Supreme Court To Rule On Elton John Celebrity Threesome Scandal Case
Lawyers for Elton John and David Furnish have pleaded with the Supreme Court to extend a Court of Appeal decision to ban the British press from publishing details about the celebrity threesome scandal the pair are currently embroiled in.

After hearing arguments from the couple’s lawyers, Lord Neuberger, the president of the Supreme Court, said jud... more »

The Economy: “The 21st Century Greater Depression”
*“The 21st Century Greater Depression”* by Paul Majchrowicz “I became interested in the question of how an organization whose business plan is theft can go bankrupt during the Enron debacle. I was well aware that many companies are forced into bankruptcy so that the executives can loot the pension plan and that this has been an accepted business practice for many decades; out of fashion now that there are no pension plans to loot. However, the thefts were made possible by junk bonds that destroyed companies that otherwise were going concerns providing real products and services tha... more »

April 22: The best (and worst) Irving paper ever.
It looked like a normal day as I turned to the Opinion and Commentary sections of the Irving press. The editorial was yet another half-baked one about reviving downtown by opening a former jail as a tourist attraction. It's not an old jail - not unless you consider the 1980s the Middle Ages. And the writer still hasn't caught on. If we want to revive downtown, we need people living there - especially older people in walking distance of the stores on Main St. We need buildings that can house people as well as shops and offices. And those buildings also have to supply recreation. No... more »

F.B.I. Paid Hackers $1.3 Million For Unlocking San Bernardino Terrorist's iPhone
FOX News: *James Comey: FBI spent over $1 million to unlock San Bernardino attacker's iPhone* The FBI paid a non-governmental third party over $1 million for technology that allowed the agency to unlock an iPhone 5C that belonged to San Bernardino gunman Syed Farook, according to a remark made by FBI director James Comey at a moderated discussion in London on Thursday. When asked exactly how much his agency shelled out for the technology, Comey told the audience at the Aspen Security Forum, “a lot.” He added the figure is “more than I will make in the remainder of this job – which... more »

Locals In Peru Force US Company To Scrap $5 Billion Mining Project
Activists in Peru have forced the second-largest gold mining corporation in the world, Newmont, to abandon its $5 billion Conga copper and gold mining project. Indigenous Peruvians say the conga mine project, which was intended to replace the nearly-depleted Yanacocha gold mine nearby, threatens the local environment At the forefront of the local resistance was Máxima Acuña de Chaupe, a 47-year-old grandmother who lives off a plot of farmland in Peru’s northern Cajamarca region, an area that would have been used by Newmont to drain a nearby lake to collect mining byproducts.

Blast Causes Massive Blaze At Chemical Facility In Eastern China
A powerful explosion struck a storage facility housing hazardous chemicals in China’s Jingjiang province on Friday, causing a huge ongoing blaze. A plume of black smoke has been rising from the storage reservoir engulfed in flames. RT reports: The factory stores chemicals and petrol. China’s media outlet 163.com says there are a total of 42 reservoirs at the oil processing facility where the explosion occurred. There have been no immediate reports about any injured or dead in the incident so far. According to photos published on social networks, a huge column of dense smoke is risin... more »
"Kinship..."
"Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky, and water was a real and active principle. In the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly feeling that kept us safe among them... The animals had rights - the right of man's protection, the right to live, the right to multiply, the right to freedom, and the right to man's indebtedness. This concept of life and its relations filled us with the joy and mystery of living; it gave us reverence for all life; it made a place for all things in the scheme of existence with equal importance to all." - Chief Luther Standing Bear

Prince: Speaker of Dangerous Truths, Silenced By The New World Order
It’s a sad day. We have lost Prince, one of those rare, fearless people, an advocate for truth, prepared to stand up to the powers that be and expose them for what they are. Prince knew the score. He famously walked around at the Grammys with SLAVE written on his cheek to protest against the terms of his contract with a multinational corporation. He told us we were all becoming slaves living on a New World Order slave plantation. He went on mainstream TV and told millions about the chemtrail agenda. He was fighting the good fight.

