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 was just browsing around the internet when I googled a question that had popped into my head: Is propaganda legal in the United States of America? The answer was nothing, but absolutely shocking. Here's the details: "On 12/29/12, President Obama signed HR 4310, the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act. Section 1078 (thomas.loc. gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.4310:) of the bill authorizes the use of propaganda inside the US, which had previously been banned since 1948 when the Smith-Mundt Act was passed." I can't believe that from 1948-2012 propaganda was banned, and Obama legalized it. For what...

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...

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...

A newly released email is showing Lois Lerner in fact was "warning" other IRS cohorts involved in the targeting scandal to be careful about what they write !!!! Not because of any legal or general ethical reasons of course. But to dodge potential exposures of...

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....

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.

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.

The popular belief that a group of about half a million people crossed the Red Sea never happened. But the crossing of a drained field connected to Gosen's flood reservoirs during the annual Monsoon flooding of the Nile COULD very well have happened exactly as it is written. And the Exodus story doesn't say "Red Sea", but...

Muslims/Jews, you are both wrong. You both engage in murder, torture and terror. You both act like children and when told to stop you both use the same excuse " He hit me first". Republicans/Democrats, you are both wrong. You both,lie,cheat, and steal. You use non-issues and lies to drive people apart to further your own agendas and line your pockets. You...

Un-freakin-real. When did it become popular to post asinine arguments in defense of random bigots whenever one of these jerks is called out for making offensive remarks publicly? (2008?) It never fails, some prominent ahole or one of his staffers tweets a bigoted sentiment or goes on some hare-brain...

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.
