Young Turks has totally blown any illusion I had:
I found a wiki on In-Q-Tel here.
Needless to say, I’m a little freaked out right now. This is just absolutely nuts. Who does this?? Who is so paranoid that they have to spy on every single American–while breaking the law themselves?! Irony is totally lost on these paranoid folks. Who gave you the right to do this? Not I.
And these are just short-term animal feeding studies… because nearly two decades after genetic engineered ingredients have been present in the majority of processed foods found in your grocery store, NO long term human health studies have ever been performed.
Emily Waltz explained it back in 2009, in her article published in Nature Biotechnology: “the crop industry’s strong-arm tactics and close-fisted attitude to sharing seeds is holding back independent research and undermining public acceptance of transgenic crops.” (Read the full article here.)
Scientific American magazine agreed: “Agritech companies have given themselves veto power over the work of independent…

Not only does a Tv set now have cameras in them, according to this, they also have microphones. And don’t think for a second that it’s just Samsung doing this, folks. What’s really disturbing is there is no way to disconnect them.
Center for Food Safety has this up on signing a petition for Congress to stop bending to the food manufacturers’ associations promoting this bill.
It’s keeping people in the dark about what is in their food. The public has a right to know what is in their food and the food manufacturers have an obligation to provide that information.
As the CFS states, they are not going to voluntarily put this on the labels. We have seen in California and Oregon how dirty they fight to keep from putting the ingredients on the label. Voluntary isn’t in their vocabulary.
After several decades, Teach For America, a program that sends inexperienced teachers (typically only 5 weeks of summer training) before they are shipped off to teach on a temporary basis (primarily) in America’s toughest schools, is facing some headwind. Alumni are increasingly speaking out against the organization, many of whom who joined Teach For America with the right intentions. I suspect the high turnover at Teach For America’s internal administrative offices may also be related to similar epiphanies, but this I cannot confirm. For the last 8 years, I have taken calls from reporters who have puff pieces headed for print that extolled the virtues and soaring rhetoric of Teach For America— even more so at the start of each school year.

The officer was using an illegal maneuver because….Garner was arguing with them. Garner’s “crime” was selling cigarettes to support himself and his family. I can find no fault in that. And the worst part is that he did not have cigarettes on him at the time of this incident. WTH?
This would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic. Humans bring animals in for their own use….animals do something to inconvenience humans. Humans shoot animals. Disgusting.
Evil. Just plain evil. He should never walk free again. Cruelty to animals is only the beginning of his depravity.
