Flat-Earther ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes plans to strap himself to a homemade rocket and launch himself towards space on Saturday, in a bid to prove that our planet isn’t a globe. Here’s what to expect from the mad-cap experiment. The self-taught rocket engineer will attempt the launch from the Route 66 ghost town of Amboy, California, which is home to less than a handful of residents. He is attempting the daring mission in a homemade, steam-powered, rocket that he built himself out of scrap metal. The 63-year-old first shot himself skywards in 2014 and since then has completed multiple launches and sustained several injuries. His most successful attempt took place in March 2018 ...

Kids didn’t used to roast to death, forgotten in the back seat of cars, because it was hard to forget your kid when he was sitting right there beside you – or even sitting in your lap. That was outlawed – for saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety.And now kids are forgotten about in the back seat and left to roast to death.Solution? Keep them strapped in back there even longer. Some states have mandated that “kids” ride in saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety seats until they’re practically ready for Social Security – or at least, college.A few people backed up over kids – chiefly because it is almost impossible to see what’s behind any ...

The Lee Harvey Oswalding of Epstein

It was surprising to see Lee Harvey Oswald silenced on live national TV by Jack Ruby. Lee had just (supposedly) murdered the president. Precautions to keep him capable of speech seemed indicated. He shortly was made otherwise. Fast forward almost 60 years . . . and here we go again. Jeffrey Epstein may not have killed the president – but he entertained at least one. Who is married (technically) to another would-be president. Others of potential interest were also, apparently, entertained by Epstein. Who is now incapable of saying a thing about any of it. One thing has been said, though – and it’s worth listening to over and over and over, until it finally sinks in: The ...

Here’s local news coverage about a teenage kid in Hollywood, FL Hut! Hut! Hutted! by armed government workers for popping wheelies on his bicycle. An AGW used his car to ram the kid’s bike – then several AGWs tackled the kid, who was also Tazered several times. For riding bicycles in an unapproved manner. In a statement released to the media, a Hollywood AGW spokesman claims the Hut! Hut! Hutting AGW’s two-ton vehicle made “incidental contact” with the kid and his bike and that this “contact” was “accidental.” But how so? The AGW deliberately chased a kid on a bicycle using his AGW SmooVee. Isn’t this like ...

Lone Shooters, Terrorism, and Semantics

By Jon Rappoport This is a big one. It’s so big, in fact, that many people will want to turn their backs on it and pretend it doesn’t and couldn’t exist. But it’s real. It does exist. No killing of innocent people can be called a “negligible statistic.” But what label do you apply when an entire government stands by and does nothing, while millions of people die? A supposed lone shooter motivated by political ideology kills 20 people, and this is called a terrorist act. But what category do you apply when a government enables a monopoly that destroys millions of lives? Don’t bother seeking answers from the mainstream press. They play dumb. They pretend to ...
‘Zero Emission’ Electric Cars

Did you happen to see the picture of the electric car “fast” charger being charged by the diesel generator? It’s Kodachrome evidence of the Moon-baying lunacy of this whole Electro-Kool Aid slurping. Better to forget the EV charger, use the diesel engine to power a car directly – cut out the middleman – and be done with it. Instead we are hectored about the virtues of the middleman – the EV charger. Which enables the EV owner to pretend – and posture – that his car is “zero emissions.” The picture makes it clear there are emissions – just usually emitted at a distance. In this case, it’s just a few feet from the EV – which ...

As the public carries on with the great debate about what really happened (or didn't happen) to Jeffrey Epstein early Saturday morning in the hours before he was found dead in his cell at MCC in an apparent suicide, the Washington Post has unleashed a bombshell. First, remember how some witnesses claimed they had heard horrifying shrieking coming from Epstein's cell in the hours before his death? Well, here's one explanation for that: An autopsy report found that Epstein had endured multiple breaks in his neck bones, deepening the mystery surrounding his death last week. Among the bones broken in Epstein’s neck was the hyoid bone, which in men is near the Adam’s ...

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., blasted his Democratic colleagues on Wednesday for sending a stern and unusual warning to the Supreme Court earlier this week in connection with a gun case.

Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., wrote in a brief filed Monday that the "Supreme Court is not well.” They suggested the court “heal itself” or face public pressure to be “restructured.” Graham said this was a clear reference to expanding the number of justices on the court to make it more liberal. ...

A survey conducted by Iowa State University has found that farmers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois support President Trump’s tariffs against China. According to the study, nearly 60-percent of respondents in those states expressed support for the ongoing trade war, while 14-percent had neutral feelings on the matter. This comes after Beijing announced earlier this month it would be suspending purchases of all U.S. agricultural farm products in response to the Trump administration’s recent round of tariffs targeting $300 billion in Chinese imports. Although the heightened trade tensions between Washington and Beijing has resulted in a near $10 billion decrease in U.S. ...

“It is often the case that police shootings, incidents where law enforcement officers pull the trigger on civilians, are left out of the conversation on gun violence. But a police officer shooting a civilian counts as gun violence. Every time an officer uses a gun against an innocent or an unarmed person contributes to the culture of gun violence in this country.”—Journalist Celisa Calacal Yes, gun violence is a problem in America, although violent crime generally remains at an all-time low. Yes, mass shootings are a problem in America, although while they are getting deadlier, they are not getting more frequent. Yes, mentally ill individuals embarking on mass shooting ...

Common Dreams – by Jake Johnson Farmers facing record bankruptcies and collapsing incomes due to President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war with China were not amused by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s joke about their economic pain during an event in Minnesota last week. “I had a farmer tell me this in Pennsylvania,” Perdue told an audience of thousands of farmers gathered in a barn near Morgan, Minnesota. “What do you call two farmers in a basement? A whine cellar.” Some laughed at the agriculture secretary’s joke, but other farmers booed and denounced Perdue’s wisecrack as callous and tone-deaf mockery of the real ...

I’ve never done anything. There’s no fluids to change. There’s nothing.” Nothing? Jay – who styles himself a Car Guy – ought to know better. Assuming he knows anything about cars. No fluids to change? Well, no oil/transmission fluid to change. How about brake fluid? Electric cars have this fluid, just like any other car – and it does need to be changed. It’s a good idea to change it about once every . . . three years. ...

Now that distrust of government narratives—the prime example being 9/11—make you a far rightwing white nationalist terrorist, according to the FBI, let’s look at what we can expect in the weeks and months ahead. The FBI, America’s secret political police, is known for arranging fake terror attacks to alarm the public and keep the war on terror moving along and dominating headlines. Recall the case of Jerry Drake Varnell, a 23-year-old diagnosed schizophrenic, the FBI tried to turn into a rightwing terrorist back in 2017. From PCMD News: In a June meeting with the agent, according to FBI documents, Varnell described himself as a believer in “Three ...

People already legally sell blood, plasma, and bone marrow. Why not a kidney?Have you volunteered to be an organ donor? I did.I just clicked the box on the government form that asks if, once I die, I'm willing to donate my organs to someone who needs them.Why not? Lots of people need kidneys, livers, etc. When I'm dead, I sure won't need mine.Still, there are not enough donors. So, more than 100,000 Americans are on a waiting list for kidneys. Taking care of them is so expensive, it consumes almost 3 percent of the federal budget!So why not allow Americans to sell an organ?People already legally sell blood, plasma, sperm, eggs, and bone marrow.

I'll fucking throw you down these stairs," Cuomo said at one point during the two-minute video, which was reportedly recorded this past Sunday.This morning Trump seized on the outburst from one of his prominent media critics by tweeting out ...
