The Toxic Apocalypse, We are all in this Together!

If any family understands toxic exposure, it is my family. We have endured it through multiple generations of military service.

(WAYNESBURG, Pa.) - When I was a child, my father had a photo album from WWII that was full of pictures of nothing but a city in rubble. We were sworn to secrecy and were not permitted to discuss these photos with anyone.

I always remembered this one photo of an arch doorway of a church still standing with the rest of the building just gone. Later in life I learned that there was the impression of little girl’s charred remains on that doorway. I never noticed this detail until it was explained to me by my father. The story of his personal experience of this little girl at the church, I will never forget. As it turned out these were his one of kind personal photos of the devastation after the atomic bomb blast in Nagasaki.

The Tail Wags the Dog: Israel Publicly Upbraids the US on Iran

It’s taken it a long time, but at last the Obama administration is showing some backbone in its relations with the rabid dog of the Middle East.

(LONDON Redress News & Analysis) - Israel has gotten so used to the United States being totally subservient to it that it seems incapable of tolerating the slightest deviation from its diktats by Washington.

For a country that swallows up some eight million dollars a day of American taxpayers’ money, one might expect some self-restraint, at least in symbolic gratitude for the largesse it receives from its increasingly economically desperate benefactors. But no.

(ST AUGUSTINE) - It is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy. I have been watching one mainstream TV documentary after another examining the murder. By the end of this viewing ordeal, reluctantly I conclude, Lee Harvey Oswald did shoot the President. He lied without conscience to the cops for two days before he was killed by Jack Ruby.

Sadly, endless conspiracy-seeking writers have assumed that his proclamations were truthful. They were not.
