We’re not saying this absolutely HAS happened but with the explosion of genetically modified crops (GMO), get ready for tomorrow’s headline – “GMO Crops Out of Control in American Food Supply.” Here’s how it could happen.

Modern survivalists should care that some estimates put the amount of food on our grocery shelves with genetically engineered ingredients at 70-75%. In this case, ignorance is not bliss.

As years rolled past, their remains were concentrated, compressed, and magically transformed into gas and oil. Since there were, obviously, a limited number of dinosaurs, one could deduce the same limitations [...]

Fox News recently interviewed Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a leading European health authority as saying the swine flu was a result of Big Pharma’s “campaign of panic” that put pressure on the little old World Health Organization to declare a pandemic (outbreak of a disease over a large geographical area). Wodarg went on to call swine [...]

Are conspiracy theorists onto something sinister or have they simply smoked too much funny weed? It seems there is a concentrated effort to brand those who subscribe to alternate beliefs regarding the world’s power structure as a kooky bunch, but are they?

It’s only a matter of time before the great breakthrough happens – cheap energy for everyone. It’ll be the end of high gas prices and usher in a new age where the rest of the world can finally tell OPEC to go pound sand.

Oh, come now. We all knew it was going on. It can’t help but happen when the government puts itself in charge of health care. A recent article in the UK Telegraph yanked the cover off this disturbing trend – terminally ill patients are having food and water withheld so they’ll die sooner.
