A new report claims that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has deliberately covered up the dangers of fracking for years, hiding the information from the public. An environmental watchdog says the systematic cover-up proves that toxic emissions as a result of fracking are a danger to public health. Commondreams.org reports: That cover-up, the group says, was at the hands of at least one EPA researcher who accepted payments from the oil and gas industry. In an incendiary federal complaint (pdf) filed on Wednesday with the EPA’s Inspector General, the 28-year-old North Caroli... more »

Federal Appeals Court Scraps 2nd Amendment
A federal appeals court has dealt a blow to the 2nd Amendment by declaring that Americans do not have a constitutional right to carry concealed weapons. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that law enforcement officials should place heavy restrictions on who is allowed to carry concealed guns. Newsok.com reports: By a vote of 7-4, the court upheld a California law that says applicants must supply a “good cause” to obtain a concealed-carry permit. People who are being stalked or threatened, celebrities who fear for their safety, and those who routinely carry large amounts of ... more »
Old Cuban Saying About The GOP: "Show Me Who Your Friends Are And I Will Tell You Who You Are"
Lindsey Graham faced up to the reality of Trump's victory over the GOP and urged Florida millionaires he met with just over a week ago to back the party's bizarre nominee. Then came the crazy reaction to Judge Curiel and ole Lindsey faced up to a different kind of reality-- a GOP Dunkirk this fall. While wimpy Republican senators like Little Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte and Susan Collins tepidly criticized Trump's overt racism and eagerness to mix his personal business into the presidential race, none of them said they would put the country first over their own tattered political part... more »
Chaos As Food Stamp System In America Stops Working
American supermarkets are refusing people with food stamps as thousands of citizens have been left hungry for over 8 days due to a “glitch” in the food stamp system.

Zerohedge.com reports: On downdetector.com there are scores of reports of problems with the EBT system from people all over the nation.

A Look At How Life Has Changed For Ordinary Russians In The Past Two Years (Video)

Mike Philbin - INTROVERSIONS paintings - four new 20" x 16" canvases
Four new two-border 20" x 16" paintings in a similar style, but what happened? As usual (it's like when I'm writing, where the characters start to take over, which I love) the colour pairs seem to have gained a life and personality of their own and (while they're still in the same style as the previous six paintings) they're a little different in fundamentally important ways. *DAY LATER UPDATE:* I did three 50x50cm paintings a few days ago. I had this great plan, and it went wrong. The colours all got mushed to grey and they were nasty. Rather than destroy them, as I have done... more »
Valdemar Januszczac - The Dark Ages - An Age of Light

Seriously, this is some properly fucked up stuff... and there were two forms of Christia... more »

Study: Most Antidepressants Don’t Work for Young Patients
[image: In this Jan. 11, 2008 file photo, a bottle of Eli Lilly & Co.'s Prozac is pictured at a company facility in Plainfield, Ind.

All China’s Assets In The US Could Be Annulled, Sparking World War 3
Washington may decide not to fulfil its promise to pay back the huge debt it owes to China, sparking fears of World War 3. The former head of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, has suggested that the U.S. may be forced to annul its debt to Beijing under catastrophic circumstances that may well happen in the near future. “Who knows what the future holds, but China and other countries do not want to be in a situation where all their international assets are in effect dependent on the US,” King said in an article for Gold Investor magazine. RT.com reports: “Of course the US would not w... more »

Confidently, Wall Street Predicts Little Impact From The Election
Aside from funding Hillary's White House run-- $44,470,414 career-long, not counting millions in bribes "for speeches"-- what's Wall Street saying about the election? My own banker sent me what investment bankers at his company are reading. Dan Schnur, a Wisconsin Republican consultant who moved to California and was "reborn" an independent-- and who ran unsuccessfully (9.2% of the vote) for Secretary of State in 2014, claims it isn't anger that's driven voters to Trump and Bernie, but fear. In Schnur’s opinion, voters powering Donald Trump’s campaign into the spotlight are white... more »
Is The U.S. Taxpayer Funding Iran's Military Expansion?
Members of the Iranian Armed Forces (file photo) *Eli Lake, Bloomberg:* *U.S. Taxpayers Are Funding Iran's Military Expansion* One of the unexpected results of President Barack Obama's new opening to Iran is that U.S. taxpayers are now funding both sides of the Middle East's arms race. The U.S. is deliberately subsidizing defense spending for allies like Egypt and Israel. Now the U.S. is inadvertently paying for some of Iran's military expenditures as well. It all starts with $1.7 billion the U.S. Treasury transferred to Iran's Central Bank in January, during a delicate prisoner s... more »

Gardening More Meaningful than Voting in a Rigged Political System
*Alex Pietrowski* - If you're passionate enough to care about politics, you should be gardening already.
Untitled
*The Most Schooled Generation in History Is Miserable* *Millennials are stressed out because they're bored* It’s said that sadness isn’t the opposite of happiness — boredom is. With this in mind, is it any surprise that children, adolescents, and young adults today are so unhappy? Is it any surprise that so many turn to extending their schooled lives into structured activities as long as possible? Is it any surprise that when people don’t know what to do, they simply go to graduate school? To understand this mass unhappiness and boredom with life — and the sudden uptick in quarte... more »

The analysis can be found within the Global Peace Index 2016 report, which is put out each year by the Institute of Economics and Peace, an Australia-based think-tank. It ranked 163 countries on the degree of peace within their borders. The results since the initiative be... more »

*Peter Salisbury, CNN*: *How U.N.'s decision to drop Saudi from child-rights blacklist could backfire* (CNN)Saudi Arabia's foreign policy has become more and more assertive since King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud ascended to the throne in early 2015. Under its new ruler, and perhaps more importantly his son, the deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Kingdom has entered the fray of Yemen's civil war and has taken a much more visible role in pushing its agenda at an international level.

Frightening Education

Capitalism Is Good for the Poor
[image: goog-for-the-poor] *Markets beat back poverty, explains Steven Horwitz*. Critics frequently accuse markets and capitalism of making life worse for the poor. This refrain is certainly common in the halls of left-leaning academia as well as in broader intellectual circles. But like so many other criticisms of capitalism, this one ignores the very real, and very available, facts of history. [image: Cap1] Nothing has done more to lift humanity out of poverty than the market economy. This claim is true whether we are looking at a time span of decades or of centuries. The... more »
