 U.S. Government Plunging Further Into Debt at $1 Million a MinuteBy David Gutierrez, June 29 2008
(NaturalNews) The U.S. government's national debt is growing by almost $1 million per minute, or $1.4 billion per day. Merely paying the interest on what this debt has become is anticipated to place an increasing strain on public programs.
The debt has grown from $5.7 trillion in Jan. 2001, when President George W. Bush took office, to $9.13 trillion today, and is expected to climb past $10 trillion by the time Bush leaves office at the beginning of 2009. Because the interest on the debt keeps...
 Creating the Next Society: Your Revolutionary Ideas Needed NowBy Mike Adams, June 27 2008
(NaturalNews) It's fairly obvious to anyone paying attention that the American Empire, as currently configured and operated, is simply not sustainable. Financial collapse is inevitable (and accelerating, it seems), and even mainstream America can no longer deny the obvious signs that things have gone terribly wrong: Skyrocketing fuel prices, unprecedented inflation in food prices, rampant epidemics of preventable degenerative disease, plummeting real estate prices, an increasingly-worthless national...
 Massachusetts Governor to Criminalize Internet Gambling Even While Pushing for Casinos in BostonBy David Gutierrez, June 22 2008
(NaturalNews) As part of a law intended to bring three new casinos to Massachusetts, Governor Deval Patrick has included a provision to criminalize all Internet gambling, drawing accusations that he is attempting to create a gambling monopoly in the state.
Under the legislation drafted by Patrick, expected to be heard by the state legislature in 2008, the state would grant licenses to three casinos seeking to do business in Massachusetts. Each casino would pay a 10-year licensing fee of $200 million...
 U.S. Military Demands Bonus Money Back from Soldiers with Arms, Legs Blown OffBy David Gutierrez, June 22 2008
(NaturalNews) In some cases, the U.S. military has been denying wounded soldiers the full amount of their enlistment bonuses, under the rationale that the soldiers are unable to fulfill the full term of their service contract.
The policy came to light after Jordan Fox, who was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq and sent home three months early, received a letter asking him to repay $2,800 of his signing bonus. Fox had been hospitalized for several months, and still has an injured back and a blind...
 U.K. to Begin Microchipping PrisonersBy David Gutierrez, June 21 2008
(NaturalNews) The British government is developing a plan to track current and former prisoners by means of microchips implanted under the skin, drawing intense criticism from probation officers and civil rights groups.
As a way to reduce prison crowding, many British prisoners are currently released under electronic monitoring, carried out by means of an ankle bracelet that transmits signals like those used by mobile phones.
Now the Ministry of Justice is exploring the possibility of injecting...
 U.S. School District to Begin Microchipping StudentsBy David Gutierrez, June 16 2008
(NaturalNews) A Rhode Island school district has announced a pilot program to monitor student movements by means of radio frequency identification (RFID) chips implanted in their schoolbags.
The Middletown School District, in partnership with MAP Information Technology Corp., has launched a pilot program to implant RFID chips into the schoolbags of 80 children at the Aquidneck School. Each chip would be programmed with a student identification number, and would be read by an external device installed...
 California Home Foreclosures Skyrocket by Over 400 PercentBy David Gutierrez, June 11 2008
(NaturalNews) The number of California homes foreclosed on in the fourth quarter of 2007 was more than 400 percent higher than in the same quarter of 2006, according to DataQuick Information systems.
A total of 31,676 California homes were foreclosed in the last quarter of 2007, compared with only 6,078 in the fourth quarter of the year before. The total number of foreclosures in 2007 was 84,375, or more than six times the 2006 total of 12,672.
It was the most foreclosures since DataQuick began...
 U.S. Government Sought Customer Book Purchasing Records from Amazon.comBy David Gutierrez, June 7 2008
(NaturalNews) Recently unsealed court records shed more light on the federal government's attempts to secure the online book purchase records of 24,000 Amazon.com customers.
In 2006, federal prosecutors investigating Robert D'Angelo, a Madison, WI official accused of fraud and tax evasion, subpoenaed online book retailer Amazon.com for transaction records on anyone who had purchased books from him through Amazon Marketplace since 1999. Prosecutors said they were hoping to find witnesses to testify...

(NaturalNews) Police in Ozark, Alabama, Tasered and arrested an unconscious, sober man who was having a diabetic seizure on November 6, then charged him with drunk driving and resisting arrest.

