Allegedly – a Global Epidemic of Ebola has broken out. MSF and Doctors without Borders have had their share of controversies over the decades. They are always in the middle of major conflicts, with “Diplomatic Immunity”. They are directly plugged in to the UN World Health Organisation, and connected to Israel via earliest director Rony Brauman.

The DSCC preview of the electoral cycle that they hand out to big contributors is as upbeat as they can make it. In the section on South Dakota, where Democrat Tim Johnson is retiring, the DSCC asserts that "Democrats and the DSCC are committed to holding Senator Johnson's seat next year and will devote all the resources necessary to elect a new Democratic senator in South Dakota.
Sunday, and of course time for my weekly rant where I rip the MSM, and all of the so called "news" to shreds…First things first… The "disappearance" of Malaysian flight MH370 that is still not "solved" almost a month since that aircraft took off from Kuala Lumpur on April 8th on a scheduled flight to Beijing, China, and shortly afterwards vanished…..

It's probably too late to see New York-based Walking Shapes at Acerogami tonight in Pomona. I caught them a couple nights ago at the Satellite in Silverlake, practically walking distance from my house. And they'll be back in L.A. (at Bardot) on Monday-- after a gig at the Brick & Mortar in San Franscico Sunday night. If exquisitely-played, cutting edge, indie-rock is your cup of tea, this band is worth seeing.
At least 72 people were killed and 82 more were wounded. The violence was heavy across Anbar today
The mystery behind Malaysian flight MH370's disappearance continues… The last few days there have been many more erroneous reports of "debris" being found in the Indian Ocean, but when these reports have been investigated, the debris has been proven again and again to be false or no debris at all… Now almost one month since this flight went "missing" there still is nothing coming from the Jewish run criminal media liars other than false leads… They still continue to avoid the obvious answer that the plane was commandeered by criminal elements within our own governments and purposely flown t
Oh no, Cuckoo Ken's feelings were hurt?by KenAm I the only one not to have noticed that the political concession speech is going the way of Judge Crater?At least I have an excuse. Although there was a time in my life, a really long time, when I was an Election Night junkie, just couldn't get enough, in recent years -- no doubt in response to too many nights of emotional devastation -- I adopted a new strategy for Election Night: something close to a boycott.
I am writing about the Bankers who are driving 7 billion people off a cliff towards the certain destruction of our economic life. Money is a difficult subject to understand but I think it is worth the effort if it prevents Wall Street and the City of London from starving half a billion people to death and risking World War III for the rest of us.

In an extended musical interview, Andy Jennings, lead singer and lyricist of the amazing indie rock band Dissident Prophet, joins us for an exploration of the band's music, lyrics and vision, and to share with us his how his search for truth led him to the greatest Truth of all - Jesus Christ. "Pay no attention to all the connections. Don't join all the dots... too many to mention. Don't follow the money. Eat what you're fed.

The chaos in Ukraine can be viewed, in part, as what happens when a collection of “oligarchs” – sometimes competing, sometime collaborating – take control of a society, buying most of the politicians and owning the media. The political/media classes become corrupted by serving their wealthy patrons and society breaks down into warring factions.

Last night, in her brilliant essay on the political dilemma facing the Republican Party over immigration reform (above), Rachel Maddow never mentioned California GOP congressman Jeff Denham, who represents the 10th congressional district, part for the Central Valley, including Modesto, Manteca and Tracy. The backward-looking Cook Report still claims the district has a PVI of R+1, even though President Obama's 50-48% win over McCain in 2008 grew to a 51-47% win over Romney in 2012.
With the purported alternative media platform, Next News Network, giving so much coverage to World Bank whistleblower Karen Hudes lately (see here, here, here and here), I decided it was time to cast some light on the radical Zionist beliefs of the founder of the network, Gary Franchi, in order to understand why he may […]

Admittedly inspired by the Milgram Experiment, Veronica Roth's 'Divergent' is making easy money at the box office - but do the bad reviews show that youth are rejecting this latest batch of predictive programming?
The definition of torture has been in some dispute since ancient times. Julius Caesar had the Illyrian pirates who kidnapped him executed before they were crucified. "Caesar is merciful," he supposedly said, "you did not torture me and I will not torture you." But the erstwhile conqueror of Gaul’s abductors didn’t see it that way. […]
