The Real Scandal Is the EPA’s Diesel Policy, Not Volkswagen
You’ve probably heard about the Volkswagen emissions scandal. The official story is that engineers at VW faked emissions test results to meet EPA requirements. VW made it appear as though its diesel engines produced fewer pollutants while being tested than they actually produce on the road. When independent testers identified the issue, VW was forced to fix 11 million vehicles, and pay over $7 billion in fines, refits, and buy-backs. This much is true.
However, that’s not the full story. VW cheated because the EPA introduced an ultra-stringent emissions standard with the expectation that automakers would invent compatible technology. VW engineers faced intense pressure to invent suitable technology before the deadline…… Read More

FREE GMOs Revealed Docuseries Seeks to Educate Public on Toxic Food System – World Experts Interviewed
GLOBAL LEADERS IN THE FIELDS OF MEDICINE, LAW, AGRICULTURE, AND POLITICS SHARE THEIR UNIQUE EXPERTISE AS THEY DESCRIBE THE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BACTERIA, SOIL, AND YOUR BODY IN THIS FREE 9-PART DOCUMENTARY SERIES.
The Mission Behind GMOs Revealed
No genetically modified crops were grown in the U.S. as recently as 1980. However, in 2007, 142 million acres were planted. Worldwide, the total was 282 million acres.
Imagine what it is today?
When the global food supply is contaminated, it impacts everyone. There is evidence to suggest that GMOs pose a serious, irreversible and unprecedented threat to humanity with catastrophic, and long-term effects.
Would you contaminate your child’s food with potentially harmful chemicals?
Of course not!
You diligently protect your family from any toxic substances by locking harmful chemicals and dangerous products out of reach.
But… what if the toxins secretly slip onto your plate, right under your nose… looking like any other food?
One of the biggest environmental disasters of humankind is the poison that is leeching into our food supply.
What’s more, the poison comes from glyphosate… the chemical in Roundup.
GMOs Revealed exposes the toxic, vicious and constant cycle between glyphosate and “Roundup resistant” engineered crops designed to survive large doses of the chemical that kills plants on contact!
FACT: The glyphosate levels in some EPA approved foods contain 400 times the amount known to cause damage.
Don’t you deserve to know what is in the food you feed your family?
GMOs Revealed shares the real, untold, shocking truth behind genetically engineered foods and the chemicals in them.
Not only that, Glyphosate may just be the tip of the dangerous GMO iceberg.
FACT: More GMOs means more chemical use. Many GMO crops are engineered to resist certain weed killers, the weeds and insects eventually evolve to be resistant to those chemicals… leading to more harsher chemicals being used.
Our mission is to break through the silence and bring vital information to every household, so you can choose what goes on your plate.
FACT: Monsanto is the largest seed company in the world and owns over 90% of all genetically engineered seeds in the U.S. In addition, Monsanto is the manufacturer of Roundup, which is the trade name for glyphosate.
We want to bring you the facts, but Monsanto would rather keep the real reports on how their products affect your food, your health and the environment away from you….. Read More

A total eclipse of SANITY: America under the spell of mass hysteria engineered by a dangerous, globalist-controlled media
The total eclipse of sanity is now under way across America. Mass hysteria has gripped the minds of the gullible, many of whom now hallucinate their “reality” on a moment-by-moment basis.
Before the Charlottesville violence, the entire Left of America was hallucinating Russians behind every corner. Now, they’re hallucinating Neo-Nazis everywhere they look. This isn’t hyperbole, either: The hysterical Left is quite literally hallucinating almost everything they now believe: That all Trump supporters are Hitler-saluting Nazis; that all White people are racists; that America is still a slave-ownership nation; that Civil War statues might come to life and put them all back in chains, and other absurdities.
Never in the history of our country have so many people been brainwashed to believes such obvious absurdities and lies. That’s because never before in our nation’s history has the globalist-run fake news media been so determined to undermine America and everything it stands for. The goal of the twisted, anti-America media as it operates today is to indoctrinate the masses with ginned-up hatred, intolerance and violence so that the nation can be thrust into a civil war from which radical Marxism, communism and Left-wing totalitarianism can sweep into power…………….

School Is Not “the Real World”
It’s the depressing time of year again in which young people are ported off to school again. This brings to mind some of the conversations I’ve had with students and teachers on summertime, the “real world” and school.
School Is Not “the Real World”
First, if you are one of those school-goers who believes that returning to a world of desks and periods and busywork paperwork and bell-regulated life is a “return to the real world,” I don’t know what to say to you. I can only say that summer – especially if you spent it exploring, playing, learning, and building – is a far better reflection of a real world (and one worth having).
The real world does not reward regimentations, and it does not reward good grades. Only if you choose to remain in academia forever can a break from school be anything but an improvement on your relationship to a “real world” where you can grow into your own person. Allow yourself that break from artificiality. Don’t shame it as some “guilty pleasure” or indulgence granted by school admins…… Read More
Here is a favorite of mine about “government schools”:
A Prison By Any Other Name (SCHOOL BRAINWASHING SYSTEM, BEHAVIOR CONTROL
*** How many Americans understand the fact that our schools were copied from the admitted Austrian state brainwashing, schools from the 1870’s?

“Back to School” Is Not Inevitable
The New York Times article on “6 Things Parents Should Know About Sending Kids Back To School” begins:
Surely there are some kids who are eager for school to start, but I have not met them. My 9-year-old and 5-year-old daughters have little interest now in trading day trips to the beach and family movie nights for an unfamiliar classroom and nightly homework.”
So don’t make them.
Our culture treats schooling as if it’s inevitable. Like death and taxes, it’s a necessary evil. Even if we know kids don’t want to return to school – are dragging their heels or are downright obstinate – we laugh it off. Everyone knows school stinks. You just have to hold your nose and jump.
For many progressive reformers, dating back to the days of John Dewey, the key is just to make schooling gentler. Spruce it up a bit, make it more engaging and relevant, paint the classroom walls a prettier color. Then it will be ok.
I don’t buy it. You can add curtains to the jail cells but it’s no less a prison…… Read More

Is Google Working with Liberal Groups to Snuff Out Conservative Websites?
Google revealed in a blog post that it is now using machine learning to document “hate crimes and events” in America. They’ve partnered with liberal groups like ProPublica, BuzzFeed News, and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to make information about “hate events” easily accessible to journalists. And now, there are troubling signs that this tool could be used to ferret out writers and websites that run afoul of the progressive orthodoxy…… Read More
Cannabis and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Throughout its prohibition, cannabis has been considered a self-medicated “coping” drug, especially in individuals with anxiety disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Government funded studies examining the link between cannabis and PTSD frequently use the term “marijuana abuse disorder,” a co-occurring problem in need of rehabilitation.
There is overwhelming evidence that PTSD and cannabis go hand-in-hand. But while most studies point out the prevalence of marijuana abuse among PTSD patients, a minority of emerging research is looking at the question in reverse: could cannabis be effectively treating PTSD?
Living with PTSD
PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is an anxiety condition caused by disturbing episodes, such as military combat or sexual assault. Three classes of symptoms characterize PTSD: re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyper arousal (e.g., flashbacks, social isolation, insomnia). The persistence of PTSD over time is attributed to changes in brain chemistry that occur at the time of the trauma, when adrenaline and stress hormones are hyper-responsive.
Since age nine, Ben Nichols has experienced debilitating PTSD symptoms, and with it came a tangle of other issues like insomnia and ADD. Ben takes Adderall to help with concentration difficulties caused by PTSD, but turns to cannabis to treat the anxiety…….. Read More
