"What Lies Beyond the Edge of the Universe?”
* "What Lies Beyond the Edge of the Universe?”*
by Andrew Moseman
“The visible edge of the universe is, by definition, the most distant thing
that we can see. That does not mean it is the most distant thing we can
feel, however. According to astrophysicist Alexander Kashlinsky of NASA’s
Goddard Space Flight Center, something from way beyond the edge seems to be
pulling powerfully on galaxies in our universe, yanking them along in a
motion he calls “dark flow.” Kashlinsky and his team noticed this
phenomenon while studying the cosmic microwave background, radiation left

the satirical comedy "The Interview" about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Sony on Wednesday pulled the Christmas Day release of the film depicting a

There were no tracks near the body and no blood on the ground, but strange

Any American who has his or her money in the stock market should read – several times if necessary – Paul Craig Roberts’ seminal essay below. In short, the U.S. government and the too-big-to jail banks are playing games with our nest eggs such that when their house of cards finally falls – as it must – they will walk away with much of our savings …unless we (1) understand their casino games and (2) take advantage of the places where we can safely place our money. For the past 9 months I have been subscribing to various investment advisors, most of whom I’ve found to actually believe the government lie that the unemployment rate is 5.8% – a number that is largely due to not counting people who have tried to find a job for more than a year and finally gave up. In fact, when this and other factors were considered by John Williams (of Shadow Government Statistics) he found that the true unemployment rate is currently about 23% …and that most new jobs pay little more than Walmart. So those advisors who believe the big lie are doomed to lose their shirts together with their clients. Many of these same advisors are now making a big deal about Russia’s extreme devaluation of the ruble, whereas PCR points out below that “Unlike the US, which has a massive trade deficit, Russia has a trade surplus”! (emphasis added). According to the advisors who know the crash is coming, the best advice for American investors comes from a 40-year advisor to large corporations, Wall Street, and the CIA and author of the book The Death of Money, Jim Rickards (some of whose picks can be found in my immediately preceding post).

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo: Repulsive, But Not Stupid
Prior to his reelection as governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo promised to
“break” the public school “monopoly.” He stated that he “likes charter
schools” because he believes they introduce competition. Cuomo also
promised what he terms “a more rigorous [teacher] evaluation system.” Of
course, his real goal is to replace public schools with charter […]
After $28 Billion In Aid, The U.S. Is Still Unable To Get Pakistan To Confront Its Radical Militants
*Despite Billions In Aid, U.S. Unable To Get Pakistan To Confront Militants
-- Reuters*
(Reuters) - Since 2001 the United States has tried virtually every strategy
available to persuade Pakistan's army to take the threat of militancy more
seriously, but 12 years and $28 billion in aid later, all the American
approaches are widely viewed as having failed.
First, the Bush administration heaped praise on former Pakistani President
Pervez Musharraf, agreed to reimburse the Pakistani army for anti-Taliban
military operations and launched drone strikes that killed al Qaeda leaders

FFWN: Sydney, Pakistan, Sony false flags & much more!
This week's FFWN almost got pre-empted when Frontier internet service
collapsed in south central Wisconsin just minutes before the show. So I had
to broadcast from a local café, with the show beginning 45 minutes late.
(Then when I got home an unmarked black helicopter flew back and forth
overhead about a quarter-mile to the west.) Just another exciting day at
False Flag Weekly News!
Just to spite the bastards, we did a full hour show and reported on 40
stories, including 15 in the False Flag category..
