By B.N. Frank Decades of government, independent, industry, and military research has determined that exposure to non-ionizing radiation from wireless sources – cell phones, cell towers, other wireless devices and infrastructure, and 5G – is biologically harmful (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Of course, there have always been organizations that pooh-pooh exposure risks and continue to do so despite increasing scientific evidence of harm. This includes The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) which has also been accused of deliberately trying to confuse and mislead the public in the past (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, […]
The mass formation psychosis is strong over the United States. How else can you explain the continued dominance of a vaccine industry that has murdered thousands? This vaccine industry is also in cahoots with an anti-American media machine that has forwarded the great lie and is now waging its anti-human war upon babies and children. This is the Liberal World Order foisted upon us by our self-serving Occupier-in-Chief globalist tool and New World Order zealot Joe Biden. And as the Constitution-ignoring occupier continues to split the Country by feeding it into the clutches of Marxism, the walls are closing in on […]

Chris Pincher was the man Boris Johnson put in charge of investigating sex allegations and keeping discipline in his ruling Conservative party. Now Pincher has reportedly been accused in more than a dozen new reports of alleged groping, touching, and inappropriate advances. The hideous cavalcade of allegations against Pincher has piled pressure on Johnson’s administration, which already had something of an accountability issue. The latest rounds of revelations about Pincher, which he denies, began last week. A report in The Sun said Pincher had gotten drunk at a private members club in London and groped two men.

Authored by ‘sundance’ via The Last Refuge, It is very curious timing in this article from Newsweek, containing massive geopolitical implications, using identified Saudi Arabia sources, would come in advance of Joe Biden’s visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Is this strategic geopolitical pressure from Saudi leader Mohamed Bin Salman (MbS) ahead of the meeting with Biden; or is this a genuine possibility that looms as likely? If the former, then Joe Biden is being geopolitically slow roasted by Saudi Arabia for his previous disparagements and ideological hypocrisy in his visit. If it is the latter, well, then the tectonic plates […]
“Aren’t we done yet?” asked one Spider-Man 3 reviewer in 2007. Like he was already waiting for this to be over. (In hindsight—and two more Spider-Man actors plus about 735 superhero films later—how adorable.) Too many villains, a longer runtime, a soapy amnesia plot, and a goofy dance sequence contributed to Spidey fatigue. Cut to 15 years later, and the reaction to the conclusion of Sam Raimi’s trilogy has softened. And, it seems, Peter Parker is no longer the only hero ready to bust out some dance moves. Television is awash with twirling contenders prepared to snatch that crown—or mirrorball trophy. […]

On Saturday, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos tweeted that US President Joe Biden was either leading the nation down a problematic path, or demonstrating a “deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics,” after issuing a social media demand for “companies running gas stations” to lower their prices amid “a time of war and global peril.” Source link
Sunday on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation,” Democratic strategist James Carville sounded the alarm over the upcoming midterm elections. After sharing how “petrified” and “mortified” he was heading into the midterms, Carville said that “if this country does not have a voter intervention,” then he was “not optimistic about its future.” “I am not a voice of calm. I’m petrified,” Carville told host Al Sharpton. “And I will echo what my friend Congressman Clyburn said — if this country does not have voter intervention, I am not optimistic about its future.” “And if people, and particularly young people, if they care any about this country […]

The planetary boundaries concept has profoundly changed the vocabulary and representation of global environmental issues. There is a need though to bring forward a more critical social science perspective to this framework by (re) defining boundaries through transdisciplinary and democratic processes. The concept of planetary boundaries was introduced by Johan Rockström and colleagues in 2009 in the wake of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen where countries endeavored ‒ but ultimately failed ‒ to agree upon a new framework for climate-change mitigation. In contrast to earlier debates on environmental limits, “planetary boundaries” focus less on the exhaustion of natural resources than […]
Archaeologists in Sichuan Province, China announced this week they have uncovered evidence of ancient efforts to commune with fairies. A cache of bronze, jade, and gold artifacts as well as evidence of ancient sacrificial rituals were unearthed. Some of the artifacts, scientists said, are one-of-a-kind objects that hint at the “fairy world” of ancient Chinese religion and thought. But if you’re picturing folk religion and Tinkerbell, think again. The discoveries were made at the famous Sanxingdui archeological site in the city of Guanghan in the southwest of Sichuan Province. The veritable treasure trove was excavated from sacrificial pits 7 and 8 […]

Here’s just one famous LTCM strategy: The algorithm identified situations where the spread had widened between the yield on the most recently issued 30-year U.S. Treasury bond and that of an “off-the-run” bond, such as one issued a year earlier (essentially, a 29-year bond). Historically, investors pay a modest liquidity premium for “on-the-run” bonds (which means their yields are slightly lower than the off-the-runs) but, given that both investments represented the same “risk-free” exposure to the U.S. government, the idea was that the spread between the two shouldn’t deviate too far for too long. So, at times when the liquidity premium […]
The globalists and freaks in the left-wing media are trying to convince people to eat bugs. Eating bugs is degrading and that’s why the elitists are pushing them as a “sustainable” source of protein for the peasants.

