Mike Pompeo’s Latest Rant Demonstrates That the CIA is Far More Unreasonable Than North Korea

North Korea has attempted to engage in dialogue with US allies, while Donald Trump’s CIA director threatens an illegal assassination against the North Korean leader.

Most all of what you are being told about North Korea is a lie IMHO.
Besides this article Michael Rivero has done a good job of getting the facts out on his radio show What Really Happened” that is archived here.

The question as to whether the DPRK is willing to engage in broad dialogue with potential international partners, has been answered. Last week, the DPRK sent an open letter to multiple governments, including the US ally, Australia, in which Pyongyang asked to form a united front against Donald Trump’s aggressive stance towards Pyongyang. Australia, in taking an overly literal reading of North Korea’s letter, threw away a chance to reply to Pyongyang. Had Australia engaged with Pyongyang, this would have literally been the beginning of dialogue between North Korea and a stanch US ally in the Pacific. The short-sighted attitude of the Canberra, demonstrates that when North Korea does reach out to countries in an unexpected way, this attempt to establish lines of dialogue is essentially met with a cynical and obstinate attitude that doesn’t get anyone anywhere. Dialogue is never easy in such situations, but all countries owe it to the wider cause of world peace to try. Australia foolishly read North Korea’s letter as a kind of ‘geo-political prank’, where in fact it was a thorny olive branch.

While North Korea has recently stated that they will not negotiate its nuclear programme until Pyongyang possesses the ability to strike all of the US mainland with nuclear missiles, the reality behind such dramatic remarks is far more mundane.

All negotiations in difficult situations have a cat and mouse element to them, with the roles of feline and rodent, often swapping by the day, if not by the hour. North Korea’s actions are often far more reasonable than their words. The fact that the DPRK did reach out to a US ally, demonstrates that they are ready for dialogue now. The fault here, therefore lies with those who refused to respond….. Read More

Imagine If U.S. Healthcare Had a Truly Free Market

There is no American who is ignorant of the fact that healthcare costs are currently exorbitant and prohibitive. We are collectively faced with the false narrative that healthcare is an inherently expensive endeavor, and thus people are either doomed to face bankruptcy in any free market, or the government must save us all with a single-payer model. Leftists posit that prior to the presidency of Obama, America suffered under a free market failure, and that people were too often bankrupted by unforeseen accidents and disease. They insist that the problem with Obamacare is that it did not do enough, and that affordable care remains impossible because the government did not remove the profit motive from medicine altogether. They say that we can only solve the affordability problem by demanding that our government save us from the real problem, which we are assured is greed.

Within these arguments are multiple layers of intellectual dishonesty which should be addressed. Foremost amongst the fallacies is a contention that healthcare is expensive by its very nature, whereas in actuality, healthcare has been arbitrarily made expensive. At Health Wyze, we spend the bulk of our time discussing better alternatives for the treatment of chronic diseases, but for the purpose of this essay, we shall pretend that allopathic (orthodox) medicine is the only medicine, in order to avoid unnecessary complexity…..

10 years later, school still sugar free and proud

This is  still a horrible diet other than the sugar being removed, and look at the fantastic improvements!  What do you think would happen if they further improved their diets.

If you want my detailed thoughts on what is still wrong with their much improved diets, start the ball rolling in the comments…..

(CNN) — The children in the cafeteria drink low-fat milk, shovel corn kernels on their sporks and munch on tuna sandwiches on wheat.

One of the most requested vegetables at Brown Mills Elementary School is broccoli, according to its principal.

For dessert? Peaches.

There are no bake sales here, no birthday cupcakes, no cookies or ice cream. Don’t even think about bringing sugar to Browns Mill Elementary School.

As schools around the country have begun removing soda and junk food from their premises, the elementary school in Lithonia, Georgia, was ahead of the curve, cutting out sugar 10 years ago under the watch of principal Dr. Yvonne Sanders-Butler.

