There are a great number of people out there who rely on vitamin B12 supplements as a natural way to help ease stress and boost their energy levels. While the vitamin’s ability to enhance mental performance is relatively well known, research suggests that the effects of B12 deficiency may be more serious than a simple lack of energy. Let’s take a look at seven of them. 1. Cognitive Impairment In the elderly, B12 deficiency has been linked to cognitive impairment and dementia. This deficiency has also been linked to other neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. [1] 2. … Continue reading

The speculator who made millions by shorting the subprime mortgage market says another crisis is now in the pipeline. You may have seen the movie, The Big Short. It’s gong to happen again. The big bank bankers did not learn the lesson Congress wanted them to learn. Why should we expect them to? They skunked Congress — TARP. They got incredibly rich going up, and they got huge retirement settlements after it went down. The public got no “golden parachutes.” The public got hammered. The next crisis already in the pipeline. Read this interview with the man who spotted the … Continue reading

Originally published by AmmoLand.com. Washington DC – On December 29 2015, actor James Woods reacted to newly released details of the heinous November 10 murder of Amanda Blackburn by urging Americans to “buy more guns and learn how to use them.” Blackburn was the wife of Pastor Davey Blackburn, who left his home to go the gym on November 10, only to have three suspects enter the home and kill his wife while he was gone. According to USA Today, police said Amanda was knocked to the floor, then “accused triggerman Larry Taylor” allegedly “leaned over Blackburn’s body and shot the young … Continue reading

On 30 December, 2015, the French newspaper Libération had a huge word dominating its front page: Fuck! The expletive was used to commemorate, lament, or celebrate the death at the age of 70 of a rock star called Lemmy Kilmister. The accompanying picture shows a middle-aged rebellious adolescent; inside there is a picture of him in old age, a kind of senile rebel who could never bear to leave his adolescence behind, proud of his degeneracy unto death. In this, he was an authentic representative of modern psychological development: a short period of precocity followed by a long one of … Continue reading

Once upon a time, there was a simple mechanical device that fed fuel to your car’s engine. It had no electrical hook-ups, was not dependent on sensors nor controlled by a computer. It was held in place by four bolts and could be physically removed from the engine in less than five minutes with basic hand tools. Its workings were visible – and so, comprehensible. This miracle device is the carburetor. You can still find them, too –  just not under the hood of any car built since the late 1980s. Lawnmower engines, weed whackers and other outdoor power equipment still … Continue reading

By Dr. Mercola Happy New Year! This year, what do you say we all skip the New Year’s resolution? About half of Americans make them, and most start out strong but come February or March, many have already thrown in the towel. Overall, it’s estimated that 92 percent of Americans fail to achieve the goals they commit to on New Year’s Day.1 And so, I’m proposing this instead: in place of a New Year’s resolution, make a commitment to simply live better this year. This is an ongoing process, a lifestyle change, not an impulsive resolution that you blurted out … Continue reading

FBI to act as lead agency in ending occupation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Justice for the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks has been stopped for too long by George W. Bush and Barack Obama; and now, heading off world war depends on doing that justice.

The mass executions by the barbaric Saudi regime on Jan. 2, which are now polarizing the entire Muslim world again, must be denounced widely by all civilized people, before Saudi actions trigger a new global war.

The first and immediate step must be the immediate release of the secret 28 pages from the original Congressional Joint Inquiry into 9/11, which detailed the direct role of the Saudi Monarchy in organizing those attacks on New York and Washington. President George W. Bush buried those 28 pages, and President Barack Obama has kept them buried. House bill HR 14 and Senate bill S 1471 have been demanding their release. But the time has come to bring the contents of those 28 pages to the floors of the House and Senate, and to all Americans.

Had those contents been out, there would be no Islamic State threat today, and the Saudi sponsorship of global jihadist terrorism would have been halted 13 years ago. The actions by Bush and Obama, in protecting that dirty Saudi secret, are tantamount to acts of treason against the American people, starting with the 3,000 Americans who perished in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

The barbaric mass executions on Jan. 2 should be the clearest reminder that the leadership of the Kingdom is indistinguishable from the leadership of ISIS.

We also stand at one minute to midnight of a financial crash worse, in its effects on people, than 2008.

Today, Jan. 4, begins the policy of “bail-in” all over Europe and in the United States. Government regulators and bankers know the policy; but you probably don’t: They will try to “recapitalize” any bank that fails, by taking its creditors’ bonds, and then taking its depositors’ money.

And banks will fail. In Europe a string of bank failures and “bail-ins” of savers has already hit Italy and Portugal just before New Years. In the U.S. financial system, the “junk debt” bubble connected to commodities has gotten 150% larger than the 2008 subprime mortgage bubble ever was; and the delinquent part of that junk debt suddenly spiked in December to 25% — that’s as high as subprime mortgage defaults ever got before, the crash.

Clear and direct action is required against Wall Street. The “bail-in” swindle has been embraced by President Obama and passed into law, in the Dodd-Frank Act, by a cowardly and corrupt U.S. Congress. That Congress reconvenes Tuesday, Jan. 5 — it must be held to the fire immediately.

Congress could have shut the Wall Street casino down in 2010, by restoring the Glass-Steagall Act and other measures of President Franklin Roosevelt’s first months in office. Congress caved in to Wall Street instead. They passed trillions in bailouts and then a Dodd-Frank Act which is now about to produce the even more devastating “bail-in” — bailing your savings into insolvent banks. Now, the Wall Street/London banking system which is set to blow, can really kill you.

No consideration should be given to any more bail-outs, or any bail-ins. Wall Street has no authority to collect these bad debts or replace them with your savings. To prevent economic catastrophe and general war, shut Wall Street and Obama down.

Make them put Glass-Steagall through now! House bill HR 381 and Senate bill S 1709.

Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley has stated the intention to restore Glass-Steagall more clearly than any other Presidential candidate — the Wall Street Journal called him “Wall Street’s enemy number-one” as a result. Will he get the support to do it?