An insurance company in Southlake, Texas, vowed to pay medical bills for workers wanting to have babies as a response to the Roe v. Wade decision. In a social media post on Monday, Buffer Insurance said it “will pay the medical costs for our employees who birth babies” and “Provide paid time off for employees to have maternity & paternity leave.” The company added it would “pay for the medical costs associated with adopting a baby.” “Secular companies are paying the travel costs for employees to abort babies out-of-state,” one of the company’s infographics read.

The northeastern Ohio city of Akron is canceling public events for the coming holiday weekend amid protests over the police killing of a young Black man. Dump trucks were being positioned across downtown streets on Friday to block traffic and a public festival was canceled ahead of anticipated mass protests in response to the killing of Jayland Walker, a Black delivery driver, by Akron police earlier this week. Late Monday night, the 25-year-old Walker was shot and killed during a traffic stop for a claimed traffic violation that turned into a car and foot chase and ended in a hail of police bullets. […]
(Natural News) Retired firefighter Chad Caton blasted former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her remarks against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Her comments came amid the June 24 overturn of the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion. “Clinton, apparently, has an enormous issue with Thomas all the way back from university,” Caton said during the June 30 episode of his show “I’m Fired Up” on Brighteon.TV. According to the New York Post, both Clinton and Thomas attended Yale Law School in Connecticut. The failed Democratic presidential candidate graduated in 1973, while the magistrate received […]

Ed Jones / AFP Via Getty Images. On the last day of its term, the Supreme Court handed down a case no less impactful than its shameful ruling a week earlier that overturned Roe v. Wade. In West Virginia v. EPA, the court’s right-wing members confirmed they are in the pockets of the fossil fuel companies. The 6-3 majority sided with coal companies and Republican-led states to restrain the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) power to regulate carbon emissions. […]
In September, Canberra became a part of the joint AUKUS security agreement – alongside the UK and the US – as part of a larger effort to provide the Australian military with nuclear-powered submarines to confront China’s increasing power in the Indo-Pacific.

There are two main airports in the wealthy enclave of East Hampton, New York, and now both are mired in turmoil. East Hampton Airport, the larger of the pair, was already slogging through months of litigation over the town’s effort to curb relentless air traffic. Then, late last month, news broke that a mysterious buyer had swooped in to acquire nearby Montauk Airport—also located within East Hampton—sending some residents reeling over the possibility that an unnamed tycoon will get to dictate its rules. As the summer heats up, and the ultra-rich descend via choppers and private planes, locals are girding for […]

Authored by Jonathan Turley, In a rare move, Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley has sent letters to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin demanding that authorities put an end to picketing and “threatening activity” outside the homes of SCOTUS justices. The letter seeks to use state laws to achieve what the Justice Department has clearly rejected under federal law. If the letter prompts arrests, we could see a major free speech challenge in the courts. The timing of the letter, however, is particularly interesting and may reflect a recognition of the limits of the federal […]
(Natural News) The administration of President Joe Biden is preventing America’s second-largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant from restarting operations after it was forced to shut down due to a fire in June over alleged “risks to public safety.” On June 8, an unexplained explosion knocked out Freeport LNG’s plant in Quintana, Texas, after the blast caused a fire that spread through a large part of the plant. This facility is responsible for bringing America over two billion cubic feet of LNG per day and 16.5 million tons of LNG per year.

(Natural News) A Supreme Court decision may force over 70,000 truck owner-operators in California to stop driving, creating another choke point in the already stressed West Coast logistics networks. The AB5 law restricts the use of independent contractors and will soon be enforced against the trucking industry after the court declined to hear their appeal. The California Trucking Association said in a statement that gasoline has been poured on the fire that is the ongoing supply chain crisis, and the decision by the Supreme Court could deny a judicial review of a lower court ruling. In an end-of-term orders […]
