Through aerosolized spraying of certain substances in the stratosphere or troposphere, it is possible to reflect more sunlight back into space, thereby acting to cool the planet. This mimics large volcanic eruptions which have repeatedly cooled Earth’s climate …read more
Piqua, OH — In April, truck driver John Depue had a medical emergency while he was driving his semi through Miami County. His distress caused him to run off the road, sending his 18-wheeler careening off of an embankment.
Trooper Eric Devers of the Piqua Post was the first person on the scene, who arrived approximately 12 minutes before paramedics. When Devers found Depue, he was losing consciousness, and his eyes were rolling back into his head. He was barely breathing.
The sound from the officer’s mic picked up the event that happened next and paints a heroic picture. Depue stopped breathing, …read more

Arlington, TX — In an effort to protect the citizens of Texas, a massive military-style raid was conducted on the Garden of Eden organic farm and commune.
On August 2, 2103, nearly two dozen heavily armed SWAT officers stormed this peaceful farm in search of a plant. They found lots of plants, but much to their dismay, they did not find the plant they were looking for.

Country, I was a soldier to you.
I did what you asked me to.
It was wrong, and you knew.
Country, now I’m just a stranger to you.
A number, a name; it’s true.
Throw me away when you’re through.
Home of the brave and the free; the red, white, and blue.
I wish it was true.

On August 14, a unanimous decision of the Washington State Supreme Court fined the state $100,000 per day until the legislature expands state financing for public schools. Ever since 2012 the Court had been warning the executive and legislative branches that the State Constitution requires government to fund education. Because most education spending in Washington state is from local taxes and local government, not from the state, inevitably public schools in poor communities are underfunded compared to wealthy communities.
This New York Times story says the problem has been prolonged because the two houses of the legislature are controlled …read more
These Drug Dealers Killed More People in the Last Decade than the Mexican Cartels
There is a dubious new addition to the Forbes 2015 America’s Richest Families list. The Sackler family, which owns 100 percent of Purdue Pharma, amassed the 16th largest family fortune in the U.S., estimated to be worth $14 billion dollars.
What makes this distinction dubious is the fact that the Sackler’s built their fortune by peddling the highly addictive, and often deadly, opiate painkiller OxyContin as a supposedly non-addictive version of oxycodone, labeling it as “abuse resistant.”
Purdue Pharma has generated estimated sales of over $35 billion dollars …read more
