Here’s the description from the poster on YouTube: WATERTOWN, MA — On Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, police and federal agents spent the day storming people’s homes and performing illegal searches.

WTF
So, let me see; I can grow hemlock or oleander which are deadly poisons, but I can’t grow marijuana or hemp.
It must be because I can’t be trusted with agents that will cause me to look at reality differently.
People actually want to live this way?

Antibiotic Resistance kills more people than Aids
Leah Zerbe at Rodale reports on the dangerous side effects of doctors over prescribing antibiotics and their use in factory farming:
The World Health Organization recently said resistance to antibiotics might be the end of modern medicine; people could die after routine operations or when a simple scrape on the knee becomes infected. In fact, we’re already seeing all sorts of...

Food
Good - they did it.
Bad - we live in a place where you have to do it.
(NaturalNews) There is a food revolution taking hold all over America, whether it is in the form of demanding labeling of GM foods, the right to produce and sell raw milk and other commodities, or - in the case of Sedgwick, Maine - declaring all local food transactions of any kind free and legal. According to the website...

Dirt is the Answer to Health
For all the sophisticated analysis involved, the theory that Knip is testing couldn’t be more basic. He thinks the key difference between the two populations is…dirt. In a sense, he wonders if kids in Finland, and in the United States and other developed nations as well, are too clean for their own good.

The idea that dirt, or the lack of it, might play a role in autoimmune disease...

Canada’s state and corporate wealth is largely based on subsidies gained from the theft of Indigenous lands and resources. Conquest in Canada was designed to ensure forced displacement of Indigenous peoples from their territories, the destruction of autonomy and self-determination in Indigenous self-governance and the assimilation of Indigenous peoples’ cultures and...

More for Israel?
This is an urgent call to action.
The Israel Lobby has narrowed its sights on three pieces of legislation. Predictably, the bills are not in America’s best interest.
But these initiatives are far worse—more dangerous—than in recent years.
The Lobby is demanding full funding for Israel’s war machine. They want to be exempt from sequestration—the mandatory reduction of all federal expenditures....

EPA Reverses Stance on Polluting Texas County’s...
It is always about money; not people.
When Uranium Energy Corp. sought permission to launch a large-scale mining project in Goliad County, Texas, it seemed as if the Environmental Protection Agency would stand in its way.
To get the ore out of the ground, the company needed a permit to pollute a pristine supply of underground drinking water in an area already parched by drought.
