You have to love and respect Abby Martin, she speaks the truth. "RT: Abby Martin: News Reporter exposes Israel on live television. She did what millions didn't dare to do. Much respect. "

I hope that I have put this thread into the correct forum - if not MODS please move to where it belongs! Now before you get your panties in a twist let me explain. I do not take side with Palestine or with Israel but I have been watching the attacks from both sides for years. In this most recent skirmish over 100 deaths in Palestine and counting why? Hamas and other terrorist are cowards and the Palestine government will not expel these criminals better yet put them in jail for life for terrorism. They fire their rockets from within civilian neighborhoods at which point the Israelis can pin point exactly from where their...

Mods, not sure where this one belongs, so feel free to give a new home! This just in from Ben Swann. "An ad in the local Penny Saver in Murrieta, California caught the attention of residents today. The ad, which was put up by the Crittenton Services and Foster Family...

Morning ATS. Here's my next addition to the Bigfoot saga where thinker thunker dives into IMAX's HD capture of something big chasing down caribou. I believe this footage first appeared a couple of years ago and the general consensus among skeptics was this was a crew member with a back pack. I encourage you to look again. It really...

A 17 year old Florida teen was sentenced to 23 years in prison for fatally shooting a retired police dog during a robbery. While I have no sympathy for the teen or his codefendants I find it Ironic that cops are shooting peoples dogs at an alarming rate all over the country and nothing...

Another "law abiding gun owner" uses pre emptive self defense. Still need less gun laws? I guess this guy thought so too. I guess the pro gun crowd might say that he had every right to kill those children by virtue of him having a gun. Good job pro gun crowd, chalk this up as another win for...

I’ll begin by saying that I have nothing whatsoever against anyone smoking or otherwise ingesting marijuana. For me personally, I've never liked the experience so I have no real passion for it. The focus of this post came from the news about Washington State being the second in the union to legalize the stuff....

Origins of Separation of Church and State "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." ~First Amendment...

I was adopted when I was 4 days old. I recently had the chance to be reunited with my birth mother and my younger sister. She has a son who is 8 years old. I just returned from a 4 day stay at her house in Texas because we all wanted to be together under the same roof and visit at least once in our lifetimes....

Just came across this on my FB feed. This is insane if true!! It was spotted near Kingston Ontario, in Lake Ontario. I thought sharks could only survive in salt water, but then I started reading up about the bull shark which apparently can survive in fresh water. I wonder how it could've gotten up there??...

*This thread will be an ongoing work, and will be added to as new thoughts arise. Prologue 1.Throughout the entire discourse and dialectic of humankind, there has never been an explicit philosophy of the body. Implicitly, however, every philosophy is the philosophy of the body, for every account, interpretation, argument, creation, and discussion...

I had a write up but I deleted it because I thought I saw an anomaly in the video. Quick summary, Something destroys a log against the tree. The anomaly seems to be a quick edit at 30 sec but I'm not sure what happens there.

Okay so to put this out first. I am an atheist who does not believe in anything paranormal. Same goes for my family including grand parents, cousins etc. Okay to set the scene this up on Dartmoor which...

To me it seems illogical to think that a negative being would feed on negative energy. Speaking in eletrical terms it does not add up. It seems more likely that a being in a negative state would feed on positive energy. It also makes sense that most attachments end up draining someone of positive energy leaving...

As the internet is 75% cat jokes, 'Tis about time we make a BTS thread dedicated to our Feline overlords. Jokes, Pics, GIFs and kitteh videos I can watch all day (proud card carrying member of the CCLC) I have been known to disappear into the the kiiteh you tube abyss for over 72 hours, stopping...

Well 59 years and 7 months old. I am sharing this story with you all hoping that someone elses good fortune can offer a little hope to others. Eight months ago I moved away from the city to a small country town, I love being here and have no desire to return to suburbia in the near future to live, The chances of getting gainfull...

Same as the 'Meet God on a street corner' thread ... You are in Philadelphia walking on a sidewalk in the city and coming from the side street toward you is the Devil himself. The two of you come together on the street corner and look at each other. Before the street light...

For those who know me I have proudly served with honor as both soldier and police officer within the U.S. I am a U.S. American who lives abroad and I used to be proud of being an American but not anymore. NOT ANYMORE! "You can have it". The ENTIRE U.S. government needs to be taken down, its laws banished, the Constitution rewritten,...

You have all these bleeding hearts telling us that we are being 'mean' for not taking these disease ridden street urchins into our hearts but you tell them to take them into theirs and suddenly they go all NIMBY. What I noticed about the photo is all the graffiti on the walls. It's up as high as they can reach. White Tee shirt against the wall, oh...

Let’s face it. We are at war with one another. Maybe not through firearms or even greater weapons, but perhaps the greatest weapon of all, the mind. But weapons are being used to encourage others to change their mind. It...

As the title states, I wish to give you all a HUGE thank you for being there for me for the last few months. You all know who you are and a mere thank you is not enough. Many of you knew that my father had been seriously ill for the last 8 or 9 months. I have come here twice is search of on outlet and to ask for prayers, thoughts, or anything else you could give...

Things must be getting hot in DC. Seems like whenever there's opposition to his buddy or their plans to warp America the first thing he does is claim "racists!" If we were to believe this sorry excuse for an AG you'd think that KKK sympathizers were behind every rock and bush. Could it be that a great many people...
