'Particularly now that wireless communications are so closely integrated into our daily lives, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are all around us.

Our cities, especially the larger ones, are perpetually shrouded in an invisible electrosmog, a ‘sea’ of EMFs through which we swim every day. But does this momentous development in civilisation come with health effects – and if so, can we do anything to reduce them?'

'The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it is the "leading edge" of drone deployment in the United States. Since 2005, DHS has been purchasing Predator drones - officially called unmanned aerial systems (UAS) - to "secure the border," yet these unarmed Predator drones are also steadily creeping into local law enforcement, international drug-interdiction and national security missions - including across the border into the heart of Mexico.

DHS will likely double its drone contingent to two dozen unmanned UAS produced by General Atomics as part of the border security component of any immigration reform. The prominence of border security in immigration reform can't be missed. The leading reform proposal, offered by eight US senators, is the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 - which proposes to spend $6.5 billion in additional "border security" measures, mostly high-tech surveillance by drones and ground surveillance systems.'

'The 13-year-old Qaryut boy attacked by settlers on 16 May completed an operation on his lower leg and foot on Friday and has since been released to recover at home. He also provided a full account of his attack and the time he spent in an Israeli jeep untreated and tortured for information he neither had nor could speak of due to the pain from his untreated injury.

The boy said he was alone on his land near the illegal settlement of Eli when he was attacked. His friend was coming to join him when settlers began shooting at the boy. He ran, but fell from a big drop in the land, being on the mountainside. Settlers pursued him but he dragged himself on his stomach by some bushes. He was in great pain but kept quiet, afraid of settlers or soldiers finding him and continuing to attack him. After some time, his phone rang when his sister and friend called him. The soldiers then found and descended on him, threatening him with their guns while he lay, unable to move, on the ground.'

'Inside a long corridor less than two meters wide, a dim ray of light sneaks through a small opening at the top of the basement where a border tunnel begins. A Palestinian child named Mohammad enters the tunnel in Gaza and walks thousands of meters in the dark to the other end, in Egypt.

Dozens of Gaza's children repeatedly pass through these "crossings of death" — the tunnels separating the border between Egyptian Rafah and Palestinian Rafah. They do so because they are poor. They do so despite the danger that the tunnels might collapse. Lately, Egyptian security forces have been flooding the tunnels with sewage.

The tunnels are a way for the people of Gaza to get essentials, which are being otherwise prevented from reaching them by Israel’s seven-year-old blockade. According to local estimates, it is believed that 10,000 people work in the tunnel business.'

'Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has drawn parallels between the policies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Nazi invasion of his country in 1944 during the course of the Second World War.

“The Germans have already sent cavalry to Hungary - they came in form of tanks. Our request is that they don't send any. It didn't work out,' Orban told state broadcaster Kossuth Radio.

The Hungarian leader’s comments came after Merkel said last week that she "would do everything to put Hungary in the right direction, but we won't be sending in the cavalry straight away."

'The military said in a Tuesday statement that the gunfire from Damascus damaged a military vehicle without causing any injuries.

'A massive tornado has ripped through part of the Central US state of Oklahoma, near its Oklahoma City capital, killing 91 so far, including many elementary school children, and leaving a trail of devastation with winds of up to 200 miles (320 km) per hour.

The killer tornado struck the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore Monday afternoon, flattening homes, two schools and a hospital, leaving at least 120 injured with numerous people reported missing.  According to the National Weather Service, the dangerous storm system remains a threat to as many as 10 more US states as more twisters are expected to emerge from it.'

'The deployment came after a video released by the kidnappers, showing seven abductees taken hostage since last week, asking Morsi and Defense Minister Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to meet the demands of the abductors.

According to security officials, abductors demanded earlier the release of political prisoners, among whom Hamada Abou Sheita, who is sentenced to death over a deadly attack on a police station in North Sinai in 2011.

The Egyptian president rejected any talks with “criminals” at a Sunday meeting with heads of several political parties, saying, “We won't be subjected to blackmailing."'

Croatia RIP. Cause of Death: Suicide

'Britain has given the greenlight to Croatia to join the European Union after years of intensive talks by ratifying the country’s accession treaty to the bloc. British Foreign Office said London has sent the ratification documents to the Italian government’s depositary authority for the Treaty of Rome.

The ratification, ahead of Croatian President Ivo Josipovic's visit to Britain later this week, means Croatia will become the 28th EU members from July 1, 2013 if other EU members also deposit their ratification documents with the Italian authority before that date.'

When asked which book she would take were she to be an isolated castaway, the author of The Color Purple chose Icke’s Human Race Get Off Your Knees.

But, of course, Alice, a brilliant author, poet and activist, is suddenly 'bizarre' and 'weird' the moment she is in any way complimentary about me. Yawn, yawn. If media people like Liam O'Brien only realised how numbingly predictable they are.

'I am a Dalek, I am a Dalek ... David Icke is mad so anyone who likes his books must be mad ... activate, activate, exterminate, exterminate ... I am a Dalek, I am a Dalek ...'

Why don't the Liam O'Briens of the media (the vast majority) put aside their ignorance and arrogance long enough to produce a touch, even a smear, of humility and inquisitive open-mindedness sufficient to ask the simple and obvious question: why would a highly intelligent woman like Alice Walker say such things?

Ooops, sorry, I am being silly now.

'Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance.' – Albert Einstein

‘Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologise for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right, and you know it, speak your mind. Even if you are in a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.’ – Mahatma Gandhi

'Bakersfield, CA. resident, David Silva, was executed for being drunk in his own home. He was executed by the Kern County Sheriff’s Department. What happened to Silva was clearly an abuse of power but is representative of what the federal government has in store for all of America in which the people are the enemy of law enforcement and will treated accordingly.

The Tenth Amendment provides for the division of power and law enforcement between the federal, state and local governments. Unfortunately, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is changing the face of local law enforcement.'

'If you’re reading the “signs of the times” like any thinking person, the apparent world outlook isn’t good. While phony political processes cloud the air with smoke, mirrors and idiotic political air horns, UN and foreign troops are reportedly training on American soil and massive arms and munitions buildups continue at the behest of an enemy government.

Our own.

All with no visible signs of anything being warranted, nor of a population being warned of impending disaster.  Despite this obvious reality in every sphere of society the world marches on towards certain chaos.'

But after losing a two-year fight with a Fortune 500 company determined to buy their beautiful, 104-year-old property and turn it into a boutique hotel — even though it wasn't for sale — the women of the Anna Louise Inn have to leave the neighborhood.

While most of the 60 women living there are relieved that the fight with Western & Southern Insurance Group appears over, they can't help but also feel sad and angry.'

MON810 is mostly cultivated in the EU for animal feed - and is now due for re-authorisation under EU rules after the expiry of its ten-year license. Besides Germany, five countries have already banned the planting of it: France, Greece, Austria, Hungary and most recently, Luxembourg.'

'There is no good reason to keep throwing good money after bad in a failed, ill-founded policy. It’s long past time for a fundamental rethinking of the American government’s blank check to Israel.

According to the Congressional Research Service , the amount of official US aid to Israel since its founding in 1948 tops $112 billion, and in the past few decades it has been on the order of $3 billion per year.[6](In 2011, for example, this amounted to over $8.2 million every single day.)

But this money is only part of the story. For one thing, Israel gets its aid money at the start of each year, unlike other nations.[7] This is significant: It means Israel can start earning interest on the money right away. And it costs the US more than the typical year-end disbursements because the US government operates at a deficit, so it must borrow this money to pay Israel and then pay interest on the amount all year.'

'The United States government claims 100% ownership over all your DNA and reproductive rights. This astonishing revelation has emerged from the fact that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office claims the power to assign ownership of your DNA to private companies and universities who apply for patents on your genes.

To date, more than 4,000 genes have been assigned ownership to corporations and universities by the U.S. patent office. Such an assignment of ownership proves that the government believes it owns 100% of all human genes -- you cannot transfer ownership of something unless you first own it yourself.'

'Freedom activist Adam Kokesh of Adam vs. the Man was violently dragged from a "Smoke Down Prohibition" protest in Philadelphia just a few hours ago. According to his Facebook page, Adam is being charged with "resisting arrest" but is refusing to be booked for the charge which is obviously false.

The YouTube video of the arrest shows Adam Kokesh clearly NOT resisting, holding his hands up in a surrender posture and trying to maintain his balance while a gang of police drag him away from the event.

According to Adam Kokesh supporter "Brother Lucas," Kokesh never even smoked pot during the protest, so his arrest is sending shockwaves across the liberty movement because it appears to be illegal and unjustified.'

'Reliable sources in Washington D.C. have informed the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) that Monsanto has begun secretly lobbying its Congressional allies to attach one or more "Monsanto Riders" or amendments to the 2013 Farm Bill that would preempt or prohibit states from requiring labels on genetically engineered (GE) foods.

In response to this blatant violation of states' rights to legislate, and consumers' right to know, the OCA and a nationwide alliance have launched a petition http://salsa3.salsalabs.com to put every member of Congress on notice: If you support any Farm Bill amendment that would nullify states' rights to label genetically modified organisms (GMOs), we'll vote - or throw - you out of office.'

'We live in unprecedented times of great change and potential calamity. The very foundations of our world are being shaken to their core and this will undoubtedly continue to increase in magnitude.

These are times of great awakening and awareness. Economic hardship and instability, declining fundamental resources, catastrophic weather and climate change, the loss of arable land and fresh water, the potential for war between nations, and the destruction of our natural environment are all real threats facing us now and in the future. On top of all of this, we are experiencing a clandestine extraterrestrial intervention that seeks to capitalize on humanity’s divisions and vulnerabilities.

These are turbulent times indeed and it is imperative that we see the signs in the world and begin to take them seriously.  In times of ever increasing uncertainty and instability, we do not want to be on the beach when the Great Waves of Change arrive on our shores.'

'Though some states have legalized the sale of marijuana for medical purposes, the practice remains a felony crime under federal law.

Even if marijuana operators avoid arrests the almighty Feds inflict more damage by imposing astronomical “high taxes” on a state-sanctioned marijuana-cannabis, taxes as high as 75-80 percent. Some dealers, unable to pay employees and overhead, combined with the burden of extra high taxes, must shut down, thus preventing sick patients, preferring cannabis treatment, from getting the care they desperately need.

Cannabis dealers argue that “high taxes” imposed upon their businesses is the Feds political goal: to run them out of business and the bigger picture is to eliminate competition against the giant pharmaceutial industry which makes billions selling drugs to treat illnesses at a higher cost.'

'The corruption in Iraq has turned into a phenomenon, which is certain to be there for generations to come. The only way to put an end to it is through the formation of a national unity government that will make fighting corruption its top priority.

'Corruption’ is a word that is there in every seminar, statement and declaration in Iraq. Some speak of the amounts of money that has been stolen, the secret commissions and contracts and even refer to the persons involved by name.'
