Amalgam fillings are one of the most common dental fillings used today. They are cheaper and are more likely to be covered by dental insurances. But what many dentists are not telling you is that amalgam is about 50% mercury, a toxic heavy metal known to contribute to a vast array of diseases including neurological problems and even cancer. While many dentists in the U.S. are switching to mercury-free fillings, there is no official U.S. law restricting or banning their use. However, the European Union made news in recent years by announcing a landmark amalgam ban, which hopefully w... more »
History of Wheatgrass: Research Halted by the Pharmaceutical Industry in 1940s
The first use of wheatgrass can be traced back to about 5,000 years ago when the ancient Egyptians used young grass for health and vitality. In modern times, wheatgrass consumption was introduced to the Western world by a Food Chemist from Kansas City, Missouri Charles Franklin Schnabel, who is often called “the Father of Wheatgrass.” And later it became popular because of Dr. Ann Wigmore, who Founded the Hippocrates Health Institute. Charles Franklin Schnabel: The Father of Wheatgrass In 1928, when the idea of vitamins in nutrition was only starting to achieve recognition among hea... more »
Study Finds U.S. Farmland Now 50 Times More Toxic to Bees Than Before GMOs Were First Introduced
In 1995, the first insecticide-producing GMO crop (corn) was officially by approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Now, nearly 25 years later, the American agricultural landscape has become a toxic, deadly minefield of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, poison-coated seeds called neonicotinoids, and other instruments of death that are ravaging honeybee populations from Maine to California. That was the finding of a new study published in the journal PLOS One earlier this month, which warned that modern agricultural techniques are causing a veritable... more »
See This AR-15 Rifle? It Could Turn Anyone Into a Sniper
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Described by the company as a “precision-guided firearm,” the 500-Series rifle could revolutionize how armies all over the world prepare for war. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Ballistic computers will eventually be standard issue in Western armies. The ability to easily hit a target at 500 yards, even while standing or lying beneath a car, is a rifleman’s dream come true—especially if he didn’t have to train for years in order to do it. During the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, firearms-manufacturer TrackingPoint announced an AR-15 version of i... more »
King Abdullah Pushes Pompeo on Palestinian Independence. Will This Stop Israel’s Annexation Plan?

DARPA Scientists Had a Plan to Replace the M-16 Rifle. It Failed.
*Matthew Moss* *Security, * It wasn't so easy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * In the early 1970s, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency worked on a “Low Maintenance Rifle” concept—or LMR. DARPA thought the new weapon could be a replacement for the troubled M-16 rifle. The Pentagon hired TRW Systems to design the new gun. The U.S. Army’s Small Arms Systems Agency at Aberdeen Proving Ground monitored the project’s progress. The disappointing performance of the M-16 in Vietnam spurred the effort. In the mid-1960s, American G.I.s found that rifle to be a maintenance ... more »

The State And White Supremacy
As an ongoing phenomenon, the analysis of what is referred to as the George Floyd, or now the “Black Lives Matter” demos, must be necessarily tentative. It has been instructive to observe how the energy and passion of the spontaneous militant response to the murder of George Floyd went from a movement that saw the burning of a police station transformed into one in which, according to Martin Schoots-McAlpine , the most militant demand was to make “minor amendments to municipal budgets.” I will resist the temptation of attempting to address all the components and will only focus on... more »
Israel’s Attacks On Iran’s Nuclear Sites Signal A New Phase Of Conflict
Over the past week, mysterious explosions and fires have wracked key infrastructure connected to Iran’s nuclear programme at Natanz and Parchin, key facilities engaged in uranium enrichment and the production of rocket fuel for ballistic missiles. The US and Israel have accused Iran of violating UN resolutions and the nuclear deal in testing new ballistic-missile technology.

The Impact Of The Economic War On Venezuela
It would be impossible to count each and every one of the ways in which the war on Venezuela declared by imperialism has harmed the country. The aggressions that we, the Venezuelans, have experienced since 1999 have been not only economic; they have been psychological as well. There is no way to measure the consequences of the hate planted by the anti-democratic opposition, with its anti-socialist propaganda; it has extended to the point of burning people alive for being Chavistas. The outrage felt by the Venezuelan people when they see those who have sold out their native land ... more »
Supreme Court Rejects Effort To Greenlight Keystone XL Construction

At one point, he gave voice to the least savvy thought of all time: FRIEDMAN (7/8/20): *Biden should insist that a real-time fact-checking team approved by both candidates be hired* by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates—and that *10 minutes befor... more »

The Latest ‘Russiagate’ Bombshell Took One Week To Be Exposed As Dud
Within just one week the recent attempt to revive 'Russiagate' has failed. It was an embarrassing failure for the media who pushed it. Their 'journalists' fell for obvious nonsense. They let their sources abuse them for political purposes. On June 27 the New York Times and the Washington Post published stories which claimed that Trump was informed about alleged Russian bounty payments to the Taliban for killing U.S. soldiers and did nothing about it: A Russian military spy unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to attack coalition forces in Afghanistan, including U.S.... more »