Prominent Scientist Warns Mega Earthquake Will Hit US This Weekend
A prominent US geologist has warned that a powerful mega earthquake is due to strike the U.S. this weekend, due to the fact that a full moon this Friday is set to occur at the same time the San Andreas Fault is showing signs of earthquake activity. Jim Berkland, a former US Geological Survey (USGS) scientist, once predicted the Loma Prieta quake, and has confirmed that mega quakes often occur during a new moon or full moon due to their gravitational effects on the Earth. Berkland decided to go public with his latest fears following the eight recent earthquakes that struck along sout... more »

Bizarre: Niagara Falls Turned Purple On Day Prince Died
Niagara Falls ‘coincidentally’ turned purple on the day that music legend Prince died at the age of 57. A picture of the majestic Falls was posted by Canadian travel company @CanoeTravel, who had stated that the reason for the tribute was Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday. With Prince’s death having occured that morning, people assumed the purple Niagara Falls was to commemorate Prince’s hit song “Purple Rain.” Consequenceofsound.net reports: The account incorrectly stated that Elizabeth’s birthday is the reason for the tribute, as clearly some mystical power has conspired to turn Mo...more »

Mysterious giant sphere Unearthed in Forest Divides Opinion
That ball does look like geology hard at work. What we sadly lack is a convincing natural process to form this object at this scale.

Top-Secret Bases in Antarctica

Mossack Fonseca: The Nazi, CIA And Nevada Connections... And Why It's Now Rothschild's Turn
*[image: Uniform Slaves by R.

Has China’s Coal Use Peaked?
I personally consider coal in particular and then oil to be essentially a dead duck.

Reining in CEO Pay: Market Discipline at the Top
This is a phenomena that i saw emerge during the past fifty year and all driven by short term thinking at the corporate level.

It certainly explains the serious difference between vegetarians and chronic meat eaters in terms of heart problems and cancer in particular. A daily Big Mac is a really ba... more »
A Time Bomb is Hidden beneath the Panama Papers

The best protective strategy has been to use codes that simply cost too much to break. Yet even that is plausibly hackable and i can assure you that Hilary is not the only security dodger out there to o... more »

Francis’ Message Calls on Church to Be Inclusive
If I have learned anything regarding the catholic church and its magisterial succession of popes during my lifetime it is this. The church gets it right on the most fundamental issues.

Yes it is human but that merely explains the long torturous path taken to arrive at truth in the face of change. I contend that the time has come for the Church to throw its christian blanket over all so called errant children and allow all the denominations to come back into the Catholic family.

The Myth of Primitive Communism

If Character Matters New Dem Darren Soto Will Never Be A Florida Congressman
Recently, Wall Street's congressional branch, the New Democratic Coalition, a grouping of corrupt right-of-center Democrats called the New Dems, released a list of candidates they have vetted and found Republican-lite enough and prone enough towards the corruption the group thrives on to endorse. No one was in the slightest bit surprised to find Florida state Senator Darren Soto's name on the list. We've been warning Democrats in the Orlando area since back in December that Soto is bad news-- unless you're the NRA, in which case Darren Soto is your kind of candidate. Oddly, Soto a... more »
U.S. Air Force Drop Goes Wrong .... Terribly Wrong. Results In 'Raining Humvees'
*RT*: *Cloudy with a chance of Humvees: Military vehicles plummet from sky in failed air drill (VIDEO)* It was raining Humvees last week when a US Army training exercise at Hohenfels military base in Germany went wrong. Three military vehicles detached from their parachute systems and crashed violently to the ground. An airborne drill at Hohenfels – the main headquarters of the US Army’s Joint Multinational Readiness Center – went wrong when C-130 Hercules tactical airlifters began to put HMMWV (Humvee) military off-roaders on the ground. As a result, three improperly-fastened ve...more »

The Paris Agreement: When is a treaty not a treaty?
Tomorrow is Earth Day, and there is a push in the climate community to encourage states to sign and ultimately ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change. With each of the last 11 months having been the hottest months on record and 93% of Australia’s Great Barrier reef experiencing “coral bleaching” from record-breaking hot ocean temperatures, […]

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Comet C/2014 S2 (PanSTARRS) poses for a Messier moment in this telescopic snapshot from April 18. In fact it shares the 1.5 degree wide field-of-view with two well-known entries in the 18th century comet-hunting astronomer's famous catalog. Outward bound and sweeping through northern skies just below the Big Dipper, the fading visitor to the inner Solar System was about 18 light-minutes from our fair planet. *Click image for larger size.* Dusty, edge-on spiral galaxy Messier 108 (upper right) is more like 45 million light-years away.

