Occurrences of the mosquito-born Zika virus are escalating throughout Latin America, affecting thousands of women and their unborn babies. The disease, which was first detected in the 1940s, resembles the symptoms of dengue fever including mild fever, rash and bloodshot eyes. However, it differs vastly in that it’s linked to birth defects, resulting in a […]

As my wise, old friend Bobby Buffington always says, “There’s a sign from God in every freakin’ thing.” For former insurance salesman William Koenig, the recent blizzard that swept the northeast is one such sign. Koenig (pronounced KAY-nig) writes a weekly newsletter which “focuses on world news that is biblically relevant and White House news […]

Researchers discovered genetic mutations in three generations of butterflies near Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi site, less than a year after a tsunami destroyed the power plant. These mutations appeared to have spread rapidly through subsequent generations of butterflies. Since the study, little has been reported on how radiation spewing from the power plant has reshaped […]

Nearly a year has passed since the world’s largest seed giant was forced to pay $2.4 million in restitution to farmers in seven states, following the discovery of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready wheat growing in Oregon. Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had not approved GE wheat, the finding sent shock waves through the industry, […]

Under legislation that’s expected to be proposed this week, Big Chicken could soon be held accountable for the massive amount of animal waste generated by factory farming in Maryland. It’s predicted that in less than 10 years, chicken will become the world’s most consumed meat. As a result, more and more factory farms, raising around […]

Both state and federal regulatory agencies failed the people of Flint, Michigan, by declining to take action after discovering the presence of high levels of lead in the community’s water supply. As a result, Susan Hedman, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s top Midwest official, has been forced to resign, with February 1, 2016, marking her […]

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is on the rise in America. While there are plenty of pharmaceutical drugs that medicate children with ADHD, these “medicines” do not treat the underlining cause of the disorder. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has suggested that fluoridated water is responsible for the growth of childhood mental disorders, […]

A new report on the freedom of countries around the world ranks the United States 20th, putting countries like Chile and the United Kingdom ahead of the U.S. In their periodic ranking of economic freedom, a trio of libertarian thinktanks – the Cato Institute, the Fraser Institute and the Swiss Liberales Institut – have dropped the U.S. […]

A massive ongoing gas leak in southern California is being compared to the 2011 Fukushima disaster. A recently declassified US government report found that the Fukushima catastrophe was far worse than had been originally reported, prompting many to wonder how severe the California gas leak really is. Methane, a greenhouse gas 70 times stronger than […]

It’s no secret that California is experiencing a major drought. In an effort to prevent further evaporation and keep the water clean, the sunshine state spent millions of dollars on dumping millions of plastic balls – and in turn, the hormone disrupting chemicals in those plastic balls – into California’s water supply. The Los Angeles […]

The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe demonstrated that the risks attached to nuclear power far outweigh the benefits. As a result, many Japanese citizens are now in favor of using alternative forms of energy. In an ironic twist of fate, the Japanese government has now decided to subsidize offshore wind power to aid the Fukushima recovery. The […]

In a move that further cemented Big Ag’s control over our food supply, the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich just recently granted Swiss seed giant Syngenta a patent on seedless chili peppers and their use “as fresh produce, as fresh cut produce, or for processing.” The patent also covers the plants, their cultivation, harvesting […]

Decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi power plant has been paved by more steps moving backwards than forwards. Now, it has been discovered that the total amount of groundwater tainted by radiation has increased, despite cleanup efforts. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the company in charge of the Fukushima power plant, had originally planned to reduce […]

Belgian power utility Electrabel restarted an aging nuclear reactor December 23rd following a near two-year shutdown, angering many German protesters who fear the occurrence of another Fukushima-like disaster. In 2011, an earthquake launched a tsunami that engulfed three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan. Since then, cleanup efforts have been slow and […]

Last December, scientists detected the highest levels of radiation from the Fukushima disaster taken to date, off the coast of California. Now, researchers have released the results of a new study on just how long it took those radioactive particles to plague American shores. According to the report of Canadian researchers in the Proceeding of the […]
