Sandy Hook Fraud Exposer, Wolfgang Halbig, Threatened AGAIN By Florida Law "Enforcement" (What Are The Criminals Afraid Of?)

Northerntruthseeker at Northerntruthseeker - 2 hours ago
Last week, I posted a fabulous audio link to a very important interview conducted between Dave Gahary, of American Free Press, and Wolfgang Halbig, school security expert and former law enforcement officer, about exposing the truth about the Sandy Hook operation and hoax. Wolfgang Halbig brought forward some very damaging evidence that clearly shows that the entire "official story" behind Sandy Hook was a complete lie. It does seem that Wolfgang Halbig has touched a few "nerves" concerning his allegations that Sandy Hook was a complete fraud and that NOBODY DIED in that operation.... more »

“The Psychological Mistakes People Make That Lead to Misery”

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 3 hours ago
*“The Psychological Mistakes People Make That Lead to Misery”* By Jonathan Rottenberg “The puzzling reality is that human depression is increasing in an era when environmental conditions are relatively benign. The average citizen in Western society now lives longer, is less likely to starve, and enjoys considerably greater wealth than his sixteenth-century counterpart. Presumably these objective conditions for survival and reproduction would cause depression rates to fall, not rise to nearly one in five citizens. This environment-depression disconnect seems less strange when we app... more »

New Clues in Suicide of JP Morgan Banker Add to Mystery - As many will recall , there have been a rash of mysterious deaths including alleged suicides that have erupted since the end of Janaury - just as numerous commodity and forex exchange trading / fixing investigations have become quite serious. Dennis Li Junjie plunged to his death from the high rise building where he work , becoming the third JP Morgan employee to die under strange circumstances in barely 3 weeks ! But why kill oneself over alleged work stress if you were planning to leave Hong Kong and return to Canada ? Friends were not aware of any unusual issues , so this one becomes another oddity ! What did Dennis learn or what was he told before the fatal leap ? And why the silent treatment from JP Morgan --- A Third Death at JPMorgan and Another Press Lockout on Information ..... any coincidence that these odd deaths all occurred involving employees working in JP Morgan's major markets of New York , London and Hong Kong ?

Published in the Wall Street Journal, February 21. Response to: "A progressive education" (Editorial, Feb. 14) Your editorial sends the message that our public schools are failing. They aren't. When researchers control for the effects of poverty, American schools rank near the top of the world. Our overall scores are unspectacular because the child poverty rate in the U.S. is very high, 23%, second-highest among all economically advanced countries.

This year’s annual *Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show* was held over President’s Day weekend, and as the weather was particularly fine (as it is ordained to be!), I decided to walk across the drawbridge over Lake Worth to the Convention Center.

*FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2014* *Part 4—After the gunman appeared:* On Tuesday, May 11, 1999, Chris Matthews engaged in heinous misconduct on his cable “news” program.

A message confirming that I could attend the Liberal Party of Canada convention as an accredited blogger arrived without fanfare in my email box a few weeks ago. This is the program.

The billions of ready cash from No Child Left Behind provided a dollar-powered incubator for the birth of the modern day education industry.

Over the last several weeks I have been looking into the RB-47 UFO sighting from July 17, 1947. It is an interesting case with the possibility of multiple chains of evidence but that is a discussion for another time. Right now I’m more interested in the problem of original sources. Let me explain. I thought that I would see what Richard Dolan had to say about the case and was a little surprised that he devoted only about a half page to it.

Bruce K. Gagnon at Organizing Notes - 14 hours ago
In Venezuela the CIA is funding and directing protests against that government - a government the US corporate oligarchy has long wanted to take down. It's about the oil in Venezuela. Not all protests are truly on the mark. Some protests, like in Venezuela, are doing the work of the corporate elite. It helps us to know the back-story. The *Democracy Now* video just below about Ukraine tells a similar tale about the street protests there. It might look like the Occupy movement in one sense - but in the real world a significant part of the street violence is coming from long-st... more »

What was missing was the cries of the seabirds which, on all previous similar voyages, had surrounded the boat. The birds were missing because the fish were missing.

UHC 23: Orthopedic Hospital Corporatization, Not Privatization

There have been a number of political noise about the corporatization and modernization of the Philippine Orthopedic Center (POC). Many groups are opposing its “privatization” with lots of street rallies and the petitioners going to the Supreme Court opposing the said “privatization.” This is a typical disease of confusing and equating corporatization as privatization. The former means the government will just create a board relatively (but not fully) independent of Malacanang and Congress, with private sector presence in the board as they will inject their own money.

Tweens - older kids who are not yet teens - are among my favourite library customers. Tween books are my favourites to read, and a tween audience is my most natural writing voice. Sadly, tweens are often underserved at libraries. Library programming often focuses on either pre-school kids or youth, usually defined as ages 12 and up. The 8-12 group is too old for baby stuff, but usually too young for the real teen scene. And libraries are often desperate for tween programming ideas. To that end, two librarians from the Oshawa (Ontario) Public Library, Brianne Wilkins-Bester and Tiff... more »