After receiving a call about the truck and trailer parked on the side of the road, three police cruisers responded...
 Illegal Immigrants Create Far Lower Health Care Cost Burden than Previously AssumedBy David Gutierrez, May 23 2008
(NaturalNews) Latinos residing in the United States illegally are 50 percent less likely to use emergency room facilities than Latinos with legal migration or citizenship status, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
"The current policy discourse that undocumented immigrants are a burden on the public because they overuse public resources is not borne out with data, for either primary...
 Depleted Uranium Shells Used by U.S. Military Worse Than Nuclear WeaponsBy David Gutierrez, May 20 2008
(NaturalNews) The use of depleted uranium (DU) munitions by the U.S. military may lead to a death toll far higher than that from the nuclear bombs dropped at the end of World War II.
DU is a waste product of uranium enrichment, containing approximately one-third the radioactive isotopes of naturally occurring uranium. Because of its high density, it is used in armor- or tank-piercing ammunition. It has been fired by the U.S. and British militaries in the two Iraq wars and in Afghanistan, as well...
 Mortgage Holders Cry Victim, Sue Lenders for Loaning Them MoneyBy David Gutierrez, April 20 2008
(NaturalNews) A bill has been introduced into the House of Representatives that would ban companies from giving out loans that the borrower never has a reasonable chance of repaying, and to allow such borrowers to sue for better deals.
Representative Barney Frank, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, introduced the bill to combat the increasingly common practice among lending companies of giving out loans with rates that start out low but jump sharply after an introductory period....
 Meltdown of U.S. Dollar Underway as China Dumps the CurrencyBy David Gutierrez, April 13 2008
(NaturalNews) Comments by China that it intends to move away from its reliance on the dollar triggered a sharp drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and heightened worldwide fears about the U.S. currency's stability. Chinese Central Bank Vice Director Xiu Jian said that his country is planning to shift much of its $1.4 trillion national currency reserve from dollars to more stable currencies, such as the euro or Canadian dollar. After these comments, the dollar fell to record lows relative to...
 The Forbidden Financial Topic: U.S. National DebtBy Mike Adams, April 2 2008
(NaturalNews) As we wind our way towards an election between the numerous professional liars who have been put forward as candidates for U.S. President, it seems to be a great time to remind us all about the financial issue being routinely ignored by virtually everyone (except Ron Paul, of course, who was never really embraced by the "please lie to me" mainstream public). To what financial issue am I referring? The national debt, of course.
Americans don't want to hear about the national debt...
 Pentagon Stiffs Soldiers out of Education Benefits After 729-Day Deployment in IraqBy David Gutierrez, March 7 2008
(NewsTarget) Members of the Minnesota National Guard returning from the longest tour of any ground combat unit in Iraq were surprised to learn that they were not eligible for the education benefits that they expected to receive under the G.I. Bill.
The Minnesota National Guard's First Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division was deployed in Iraq for 22 months, 125 days longer than they had originally been scheduled for. This involuntary extension, a part of President Bush's "surge" strategy...
 City Mandates Installation of "Big Brother" Video Monitors in All New BuildingsBy David Gutierrez, March 3 2008
(NaturalNews) The city government of Aberdeen, Maryland, has passed a measure requiring all new developments to install centrally monitored police cameras upon request.
Under the new law, which becomes effective immediately, the Police Department, the Department of Planning and Community Development, and the Department of Public Works will evaluate each new commercial, industrial or residential development to decide whether cameras should be installed there. If they decide that cameras are required...
 Soon U.S. Citizens Must Ask for Government Permission to Fly or TravelBy David Gutierrez, February 28 2008
(NaturalNews) The Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is moving forward to institute a rule that would require all passengers to go through a government review process before boarding any airplane that takes off or lands anywhere with in the United States.
The U.S. government already requires international passengers to participate in the Advanced Passenger Information System, providing their full name, gender, date of birth, nationality, country of residence...
 Join the Ron Paul Revolution to Restore Health Freedom to AmericaBy Mike Adams, December 27 2007
(NewsTarget) It wasn't long ago that I thought Ron Paul was a long shot candidate for president. But now, thanks to a groundswell of support from intelligent people all across the nation, Ron Paul is suddenly in the running. While the mainstream media continues to attack Paul and make it look like he doesn't stand a chance, Paul has actually become the top choice among thinking people across America. That's why the Ron Paul revolution is now being called, "The Revolution of the Intelligent."

 Health Freedom Candidate Ron Paul Raises $6 Million in Record-Setting Online Boston Tea PartyBy Mike Adams, December 17 2007
(NewsTarget) Rep. Ron Paul, the only 2008 presidential candidate who supports honest health freedom reforms and the ending of Big Pharma's monopoly over medical free speech, raised more than $6 million in yesterday's record-breaking online "Boston Tea Party" event. Nearly 25,000 of the donors were new donors, indicating that Ron Paul's support base continues to rapidly expand, reaching new people who resonate with the message of genuine freedom for the American people.

