A coalition of experts and politicians in the United Kingdom are warning that the meat industry will gain the murderous reputation of the tobacco industry if it doesn’t stop adding cancer-causing nitrites to meats like bacon and ham.
According to food scientist Professor Chris Elliott, and cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the coalition has reached a “consensus of scientific opinion” that nitrites, used to cure meat, produce carcinogens called nitrosamines when ingested.
Nitrites are the chemicals that give processed meats their pink color.

Enslavement by the Enlightened in Revolutionary Times
In 1789, the year of the French Revolution, Saint Domingue, now Haiti, was the world’s richest colony. The source of this wealth was the exploitation of half a million black slaves who furnished the labor for the sugar, indigo, cotton, cocoa, coffee, and tobacco extracted from over 2,000 plantations.
Sputnik – December 31, 2018 Israel’s ambassador to Britain, Shlomo Argov, was shot and mortally wounded in 1982, giving Menachem Begin’s government the excuse needed to invade Lebanon and drive the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) out of Beirut. The UK National Archives has refused a request by a Sputnik reporter — made under the Freedom of Information Act — to reveal […]
Following the death of a 4 year old child in Gaza, at the hands of Israeli snipers, not one mainstream corporate media organization bothered to go and interview the family and find out what happened, in fact, most didn’t cover the story at all.
Linked below is an exclusive interview, from the Gaza Strip, with the family of the four year old victim of Israeli sniper fire.
2018 was a slog, and the more I mention this to friends, the more I realize a lot of other people feel the same way. It wasn't a bad or terrible year for us, but at the same time nothing came easy. Anything we tried to accomplish came with all sorts of unexpected pitfalls and hurdles, and in many cases success seemed hopeless until the very last moment when things finally came together reasonably well. Stuff that had to get done got done, but not without struggle and headache.
We can set our intentions to ask more beautiful questions and notice how the unseen drives the seen. As we do, we will gain the courage and faith to trust the miraculous market to draw from the spiritual realm beautiful answers that help human beings thrive.

In 2012 Will Oremus asked if Jesus was a homophobe and concluded he wasn't" "While it’s reasonable to assume that Jesus and his fellow Jews in first-century Palestine would have disapproved of gay sex, there is no record of his ever having mentioned homosexuality, let alone expressed particular revulsion about it...
The Russian S-400 anti ballistic missile defense system is reputedly the most advanced on the planet at this time. Put against the American-made Patriot system, the Russian S-400 Triumf system offers both longer and shorter range intercept capabilities (both very important!) and it is one of the recent Russian-made weapons systems that shows a great deal of sophistication.
Text and photos: Andre Vltchek How low can a country governed by an unbridled greed, a notorious lack of morals and ubiquitous servility to its neo-colonialist masters, really sink? And how can people tolerate lies, the naked cynicism and fanatical incompetence of the rulers? Can the regime in Indonesia, which was created in 1965, and then nurtured by the West,[Read More...]
The Trump tweet kicked off quite the psyop. That's really clear and can and should be understood! All sorts of claims have been made these past few days to shore up the lie of withdrawal including lots of disinfo surrounding the situation in Manbij.
Lost in all the disinfo was the fact that Turkish media leaked the presence and expansion of French occupation bases in northern Syria
Since the publication of National Security Cinema last summer, we have seen an uptick in the media coverage of the Pentagon in Hollywood, much of it originating with the Pentagon itself. This week I take a look at the PR efforts the DOD has embarked upon, about its own PR efforts in Hollywood. From Captain Marvel to Gerard Butler, this is a reflection on the power of exposing information.(Read more...)

As a dream that finally[Read More...]
2018 is on its last breath and I, for one, will not shed a tear. In fact I hope that such a year will never be repeated. Not for us Palestinians. Not for any oppressed people of the world. Nor even for the people of my adopted country, England, who are grappling with the toxic effect of the Brexit debacle.[Read More...]

As we head into 2019, leaving the chaos of this year behind, a major question remains unanswered when it comes to the state of Main Street, not just here but across the planet. If the global economy really is booming, why are leaders and their parties around the world continuing to get booted out of office in such a sweeping fashion?
Paul Whelan, a US citizen apparently living in Moscow, was detained on December 28 by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). He is presently being held under suspicion of spying, according to a statement from the FSB.
There is very little information being released about this situation. TASS reported:
Ukraine downed MH17 Malaysian airliner in 2014. Conclusive evidence is suppressed by Western media blatant misrepresentations in sanctions on Russia.

Chinese industrial profits have dropped for the first time in three years, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The NBS also said that the manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), its survey tracking the health of some 3,000 large and state-owned companies, fell to 49.4 per cent in December.
The reading is below the neutral 50-point level, signalling a contraction in the manufacturing sector.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the shady and secretive UK propaganda outfits dubbed ‘The Integrity Initiative’ and ‘the Institute for Statecraft’, which have been working underground and out fo sight, to smear Jeremy Corbyn and spread anti-Russian, pro-war propaganda through an massive “network of networks” consisting of journalists, politicians and society influencers.
