March 4, 2014
With activism at all time highs surrounding incognito threats lurking
within the food supply, and major movements throughout the country all
aimed at sweeping things like GMOs from the food supply, it should come as
no surprise that agencies like the FDA are concerned about internal
whistleblowers leaking key intel to the public. It should also come as no
surprise that government organizations from the FDA to the FCC are now
monitoring social networks across the board, all on a quest to track the

Sandy Hook HOAX! Sherry Questioning All Shows Evidence That There Were NO Children At Sandy Hook Elementary School "Shooting" At All!
In previous articles that I posted at this blog from videos and articles
from a great fellow real truth seeker, Sherrie, who writes the excellent
blog: "Sherrie Questioning All" (www.sherriequestioningall.blogspot.com)
evidence was presented that shows that the so called "School" where that so
called "massacre" that occurred at Sandy Hook on December 14th, 2012, could
not have had students at all... It was a dilapidated pig-sty, as well as a
serious health hazard due to horrific amounts of mold and algae. It is a

“I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked... Iran may not seem the best vantage

revolution in why democratic upsurges often produce mayhem, followed in
short order by tyranny.

Crack down on crime where it counts

baby to look after him well. A neighbour saw the news about the foundling
and called in to report the young mother who had abandoned the baby, and
now she's going to prison.

PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING
My mother used to say "the proof is in the pudding". In the case of the US
strategy concerning Ukraine and Russia the 'ugly facts' are starting to
tell the real story.
At least five of those appointed to the 'new revolutionary cabinet' in
Ukraine come from the ultra-right nationalist (neo-Nazi) Svoboda and Right
Sector parties. One of those appointments is the Deputy Secretary of
National Security & Defense Council which likely means alot of head busting
if anyone 'gets out of line'.

Iraq Getting Better At Executing Its Budget But Large Problems Still Remain
Since 2003 Iraq’s budget has steadily increased. That year it was a measly
$6 billion and by 2013 it was over $116 billion. In the first couple years
Baghdad struggled to execute its budget, but that rate has improved as well
with time. Unfortunately the government still has major problems spending
its investment money holding back the rebuilding of the country.
As Iraq regained its sovereignty and petroleum profits picked up so did the
size of its budget. In 2003 the Americans only allocated $6.1 billion for
the Iraqis to spend. That quickly jumped to $19.9 billion the following... more »

Rob Ford on Jimmy Kimmel
Part of Jimmy Kimmel's interview of Rob Ford:
A lot of people on twitter were saying that Jimmy Kimmel, a comedian,
asked the questions Peter Mansbridge wouldn't, that it was one of the most
hard-hitting interviews of Ford. Kimmel directly confronted Ford on his
domestic abuse charges and drug use. Ford in all this seemed out of it, was
cringe-worthy to watch. It can't have been a good night for Ford, with a
headline like "Rob Ford Ridiculed on Jimmy Kimmel Live" on the CBC. After,

The report from Elections Canada on irregularities in the 2011 election is

One is that Elections Canada finds that the dirty work was limited to just

A second is that Elections Canada finds evidence of robocalls and other
acts of subterfuge in many ridings, but leaves hanging the question of

Then fall silent as if listening

So translucent in the light,
So swift to take flight,
One barely notices
It's been here and gone.’