 Maryland Health Officials Who Coerce Vaccinations Qualify as "Terrorists" Under New Senate LegislationBy Mike Adams, November 30 2007
As we reported yesterday, the U.S. Senate is about to vote on a bill that would criminalize the "planned use of force" to promote a political, religious or social belief. While we strongly disagree with the passage of the law, one curious effect is that it would clearly qualify Maryland's Attorney General Glenn Ivey -- the man who has threatened Maryland parents with imprisonment if they don't get their children vaccinated -- as a terrorist.
With the help of two state judges and the head of the...
 Senate Bill 1959 to Criminalize Thoughts, Blogs, Books and Free Speech Across AmericaBy Mike Adams, November 28 2007
The end of Free Speech in America has arrived at our doorstep. It's a new law called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, and it is worded in a clever way that could allow the U.S. government to arrest and incarcerate any individual who speaks out against the Bush Administration, the war on Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is now being...
 Scientist claims ownership over synthetic life formsBy David Gutierrez, November 20 2007
(NewsTarget) Craig Venter, the scientist who unsuccessfully attempted to map the human genome for profit, has applied for the first ever patent on a human-made life form. Venter has submitted his application at more than 100 national patent offices.
In fact, the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Maryland has said it will apply for patents around the world for a species that it calls Mycoplasma laboratorium. The institute claims to have created bacteria from artificially synthesized DNA,...
 Is Bush Administration Planning Martial Law? Congressman DeFazio Denied Access to Government DocumentsBy David Gutierrez, October 27 2007
(NewsTarget) The Bush Administration shocked lawmakers and analysts two months ago when it denied a member of the House Homeland Security Committee permission to examine classified plans for maintaining the functioning of the government in the event of a major natural disaster or terrorist attack.
In order to alleviate concerns that the White House has plans for martial law, Representative Peter DeFazio, (D-OR), asked to see the plan for government continuity. As a member of the Homeland Security...
 Airport security is a joke; backpacks carried right in with zero scrutinyBy David Gutierrez, October 16 2007
(NewsTarget) An investigative report by ABC 15 in Phoenix, Arizona has revealed that for 4.5 hours every day, anyone with an employee badge was being allowed into supposedly secure areas of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport without a search. In response, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced a tightening of the airport's security policy on July 23.
Sky Harbor is operated by the Phoenix city government. Until July 23, TSA officials were...
 Air traveler choked to death in police custody at Phoenix airport after being handcuffed, detainedBy Mike Adams, October 2 2007
(NewsTarget) Arguing with airport security officials is now apparently risky to your life. Carol Anne Gotbaum, a 45-year-old mother who was arrested at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport after becoming irate over a missed flight, was later found dead in a law enforcement holding cell. The official story now appearing in the mainstream media -- for those people gullible enough to believe it -- is that the woman choked herself to death with her own handcuffs even though her hands were cuffed...
 Newspapers continue shift towards Internet as print business fadesBy David Gutierrez, September 26 2007
(NewsTarget) U.S. newspaper publishers are shifting their focus away from print subscribers and toward the Internet as print advertising revenue continues to fall, according to presentations made at the annual Mid-Year Media Review, hosted by the Newspaper Association of America.
"The Internet is no longer an add-on," said Reid Ashe, chief operating officer of Media General. "For many applications such as breaking news or increasingly, classified advertising, it's now our primary medium."

