11 Psycho Killers And Their Paintings

(Joe Veix) For whatever reason, many of the world’s most notorious murderers take up painting. Usually it’s as a light hobby to pass the time while serving out life sentences, and as a means to indulge their massive egos in the twilight of their lives. This isn’t to suggest that all killers are struggling artists, or vice versa, but who who knows? Maybe that brooding, sensitive starving artist friend of yours is actually, deep on the inside, a secret coldblooded psycho killer. Below are 11 of the most prominent killer artists, and their frightening works. John Wayne Gacy An American … Continue reading 11 Psycho Killers And Their Paintings

The Devil and Philip Seymour Hoffman

by LOUIS PROYECT Most people probably had the same reaction to Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death by heroin overdose that they did to Heath Ledger’s on painkillers in the same kind of posh downtown neighborhood. Why would somebody earning millions of dollars and the adulation of countless fans ever become a drug addict, and as was the case with both superstars, an alcoholic as well? The dirty little secret of the acting profession is that many people attracted to it are compensating for deep feelings of inadequacy that no amount of money or fame can relieve. When I was an undergraduate … Continue reading The Devil and Philip Seymour Hoffman

Is Alcoholics Anonymous a Cult, or a Culture?

By Jennifer Matesa For every quasi-authoritarian 12-step meeting, I’ve gone to more than a dozen other more useful ones. This article first appeared on The Fix, with coverage on addiction and recovery, straight up. Sitting in an open AA meeting the other day, listening to a qualification from a guy whose story didn’t exactly resonate with me—was it what he was saying, or the macho way he was saying it? Or was it the over-definite generalizations about addiction he no doubt was repeating from generations of men who had come before him; the steroid-pumped catchphrases we’ve all heard a million … Continue reading Is Alcoholics Anonymous a Cult, or a Culture?

Michigan Activists Face Up to 2 Years in Prison for Protesting Oil Pipeline Behind 2010 Spill

On Friday, the protesters—Barbara Carter, Vicci Hamlin and Lisa Leggio—were found guilty of misdemeanor trespassing, as well as resisting and … Continue reading Michigan Activists Face Up to 2 Years in Prison for Protesting Oil Pipeline Behind 2010 Spill

An Insider’s Story Of The Global Attack On Climate Science

By Brother Elias This article explains how NZ tax payers will likely have to foot the bill for the antics of doubt mongers. via ars technica An epic saga of secretly funded climate denial and harassment of scientists. A recent headline—”Failed doubters trust leaves taxpayers six-figure loss“—marked the end of a four-year epic saga of secretly funded climate denial, the harassment of scientists, and a tying-up of valuable government resources in New Zealand.

But if you’re not a … Continue reading An Insider’s Story Of The Global Attack On Climate Science

SodaStream stock sinks, and Bloomberg cites ‘sanctions over Jewish settlements’

Annie Robbins On January 15 we reported SodaStream stocks had plunged that Monday morning after the announcement Johansson had signed on as the corporations global ambassador. However, we noted at that time there was “no mainstream investment media mention regarding the growing boycott against the corporation.” A week later we reported financial writers had been scrutinizing the stock and listed several mainstream sources noting the controversy over the location of SodaStream’s headquarters in the occupied West Bank– making its product “blood bubbles” at one cocktail party reported by New York Magazine’s Kat Stoeffel. And today– one day after SodaStream’s Superbowl … Continue reading SodaStream stock sinks, and Bloomberg cites ‘sanctions over Jewish settlements’

He got no reply, so he wrote to her again. And … Continue reading Why is Roger Waters in a fizz over Scarlett Johansson’s SodaStream ad?

The Military Industrial Sports Complex

by ZenGardner Whether football, basketball, baseball, soccer, the Olympics, it’s the perfect stage to feature the occult program of personal sacrifice to the fascist State of Control Well, it’s upon us again, and the world looks with anticipation to the big super display bowl, rife with military exercises of course. I’m not going to belabor the idiocy but wanted to say something, mainly the BS indoctrination they saturate the naive viewers with.

Privacy Versus Secrecy

Jeff Thomas The very idea that the individual has a natural-born right to his privacy and basic freedoms flies in the face of the collectivist ideal. Government is all about control. Every government, over time, increases its level of control over its population in every way it can. Given enough time, any government will nibble away at its people’s freedoms until it reaches the point that the people have so little freedom left that the government feels safe in taking the remaining freedoms in ever-larger gulps. Some nations are taking very large gulps indeed. One of the primary freedoms is … Continue reading Privacy Versus Secrecy

Is It Time to Leave America, While You Still Can?

Dave Hodges One prominent talk show host is telling his listeners to get out of the country because the Denver Post is reporting that there are 200,000 Russian troops in America. I have previously reported on government documents which demonstrate that FEMA reached a bilateral agreement with Russia to bring in 15,000 Russian troops. I also believe that there are Russian sleeper cells located throughout America based upon reports from Russian defectors and eyewitnesses such as Dr. Susan Helman of Gatlinburg, TN. But to leave the country based on the erroneous reports of a talk show host would be a … Continue reading Is It Time to Leave America, While You Still Can?
