that you’re getting sick or your child is getting sick.”

We already have seen an uptick in new biometric security measures being rolled out for policing, travel and banking. Many of these measures – as well as what is being planned by Chaotic Moon – are tied to a smartphone, which we have learned ad nauseum is anything but secure. However, what at first seems sensible is moving down the slipperiest of slopes into areas most couldn’t have imagined.

This is no longer the personal choice about how to apply tech to one’s own body or family, but is now becoming a system where government agencies take the role of parent, and we-the-people become children. Most troubling of all is that it likely will be mandated unless there is mass opposition.

The Bank of Japan said it would begin to charge banks for the privilege of holding money at the central bank, cutting its rate from 0.1 percent to -0.1 percent. It is the latest attempt by monetary policymakers to kickstart the economy three years after the government of Shinzo Abe launched an unprecedented assault on deflation and low growth.

The Bank of Japan has already embarked on the most ambitious programme of quantiative easing seen anywhere in the world, buying up assets to the tune of 80 trillion yen a year in government bonds. Central banks have increasingly taken recourse to negative rates, eight years after the onset of the financial crisis.

The European Central Bank imposed a negative deposit rate in 2014, following the likes of Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark in a round of global "competitive easing". The Bank of England's chief economist has suggested the UK may also need to impose negative rates to fight off the next recession.