 Oil industry admits world faces difficult future of scarce energy, high pricesBy David Gutierrez, September 25 2007
(NewsTarget) Recently the National Petroleum Council released a 476-page study, "Facing Hard Truths About Energy," which outlined the council's predictions for the future of the energy industry.
The report, which includes recommendations on government and industry policy, was compiled with the assistance of 350 participants, 19 governments and suggestions from an additional 1,000 people. In contrast with the 2001 federal energy task force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, the study's list...
 Book review: The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler reveals a bleak future after peak oilBy Mike Adams, July 20 2007
"The Long Emergency," by James Howard Kunstler, is a fascinating and timely book that explores the ramifications of the dwindling supply of fossil fuels on our planet. The book begins with a discussion of the concept of "peak oil" -- a term that indicates we've nearly reached the peak production of fossil fuels for energy. After the peak oil point is reached, oil production will decline and the price of oil will naturally rise.
Kunstler points out that not only has oil likely reached a peak in...
 How to better prepare yourself and your family against climate change, natural disasters and the post-oil economy (opinion)By Mike Adams, July 20 2007
I've been a proponent of personal preparedness for many years. "Preparedness" simply means having some backup supplies on hand to help you get through unexpected events or hard times, and over the last decade, we've seen numerous examples of why preparedness is so important: Hurricane Katrina, power grid blackouts, ice storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, riots, nuclear accidents, terrorist events and freak weather patterns.
In every case, those individuals who were prepared fared much better than the...
 Corporate greed, corruption, and the coming collapse of America as we know itBy Mike Adams, June 22 2007
The U.S. government, once crafted as a system that would serve the interests of the people, has devolved into a system of plutocracy where corporations control both the government and the people. Virtually every government regulatory department, for example, is now run by the corporations it is supposed to be regulating. Just look at the FDA, USDA, FTC, FCC, NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) and most other government regulatory bodies and you'll find a room full of politicians and bureaucrats who...
 Bush Administration announces effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through "wishful thinking" (satire)By Mike Adams, June 1 2007
(NewsTarget Satire) In a significant nod toward pro-environment politics, the Bush Administration yesterday announced a major initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging everybody to engage in "Wishful Thinking" to cut emissions without harming the economy. "Wishing for change is far more important than actually cutting greenhouse emissions," Bush said in a prepared statement. "We urge all Americans to take up Wishful Thinking to lower CO2 emissions and, if necessary, to even use...
 The new rules of imperialism: Economic warfare, consumer products and disease exportsBy Mike Adams, May 29 2007
History tells us that imperialist nations quite predictably invade weaker nations on a regular basis... especially when those weaker nations happen to be standing on valuable natural resources like oil or uranium. Thanks to this desire for strategic control over territories, the twentieth century was the bloodiest in human history, with more people being lost to war, greed and conquest than during any single century in recorded history (including the centuries spanning Greek and Roman civilizations...
 Whole Foods, funny math and the five dollar avocado (satire)By Mike Adams, April 27 2007
I love Whole Foods grocery stores. I can't seem to leave the place without spending at least two hundred dollars on health food. Interestingly, that's only about one bag full of groceries from a typical Whole Foods store.
The last time I visited, I ended up buying a hundred dollars worth of raw food snacks. Thanks to Whole Foods, my monthly food bill now nearly exceeds my house payment! But I love every bite of it, and if it wasn't for this natural grocery chain being in Phoenix, I think I would...
 Home prices continue downward slide in 40 U.S. statesBy David Gutierrez, March 12 2007
(NewsTarget) The housing market continued to take a beating in the last quarter of 2006, as home sales fell in 40 states and the national median price fell by another 2.7 percent compared with the year before. Large numbers of unsold homes make it likely that the depression in price will continue.

 Astronauts urge U.N. to protect Earth from doomsday asteroidsBy David Gutierrez, March 8 2007
(NewsTarget) A group of former astronauts and cosmonauts is urging the United Nations to adopt procedures designed to protect the Earth from asteroid collisions.

 U.S. authorities to start massive DNA gathering from populationBy David Gutierrez, February 15 2007
(NewsTarget) The federal government is finalizing rules that would encourage the collection of DNA samples from everyone arrested by federal authorities, as well as any illegal immigrant detained by federal agents for any reason.
A little-noticed amendment to last month's renewal of the Violence Against Women Act authorized this new, sweeping DNA collection policy. The amendment, introduced by Arizona Senator Jon Kyl and Texas Senator John Cornyn, was passed on a voice vote, meaning that no legislators...
 NY lawmaker wants to ban use of cell phones and iPods in crosswalksBy David Gutierrez, February 9 2007
(NewsTarget) New York state senator Carl Kruger announced on February 6 that he intends to introduce a bill that would ban people from using cellular phones, MP3 players or other wireless data devices such as Blackberrys, while crossing streets in Buffalo or New York City.
Three pedestrians in Kruger's district have been killed since September after stepping into traffic while distracted by such devices. In one case, bystanders allegedly shouted at the victim to "watch out," but were not heard...
 Police using helmet cameras to record, reduce violent crimeBy David Gutierrez, February 6 2007
(NewsTarget) Police in the British city of Plymouth have announced that affixing small digital cameras to the side of officers' helmets has drastically increased officers' ability to arrest and prosecute perpetrators of violent crime.
During the first 10 weeks of the pilot project, arrests for violent crime in the test area increased by 85 percent. This includes a 40 percent increase in the detection of such crimes and a 20 percent increase in the arrest and prosecution of suspects. Police also...
 Battery display devices mistaken for terrorist bombsBy Mike Adams, February 1 2007
Boston is in an uproar this week after stupid people dialed 911 upon spotting "threatening looking" devices planted in various locations around the city. What was threatening about the devices? They had wires and batteries.
Oh yeah, and they were advertising the cartoon character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Scary, huh?
Thanks to over five years of fear mongering by the Bush Administration and Fox News, Americans believe they live in a country under siege by terrorists who use size "D" batteries...

