As regards the question of REGENERATION OF UNDERGROUND PETROLEUM, I had heard Mr. Gold's (and others') arguments years ago and found them fascinating -- and plausible. I just did a search after seeing Larry's comment and found a trove of commentary on the topic at the link below. Please dig (or drill) into this yourself as you recall that Clan Rockefeller has had a very checkered - and self-serving - history. Given the relationships between BIG MONEY, BIG OIL and government and recent, ongoing national events, are we targets of yet another SCAM that has lasted over 150 years since...

A Pennsylvania man who sought treatment for jaw pain, killed his chiropractor by fracturing his skull and hitting him in the jaw with a blunt object. Joseph O’Boyle, 23, blamed his chiropractor Dr. James Sowa, 64, for worsening his jaw pain, according to his family. Surveillance video from November 2020 shows O’Boyle arriving to Dr. Sowa’s office on the day of the murder and fleeing the scene one minute later. One week after the murder, law enforcement served O’Boyle a search warrant at his home and that’s when he lunged at a detective a repeatedly punched him in the head....

President Biden told a local lawmaker while visiting Uvalde on Sunday that the federal government may provide resources to raze Robb Elementary School, where 19 children and two teachers were shot and killed earlier this week. "He said, 'I'm not going away. I'm going to bring you resources. We're going to look to raze that school, build a new one,'" state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, who represents Uvalde, told KSAT. "I can't tell you how many little children that I've talked to that don't want to go into that building. They're just traumatized. They're just destroyed."

A young boy found dead inside a suitcase in rural Indiana woods last month died of dehydration and had no signs of trauma on his body, state police said. An autopsy report said the boy — who has yet to be identified — died of an “electrolyte imbalance” that was likely caused by the stomach flu, Indiana police said Friday. The child, who is believed to be about 5-years-old, was clothed and clean when he was found by a mushroom hunter in Washington County woods on April 16, police said. No trauma was found on his body and a toxicology...

New York (CNN)There's a growing debate among journalists over how to report on the victims of mass shootings. Some argue that if lawmakers and American citizens were able to see the graphic images of dead bodies in classrooms, there could be a shift in how some in the country approach gun rights. Temple University's journalism school dean David Boardman tweeted on Tuesday that he couldn't have imagined advocating for this just a few years ago. "It's time, with the permission of a surviving parent, to show what a slaughtered 7-year-old looks like," Boardman tweeted.

The Libertarian Party held its convention this weekend in Reno, Nevada. In a huge shift in leadership, the Mises Caucus swept the floor and took control of the Libertarian Party. The #RenoReset is complete. For those unfamiliar with the Mises Caucus or Libertarian Party politics, they can be best described as Ron Paul Revolution 2.0, the people who supported Dr. Paul in his 2008 and 2012 Presidential campaigns. The LP became a landing zone for many of Ron Paul’s followers after the GOP went to great lengths to silence Dr. Paul during the campaign. However, many grew tired of LP...

The notable nonagenerians offer dueling visions of world order at the World Economic Forum. Two American immigrants, both survivors of life under Nazi rule still making waves in their nineties, set the terms of debate at the World Economic Forum. Henry Kissinger, who celebrates his 99th birthday this week, made a virtual appearance to urge against attempts to defeat or marginalize Russia, calling on Ukraine to accept the territorial losses of 2014 to end the war. A few hours later, George Soros, in person at the forum at age 91, warned that victory in the war against Vladimir Putin’s Russia...

Americans can’t afford to buy a used car or even gas because the Left doesn’t want them to drive. They can’t buy homes because the Left wants to destroy the suburbs and force everyone to live in megacities. They have trouble buying meat because the Left wants them to eat soy.The same is true for the whole exercise in planned economic misery that we’re experiencing.Take Hoover's "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage" and reverse it. That's the goal. What we’re living through is not an unintentional accident: it’s the American Holodomor.The Left doesn’t want you...

Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, Gab TV, GETTR With Russia’s war in Ukraine now in its fourth month, mainstream media consumers have been treated to seemingly endless headlines and analysis of Russia’s extensive military losses. At the same time Ukrainian forces have tended to be lionized and their battlefield prowess romanticized, with essentially zero public information so far being given which details up-to-date Ukrainian force casualties, set-backs, and equipment losses.But for the first time The Washington Post is out with a surprisingly dire and negative assessment of how US-backed and equipped Ukrainian forces are actually fairing. Gone...

When Katie Britt announced her run for Senate in Alabama last June, private polling pegged her name recognition at 8% and political support among Republican voters at just 4%. Nearly one year later, Britt finished first, with 44.75%, in Tuesday’s primary and is favored to defeat Rep. Mo Brooks in a June 21 runoff. Runoffs are not always hospitable to establishment-backed candidates who win round one but fall short of 50%. Brooks weathered losing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement in March, and he enters the runoff with some momentum. But Britt’s performance in the primary was so sweeping that Alabama...

Secret service told the community President would meet and shake hands with them, but is met with angry chants and instead leaves. This after Catholic Service in honor of victims…POTUS didn’t speak to anyone in the community at the Elementary, or at the Church visit.

The reaction to the National Rifle Association hosting its conference in Houston, Texas continues to draw unhinged responses. Ethan Klein on Friday broadcast calls to violence during his "H3 After Dark" episode which he hosts with his wife, Hila Klein. They have nearly 3 million subscribers. The Blaze TV's Elijah Schaffer tweeted out a clip of Ethan Klein saying "someone should bomb that building" when it comes to where the NRA conference is being held. Hila Klein initially reacts with an "mhm," seemingly in agreement. It's important to mention that Klein walked back his remarks immediately, though he then went...

Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi is ready to call it. He tells Fortune that we've officially moved from a housing boom into a "housing correction." The real estate data rolling in for April and May shows that the U.S. housing market is softening. New home sales fell 19% to their lowest level since April 2020. Redfin reports 19% of home listings cut their price over the past month. Inventory is rising fast, while mortgage applications and existing home sales are also falling. This drop-off isn't a result of seasonality, or a soft month or two. Zandi says it's a...

Archaeologists in Israel have unearthed the 2,100-year-old remains of a farmstead whose owners likely abandoned it in a hurry, possibly to avoid an impending military invasion...The excavators discovered ancient, still-intact storage jars at the site, as well as weights for weaving looms on a shelf, suggesting that whoever lived there left them behind when they quickly departed...The archaeologists don’t know who lived there, but it’s possible they were subjects of the Seleucid Empire who left to escape an invasion of the area by the forces of the Hasmonean Kingdom — an independent Jewish kingdom based in Jerusalem to the south."We...

Denver Newsroom, May 27, 2022 / 12:39 pm (CNA). Pro-life organizations and Catholic church buildings continue to be targeted with arson and graffiti attacks, incidents which began in earnest earlier this month after a leaked draft opinion suggested that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and return the question of abortion policy to the states. In the latest reported incident, a Seattle-area crisis pregnancy center was tagged with graffiti and vandalized in the early morning hours of May 25. In addition to the red paint, at least five of the front windows of Next Step...

Union leaders representing more than 4,000 Portland teachers and other licensed educators say they will meet with Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero and other Portland Public Schools administrators in coming days to urge them to acknowledge ventilation issues in a significant swath of elementary and middle schools. - snip - The union’s questions are prompted by The Oregonian/OregonLive’s “Below the bare minimum” investigation, which found that nearly 500 of almost 2,000 classrooms in the district’s elementary and middle schools fail to meet experts’ bare minimum recommendations for fresh and filtered air. Many ventilation scientists set that minimum threshold at no less than...