Chet Raymo, “Out Of Eden”
* “Out Of Eden”* by Chet Raymo “The Maori of New Zealand imagined the original man with his head planted firmly in the earth, an ocean issuing from his mouth, in his groin a gum tree, clouds on his feet. What are we to make of this upside-down Adam? No head-in-the-clouds this fellow. His tattooed noggin is fixed in the soil like a tuber. Arms spread like an ocean-going outrigger canoe. Heart and lungs smoldering in the hearth of his chest. Only the soles of his feet keeping the sky from crushing him out. Looks good to me. Humankind as integral to nature. Earth, water, fire, air.

More Great "holes in annual data"
from Alaska: Alaska officials have canceled the state’s computer-based standardized testing for the year, citing repeated technical problems that were interrupting students’ exams, throwing schools into chaos and threatening the validity of results. “I don’t believe under the circumstances that the assessment we were administering was a valid assessment,” Susan McCauley, interim commissioner of the state education department, said in an interview Tuesday. “Validity relies on a standardized assessment condition, and things were anything but standardized in Alaska last week.” The ca... more »

The Global Warming/Climate Change Fraud: Alberta Canada Residents Are About To Be Fleeced By The Scam Of "Carbon Taxes"
Everyone with two brain cells to rub together should know by now that the entire "Climate Change" aka "Global Warming" fear mongering is a sham.... It is so surprising to still see the rejects from clown college that are promoting this fraud out there trying their best to still convince a more skeptical audience that we must do something to "stop the planet from overheating" when we find more and more evidence every year that the planet is absolutely NOT about to overheat, but in fact is about to enter a long cooling trend.... But as a Canadian, I have long been worried about what t... more »

Great Barrier Reef Hysteria.
*Anthony Cox* The alarmists never rest. Despite UNESCOgiving the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) a clean bill of health alarmist scientists have increased their doom and gloom propaganda. Members of the James Cook University centre for excellence for coral reef studies, Andrew Baird and Terry Hughes have declared the reef has been all but destroyed by man-made global warming. When professor Hughes advised his students of the parlous state of the GBR there wasn’t a dry eye in the lecture theatre. This current bleaching has been a bad one. The El Niño which has caused it was as big as the ... more »

Video on the I-Beam
Although I do not wish to get involved in a long discussion about the nonsense of the Alien Autopsy, I had mentioned that the word, “video” in a stylized form appeared in the tent footage. Without taking a great deal of time on this, I found a photograph, published in *Roswell Alien Autopsy* by Philip Mantle, and published Noe Torres at RoswellBooks.com, which I mention in case anyone wishes to see the evidence about the film laid out carefully and precisely. First is the whole picture that appears in the book. It shows the I-beam with the word on it, together with other bits and p... more »
The Black Vault and MJ-12
John Greenewald of Black Vault fame has posted this to various UFO sites and I post it here for the convenience of the readers. John wrote: I wanted to share with you all something that took quite a few years to complete. I chased after the FBI Files for all of the alleged members of MJ-12. What I found interesting beyond the fact that they pretty much all had files – many of them (or portions thereof) were destroyed at some time in the past. Some of the dates, you can argue were around the time the MJ-12 documents originally surfaced, and began gaining traction (though, of course... more »

A Few Minutes Of Prince Recollections
Once I worked on a Jesuit-owned radio station and I played the above version of "Let's Pretend We're Married" and was told I'd be suspended if I ever played it again. So I did-- every time I went on the air for a year. They only suspended me once though. I bet YouTube takes the clip down within days-- if not hours. I was shocked when I heard Prince had died today. I was more shocked to hear he was 57. I always though of him as 40 years younger than that. I didn't know Prince well, but no one working at Warner Bros in the '80s didn't know something about the mythical Prince. Actua... more »
