Photo Illustration: R. A. Di Ieso Doctors worried that contaminated drugs may be to blame By Ed Cara A mysterious wave of people coming down with amnesia over the past four years has spooked public health experts in Massachusetts, as well as the Centers and Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

WATCH: How far away would you need to be to survive a nuclear blast?

It’s not just the radiation you’d need to worry about.   by FIONA MACDONALD It’s been more than 70 years since two nuclear bombs were detonated over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing at least 129,000 people, and causing devastating, long-term health effects. To date, those are the only instances of nuclear weapons being used for warfare, but the reality is there are almost 15,000 nuclear warheads remaining in the world today – and many of them are substantially bigger than the ones used during WWII. So, what would happen if nuclear war broke out tomorrow? Don’t panic … Continue reading WATCH: How far away would you need to be to survive a nuclear blast?

  While the lying media is freaking out over President Trump’s travel ban for seven Middle Eastern countries deemed security risks, they didn’t give a damn about Obama bombing them. by Chris Menahan,Information Liberation Though the media is currently in a tizzy because Trump’s executive order held up around 300 people at airports, Obama’s bombings were reported as completely reasonable to bring about peace.

HBO’s “Girls” Normalizes Ugliness, Sickness

(l. Lena Dunham)    Thanks to Cabalist Jewish (Satanic) control of mass media and education, western society resembles a satanic cult which controls and exploits  its members by making them sick.Consequently what passes for “art” and “entertainment” sentimentalizes and normalizes degradation and dysfunction.  The HBO series “Girls,” now entering its sixth and final season, is a prime example.    While superbly written and acted, periodically you have to shut your eyes and hold your nose. In a recent rerun, the lead character repeatedly pulls her underwear out of her bum, lances a boil on her ass and pierces an eardrum. Another character performs anal cunnilingus on … Continue reading HBO’s “Girls” Normalizes Ugliness, Sickness

WHY MUSLIM RAPISTS PREFER BLONDES: A HISTORY

Violent Islamic lust for British and Scandinavian girls goes right back to Muhammad. by Raymond Ibrahim Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center The Muslim penchant to target “white” women for sexual exploitation—an epidemic currently plaguing Europe, especially Britain and Scandinavia—is as old as Islam itself, and even traces back to Muhammad.

Shboul (author of “Byzantium and the Arabs: The Image of the Byzantines as Mirrored in … Continue reading WHY MUSLIM RAPISTS PREFER BLONDES: A HISTORY

A generation later, Dr. King cautioned in his piercing 1963 letter on justice and nonviolent resistance: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice … Continue reading Hannah Arendt on Jewishness, the Immigrant Plight for Identity, and the Meaning of “Refugee”

Watch This Insane First Person Scooter Video And Try Not To Crap Your Pants

by Tom McParland In countries where most people commute on scooters or motorcycles, traffic laws seem to be more of a suggestion than a rule. This scooter rider takes on a crazy first person ride that he calls “not that scary” and I almost had a heart attack.