 The Coming Financial Collapse of America (and Why Today's Market Bloodbath is Only a Small Taste of Things to Come...)By , January 22 2008
(NewsTarget) Americans have always been fond of the idea of getting rich without effort by putting their money in things that produce no profits and then magically being able to ride those investments, milking them for spending cash that supports a drunken spending lifestyle. From 1998 - 2001, that profit vehicle was, of course, dot-com stocks. From 2001 to the present, it's been housing. Never mind the fact that a house produces nothing real, earns nothing real and actually loses utility with each...
 Thinking For Yourself Is Now A CrimeBy Paul Craig Roberts, January 7 2008
What was the greatest failure of 2007? President Bush's "surge" in Iraq? The decline in the value of the US dollar? Subprime mortgages? No. The greatest failure of 2007 was the newly sworn in Democratic Congress.
The American people's attempt in November 2006 to rein in a rogue government, which has committed the US to costly military adventures while running roughshod over the US Constitution, failed. Replacing Republicans with Democrats in the House and Senate has made no difference.

Ron Paul, the MahatmaBy Gary North, July 7 2007
I was watching Gandhi recently, as I do every year or two. It is inspirational to me. It tells the story of a man who could not possibly win the battles he chose to fight, but did anyway. There is no doubt that it is a propaganda film, funded in part by the Indian government. It scrambles his chronology. But, on the whole, it got the story right. Mohandas K. Gandhi, a lawyer, was able to transform Indian politics. He did this through force of moral character and shrewd tactics that made every official...

By the year 2013, nearly every American will be outfitted with a new digital ID card, according to a recent Bush administration announcement. Opponents of this legislation have been advising states to publicly oppose a system that is insufficient in protecting privacy and strips people of their identity.

 Mortgage meltdown kicks in as sub-prime lenders collapse under weight of bad loansBy Christian Evans, March 20 2007
Federal regulators are currently investigating the policies of a large number of major U.S. Lenders - including New Century Financial Corporation and Fremont General Corporation - to determine whether impropriety was used in their business practices. National home loan policies are also being reviewed in an attempt to limit risks to both the borrower and the lending institution.

 Identity theft loophole exploits postal change-of-address forms to steal mail, credit cards and personal documentsBy M.T. Whitney, February 20 2007
(NewsTarget) The latest trick in identity theft: divert the mail by sending it elsewhere through a change-of-address form.
It's possible for criminals to have the post office send the mail to their doorstep, even while the real addressee is sitting at home wondering where their mail is, a recent investigation by television station WCBS of New York shows.
WCBS found that that it required no ID, no real hoops to jump through and not much gumption to file a fake change-of-address card.

 New mind probe technology could be used to interrogate the publicBy M.T. Whitney, February 12 2007
(NewsTarget) A new technology that scans the brain to read people's minds, giving details of what actions a person is thinking about, makes some critics wonder if neuroscience has gone too far.
The prescient technology raises ethical questions whether it can be used to eavesdrop on people's thoughts, or incriminate them for actions they have simply thought about.
Primarily of interest is the medial prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that changes in activity while a person is thinking,...
 A call to end DRM restrictions on legally purchased music comes from unlikely source: the CEO of AppleBy M.T. Whitney, February 11 2007
(NewsTarget) An open letter posted Tuesday on Apple, Inc.'s web site from CEO Steve Jobs called for music purchased online to be freed from Digital Rights Management file encryption.
Jobs said that music companies require the use of DRM in music purchased online for any online store that sells music downloads, but Apple would embrace the removal of DRM "in a heartbeat," allowing users to use the music they download any way they like, which is currently not the case.
His company, Apple, is the...
 President Bush proposed budget for 2008 asks for even more spending on military operationsBy M.T. Whitney, February 8 2007
(NewsTarget) President Bush sent a proposed $2.90 trillion spending budget to Congress Monday, including asking for a large increase in military spending to support the war on terror and the war in Iraq.
The next action with the proposed budget is that it will be debated in Congress, now controlled by the Democratic Party. It is the first year that the president has sent a budget to a Congress run by the opposing party of the political duopoly.

 The empire turns its guns on the citizenryBy Paul Craig Roberts, January 31 2007
In recent years, American police forces have called out SWAT teams 40,000 or more times annually. Last year did you read in your newspaper or hear on TV news of 110 hostage or terrorist events each day? No. What then were the SWAT teams doing? They were serving routine warrants to people who posed no danger to the police or to the public.
