System That Dominates Our Lives
Economic Collapse - If you are forced to build a pyramid, or pay

Polar Vortex 2.0 Arrives - All 50 States Will Freeze Tonight
3 months ago we warned US economic growth faced a challenge more
powerful than any Fed-sponsored miracle could handle and 3 weeks

monetary-policy-nullifying devil of Polar Vortex 2.0 arrives as
all 50 states (yes even Hawaii) will see temperatures drop below
Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth
NEWSMAX - With nasty cold fronts thrusting an icy and early
winter across the continental U.S. — along with last winter
described by USA Today as "one of the snowiest, coldest, most
miserable on record" — climatologist John L. Casey thinks the
weather pattern is here to stay for decades to come. In fact,
Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, is
out with the provocative book "Dark Winter: How the Sun Is
Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell," which warns that a radical shift
in global climate is underway, and that Al Gore and other
environmentalists have it completely wrong. The earth, he says,
is cooling, and cooling fast.
Federal government to monitor Twitter, track conservative users,
determine what is either 'true' or 'hate speech'
(NaturalNews) In August, The Washington Free Beacon, an
investigative news website that focuses primarily on exposing
government abuses of power, reported that the Obama

creation of an online database that was to track
"misinformation" and so-called "hate speech" on Twitter social
media feeds.
Prescription drug vending machines now being installed on
college campuses across America
(NaturalNews) American college students -- who are already the
most over-medicated population on the planet -- now have an even
easier way to pollute their brains with SSRI drugs,
antidepressants, antipsychotics and prescription "speed"
amphetamines which are routinely abused by students for final
exam cram study sessions. "School officials didn't specify
exactly what kind of drugs will be available in the machine, but
said it would contain 50 medications that are most commonly
prescribed to college students," reports CBS News.
Modern pills shown to encourage people to eat more junk
(NaturalNews) Weight loss is difficult, not because losing
weight is impossible, but because it takes time, patience and
consistency in doing all the right things. So unappealing,
right? So, millions of people have turned to modern medical
fixes that are supposed to make it easy -- and it appears to be
backfiring, according to a recent study.
Antibiotics can increase spread, severity of Salmonella
(NaturalNews) In some cases, treating people or animals with
antibiotics may cause them to spread Salmonella infections more
rapidly, and even in some cases to develop more severe
infections. This may be more likely to occur in those who are
not showing any current symptoms of salmonellosis but are
receiving antibiotics for some other reason.
Preventing Kidney Stones May Be As Simple As Changing Your Diet
Dr. Mercola - Once you've had them, your risk of recurrence
increases. About 35 percent to 50 percent of people will have
another bout with kidney stones within five years unless changes
are made.3 What type of changes? According to new guidelines
issued by the American College of Physicians (ACP), one of the
simplest strategies you can take is to drink more water.
Mainstream media finally exposes secretive vaccine court
(NaturalNews) Part of the problem is that, unlike typical civil
court cases, vaccine court cases do not have to rule in favor of
the plaintiffs for vaccine attorneys to get paid. Because of
this, the vaccine court system is clogged with cases, some of
which lack even basic evidence of harm caused by vaccines -- who
cares when you're getting paid, right? Some vaccine attorneys
also intentionally over-bill for their time since they receive
payments directly from the government, a.k.a. taxpayers, rather
than plaintiffs.
Cannabis 'Dramatically Reduces' Growth of Brain Cancer Cells:
New Study
Natural Society - The research showed that two active chemical
components found in cannabis plants, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
and cannabidiol (CBD), helped in the treatment of cancerous
brain tumors. This is one of the most difficult types of cancer
to treat effectively, and the rate of survival for patients who
get brain cancer is often very low. For many – once they receive
a diagnosis – they are given a short five years to live; any
hope of living after their prognosis is given a mere 10% chance.
Those are some stark statistics.
GMO-Loaded Food Corp Targets Natural Foods for Being 'Unfair

PETA Accused of Kidnapping and Euthanizing Family Dog
The Daily Sheeple - Cerate checked his security camera and the
video shows a van with "PETA" on the side back into his
driveway. Two women got out of the van and one walked up his
porch, took Maya, and put her in the back of the van.... It
turns out they were asked by the property owners to round up
stray dogs in the area.... After PETA was contacted, they
arrived at his front door a few days later bearing a token fruit
basket, and informed him that his dog had been euthanized. So
far the owner has showed more restraint than most people would
be capable of during such a bizarre and painful experience.

