“Cactus Dome” – Global Warming Causing Radioactive Material to Leak into Pacific Ocean from Marshall Islands

“Cactus Dome” – Global Warming Causing Radioactive Material to Leak into Pacific Ocean from Marshall Islands

Posted by | Jul 6, 2015 | |

Half a decade after the Fukishima disaster, yet another radioactive threat is raising its ugly head in the Pacific. It is the result of a dozen years of nuclear tests following the Second World War, now intersecting with rising sea levels due to global climate change. You may never have heard of “Cactus Dome,” but chances are you know the name “Bikini.” It lives on in the name of a skimpy, two-piece bathing suit for women, first popularized in the late 1940s. Bikini Atoll, part of the Marshall Islands, was the site of the first nuclear tests after the...

Why is Bernie Sanders Catching Fire with Voters, and Hillary’s Lead Shrinking?

Why is Bernie Sanders Catching Fire with Voters, and Hillary’s Lead Shrinking?

Posted by | Jul 5, 2015 | |

Bernie Sanders is definitely a political outsider. A self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, he has literally come out of left field and now trails front-running Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by mere single digits, according to polls. Even mainstream corporate media can no longer ignore the huge crowds Sanders draws. Of course, that media acknowledgment is grudgingly: CNN suggests Sanders’ crowds consist of “curiosity seekers” rather than supporters, and warns that his run could “backfire and create deep divisions inside the Democratic Party that [Clinton] is far more likely to lead.” Clinton claims she’s not concerned. But it is interesting that her...

Tennessee Politician Plots Muslim Massacre, Yet Federal Judge Refuses to Jail Him

A few months ago, right-wing Tennessee politician and paranoiac Robert Doggart made plans to attack and wipe out a Muslim community in upstate New York. Yet, despite overwhelming evidence as well as Doggart’s own admission, Judge Curtis Collier doesn’t consider him a “threat.” Doggart was fixated on the small enclave of Islamberg, located just outside of Hancock. He shared his plans with collaborators and potential recruits outside the state over the telephone and through social media. His phone was tapped; federal agents have records of his conversations. One of his statements: “Those guys [have] to be killed. Their buildings need...

The do nothing DOJ; Prison for steroids and Free pass for Wall Street THUGS

Posted by | Jul 5, 2015 | |

In 2007, former Olympic athlete Marion Jones entered a plea of “guilty” to charges that she illegally used performance-enhancing drugs. She was sentenced to six months in a federal corrections facility.  Meanwhile, of the dozens of Wall Street “banksters” who have stolen billions from all of us, only a small handful have ever done prison time. The most infamous example is Bernie Madoff, who is currently serving a life sentence. Madoff’s mistake is that he stole from the rich (his victims included several prominent celebrities). As for the rest of these people (corporate as well as natural) – they...

Women Disappearing From The Workplace – And Then Reappearing

Women Disappearing From The Workplace – And Then Reappearing

Posted by | Jul 4, 2015 | |

This past week, the mainstream media reported unemployment is down. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, it’s at 5.3% – the lowest since 2008 when Wall Street nearly brought down the global economy with its antics. Companies hired around 223,000 workers in June. It sounds like great news – but it’s not telling the whole story. And it’s not good news for everyone. The major reason the unemployment rate is down is because many have simply dropped out of the workforce. They’ve either given up looking for work, or – in the case of many women – have...
