"From award-winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern (The Devil Came on Horseback and The Trials of Darryl Hunt) comes the provocative and expertly crafted film, THE END OF AMERICA, based on The New York Times best seller by the same name. In a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities—from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the ...

Education and the New World Order If you didn’t believe the United States had been the victim of the conspiracy of usurpation from within by now, you will after this interview conducted by G. Edward Griffin in 1982. Griffin interviewed Norman Dodd, a Congressional investigator heading the 1953 Reese Committee, charged with investigating tax-exempt foundations and charitable organizati0ns the United States. Why investigate those organizations who ‘do so much good‘ in society, like the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, the Carnegie Endowment, or the Guggenheim Fund? The investigation focused on whether any of these organizations were undertaking un-American activities, ...
Rudd’s (Australia) happy little jar of vegemite baffles the world

Vegemite has scored itself another bout of international infamy after foreign minister Kevin Rudd was forced to bring out the might of "ministerial intervention" to get his breakfast through US Customs on Sunday. The suspect little jar of brown stuff that saw Rudd questioned en route from Mexico to New York was actually his breakfast, a supply of emergency Vegemite he'd stashed in his carry-on bag. "Only problem travelling to NY is that they tried to confiscate our Vegemite at the airport. Needed Foreign Ministerial intervention," Rudd tweeted following the incident. Luckily, Mexico's Foreign Service came to the rescue, and the jar was eventually allowed to ...

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them. Hellloooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Helllooooo? It's been a year! I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.

Most adults can recall a situation in life when they have been bullied. A substantial proportion of children and adolescents are victimized by their peers at some point during their school years. Generally, these events are limited to playgrounds and hallways of elementary and high schools. However, in recent years, bullying has evolved from what used to be thought of as the "big kid picking on the little kid" to a growing and serious psychosocial and behavioral disorder. The evolution of bullying coincides with the growing access to mobile devices and Internet-based social networking. Management of bullying behavior poses complex social and policy questions for all who are ...

Zurich city parliament on Wednesday rubber-stamped a loan earmarked for the construction of drive-in sex stalls where punters can meet prostitutes at purpose-built venues away from the city centre. Representatives voted 74 to 30 in favour of the new development in Alstetten to the west of the city, Tages-Anzeiger newspaper reported. Ten garage-like booths will be erected on derelict land in an industrial area in Alstetten, complete with parking spaces and alarm buttons. The so-called "performance stalls" will be the first of their kind in Switzerland if the project goes ahead. The city council agreed last week to sanction the 2.4-million franc ($2.8m) loan for the development ...

A Swedish man is set to be evicted from his rental apartment in Gothenburg in western Sweden after complaints from neighbours about his incessant laughter. The middle-aged man is an admitted fan of classic comedic movies from the 1930s and 40s known as pilsnerfilmer ('Pilsner films'), the GT newspaper reports. The man finds the films and other comedies so amusing that he can't help but laugh out loud, much to the dismay of his neighbours, who have filed complaints with municipal property management company Poseidon. To make matters worse for those living nearby, the man has made a habit of watching the films late at night, often resulting in a barrage of hearty guffaws that ...

The world's largest sperm bank in Denmark has started turning down redheaded donors because there is too little demand for their sperm. Ole Schou, Cryos's director, said that there had been a surge in donations in recent years, allowing the facility to become much more picky about its donors. "There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case." Mr Schou said the only reliable demand for ...

HARARE, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- China may have provided Zimbabwe with food aid in the past but that gesture appears to have ignited its interest to help Zimbabwe enhance food security. Under the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), China pledged to construct 14 agricultural technological demonstration centers in Africa and later increased the number of centers to 20. Zimbabwe was chosen among the beneficiaries. The main purpose of the centers is to help Africa improve agricultural production and enhance its food security through use of advanced agricultural technology and modern agricultural machinery in the production of high yielding and superior quality food crops. ...

Arsenic in apple juice! Fed to babies! And it probably came from China! Television's Dr. Mehmet Oz is under fire from the FDA and others for sounding what they say is a false alarm about the dangers of apple juice. Oz, one of TV's most popular medical experts, said on his Fox show Wednesday that testing by a New Jersey lab had found what he suggested were troubling levels of arsenic in many brands of juice. The Food and Drug Administration said its own tests show no such thing, even on one of the same juice batches Oz cited. "There is no evidence of any public health risk from drinking these juices. And FDA has been testing them for years," the agency said in a ...

An internet "troll" has been jailed for mocking dead teenagers on various websites. Public figures, including Stephen Fry and Miranda Hart, have also been victims of trolling. So what is it and why do people do it? The word comes from a Norse monster but the troll is a very modern menace. For some it's the internet equivalent of road rage, vandalising a grave, or kicking a man when he's down. Trolling is a phenomenon that has swept across websites in recent years. Online forums, Facebook pages and newspaper comment forms are bombarded with insults, provocations or threats. Supporters argue it's about humour, mischief and freedom of speech. But for many the ferocity ...

Chinese "inventor" to grow anti-cancer green tea on panda poop

A college teacher in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, says he wants to grow tea using panda excrement as fertilizer and then sell the leaves for 219,865 yuan ($34,500) per 500 g. An Yanshi has patented his idea with the Sichuan copyright bureau, although he admits he has no idea how he can get his hands on enough panda waste or what effect it will have on the tea. "Excrement is better than chemical fertilizers, and I wanted to use panda feces to produce green tea," he said. "Green tea has properties that can prevent cancer, while bamboo leaf, the staple food for pandas, contains the same ingredient that can combat cancer." He added that, as panda excrement is ...
