The Cost of Blood

Fernando Kaskais

When corporations run the government and any crime can be bought. BY CLAIRE NORTH The man whose name was sometimes Theo Miller had been twenty-two years old when they abolished human rights. The government insisted it was necessary to counter terrorism and bring stable leadership to the country. He’d voted for the opposition and felt very proud of himself, partially because he had a sense that this was the intangible right way of things, but mostly because it was the first time his new name had been tested at the polling station, and held up to scrutiny.

Fernando Kaskais

 by: Lance D Johnson (Natural News) European society is being flooded by migrants from North Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East. In 2015, over a million migrants made their way illegally into Europe, traveling by land and sea. Migrants from war-torn countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria are taking advantage of open border policies in Europe. Citizens from Germany, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, Cyprus, and Spain are losing their cultural heritageas their communities are forced to accommodate any and all migrants.

(AFP/VALERIE MACON/Getty Images)  by NED DYMOKE After comedian Roseanne Barr described former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett in racist terms on Twitter, ABC swiftly cancelled her sitcom, a revival of her popular 1980s show. Jarrett  has described Roseanne’s tweet as a teachable moment about race in America. Roseanne’s “defense” — if you could call it that — was to blame the racist tirade on Ambien. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Ambien in and of itself doesn’t make you racist. The drug … Continue reading Can Ambien make you racist?