Tanzania accused of backtracking over sale of Masai's ancestral land
The Guardian - Tanzania has been accused of reneging on its promise to
40,000 Masai pastoralists by going ahead with plans to evict them and

The Independent - Whatever may have changed, it did not help Mr Kassig.
Yet the clear differences between the tape announcing his murder and the

Global Economy Worst in Two Years on Sluggish Eurozone, Slowing China
Sputnik News - The world economy is performing at its two-year worst due

Ebola tests can show false negatives, doctors shocked to learn
(NaturalNews) Initially, when surgeon Martin Salia's Ebola test came
back negative, he and his friends were elated. As noted by The
Washington Post, they all sort of celebrated a bit, and relaxed,
removing their protective gear and crying with him. But his symptoms
would not go away, and when they lasted another week, Salia was tested
once again, on Nov. 10. And this time, the test came back positive,
"sending the Sierra Leonean doctor with ties to Maryland on a desperate,
belated quest for treatment and forcing the colleagues who had embraced
him into quarantine," the Post reported.

The Next Presidential Election Will Move The World Closer To War
Paul Craig Roberts - Glenn Greenwald has revealed that Hillary
Clinton is the presidential candidate of the banksters and
warmongers. Pam and Russ Martens note that Elizabeth Warren is
the populist alternative. I doubt that a politician who
represents the people can acquire the campaign funds needed to
run a campaign. If Warren becomes a threat, the Establishment
will frame her with bogus charges and move her aside. Hillary as
president would mean war with Russia.

Wireless Technology: The "Trojan Horse" Attack on Public Health
Memory Hole Blog - It's the amount of energy it takes to begin
heating up your body like a microwave oven does. By the way,
cellphones and wireless use the same frequency–2.4 gigahertz–as
do microwave ovens. So they have the most harmful effects. The
reason a microwave oven works is that it's the frequency that
has the most resonance with water. It heats up the water most …
The same thing happens in the body because we're made of 80%
water or more. The body's water resonates with this and absorbs
the radiation. It couldn't be more of a deadly weapon.

13 Chemicals Used In U.S. Food Products That Are Banned In Other
Natural Blaze - The difference between the US and the rest of
the world is that once something is proven to be harmful, the
Food and Drug Administration disagrees mostly, and the chemicals
are still allowed to be widely used in food production, while
many other countries ban these additives and find safer
alternatives. Why does this happen? Mostly because many American
citizens are just uninformed and uneducated on this matter, they
choose to not speak out against it, and instead they keep buying
the products that contain these harmful chemicals.

GMO trees proposed to "rescue" American chestnut from invasive
Ars Technica - The relationship between the US public and
genetically modified organisms is a bit ambiguous. Efforts to

Americans, these issues remain pretty abstract. That may change
thanks to work taking place in upstate New York. There,
scientists are planning the return of an American icon in a
genetically modified form. And if all goes according to plan,
ten thousand GMO chestnut trees could be ready to plant in as
little as five years.

Watch out: the US government wants to pass new spying laws
behind your back
The Guardian - Now, as the post-election lame-duck session opens
on Wednesday in Washington, the Senate might try to sneak
through a "cybersecurity" bill that would, as the ACLU puts it,

vague and ambiguous law would essentially allow companies like
Google and Facebook to hand over even more of your personal

end up in the hands of the NSA and the FBI.
Senator Reid Moves Forward With NSA Reform Bill
EFF - We're pleased to see Sen. Harry Reid move toward a final

Mercury, root canals, cavitations - Is your mouth killing you?
(NaturalNews) Few people are aware that auto-immune disease,
chronic illnesses, and acute illnesses may be related to mercury
poisoning from dental fillings or unresolved infection involving
a root canal or extraction. In our society, conventional
medicine and conventional dentistry both separate the mouth from
the rest of the body, not realizing the synergistic relationship
between each tooth and vital organs or the mouth's ability to
create systemic illness. Systemic illness is also often a sign
of undiagnosed oral disease.
Three natural remedies for removing skin tags
(NaturalNews) Skin tags are small growths of skin that appear on

Can People Receiving Live Virus Vaccines Transmit Vaccine Strain
Virus to Others?
Dr. Mercola - Smallpox, for example, is transmitted via body
fluids. And, when you get a live attenuated smallpox vaccine,
which contains live attenuated vaccinia virus, you can develop
vaccinia virus (VACV or VV) strain infection, which you can then

polio vaccine (OPV).

Activist Post - Dr. William Thompson, Senior Scientist with the
Centers for Disease Control, publicly admitted in August 2014
that the CDC covered up data linking the MMR vaccine to Autism
in 1998. Since then, nothing at all has been done; children are
still lining up to play Russian Roulette with 'shots' of

above information is in the public domain, and yet NO ACTION AT
ALL has been taken to stop the forced maiming and possible
death. No standard waiver is available at all and medical
waivers are difficult and many times impossible to get. And,
politically, instead of a matter of policy, local health
departments have the final say.

Ebola in the United States? That's because they've been asked

that the mainstream media -- The Associated Press in particular
-- was asked to refrain from reporting on the suspected cases by
the Obama Administration.