North Dakota Hemp Growers Bitten By Drought and Market Controls

I take issue with the “Anti-Trust” laws. They are illegitimate, as they do not address the  malfeasance.  The government does   not want to shine light on the fact that it is the government themselves that are  catering to special interests, and thus tilting the level playing field of the free  market to favor some and harm others.   The only other explanation other than a tilted playing field is that a company excels, and attracts it’s high market share legitimately  

There is a 3rd possibility… that is the company is breaking a legitimate law  to get a high level of market share. If this is so then just prosecute them. End of story. Why the hell do you need these nebulous rights trampling antitrust laws?  Unless justice is not your real goal.

Either way the anti-trust laws either trample the rights of a company  that has succeeded legitimately. Or they trample a company for taking advantage of laws that congress has written.    Neither case looks like justice. It looks more like government distracting us from what they mainly do:  They criminally create ways for special interests to  have an advantage  over the competition.
Then they call it anti-trust and blame any corporation that is very successful regardless of the reason why.

The only criminals that I see in the picture are congress critters.  Not corporations.

If you will go and read the entire article on the site, you will have a pretty thorough idea of why the regulatory processes kill entrepreneurs and small business in general. It goes well beyond the issue of cannabis and carries over to nearly every endeavor known to man.

Here’s the thing, the ONLY legitimate function of government is to protect your rights. This does indeed include when another person or entity is impeding your rights. You have the right to profit from your labor. Otherwise, there is no reason to engage in labor. There are legitimate laws that have been passed and are never enforced against monopolies and too heavy of consolidation in sectors of the economy. The consolidation laws are anti-trust/anti-competition laws. Those are not enforced….Grr.

They Are Coming For Our Guns

Predictably, in the aftermath of the Las Vegas shootings (which I am convinced was another government false flag involving multiple shooters) the U.S. Congress is taking aim at our guns. Specifically, at least 16 gun control bills have been filed in Congress since the Vegas shootings. Montana Shooting Sports Association (MSSA) President Gary Marbut recently sent out this summary of current gun control bills in the U.S. House and Senate.

U.S. House

HR 3947 – Bans parts and accessories that increase the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm

HR 3962 – Bans online sales of ammunition

BOMBSHELL: Flu shots scientifically proven to weaken immune response in subsequent years… researchers stunned

 

BOMBSHELL: Flu shots scientifically proven to weaken immune response in subsequent years… researchers stunned

 

(Natural News) A medical study conducted at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center found that women who received flu vaccines had a weakened immune system response in subsequent years.

Lisa Christian, PhD, the lead researcher on the study, concluded, “Growing evidence shows that those who received a flu shot in the prior year have lower antibody responses in the current year.”

The study proves yet again that the official narrative of the flu shot industry — and its complicit corporate-run media — is false and deliberately deceptive. Far from offering bulletproof protection, flu shots actually make people more vulnerable to influenza infections, which of course contributes to more people catching the flu and then falsely thinking they need more flu shots for “more protection.”

Yet it is the flu shots themselves that are leading to an increase in influenza infections. The flu vaccine, in other words, perpetuates the myth that flu vaccines are needed by ensuring influenza spreads more rapidly than would otherwise occur. In effect, flu vaccines spread the very infections that generate more demand for flu vaccines. The structure is a “perfect” self-perpetuating medical hoax rooted in fake science and relentless media propaganda.

In my news video below, you’ll also learn:

  • People who had a 2008 flu shot experienced a 250% increase in influenza infections in subsequent years.
  • A study published in Human & Environmental Toxicology found that mercury-laced flu vaccines caused a 4,250 percent increase in fetal deaths during the 2009 flu season.
  • The flu shot narrative pushed by the vaccine industry is a medical hoax that’s easily disproved by fact-based evidence.
  • People who get flu shots will be the first to die in an actual global pandemic because they have been made vulnerable to infections.
