Judge Napolitano brilliantly sums up the concern over Hillary’s emails. He says the case against her is overwhelming, damning, and grave. At the core of the issue is that Hillary says she never received or sent information marked as ‘classified’. That is a word game and cunning deception. What she did receive and send were documents marked as ‘above classified’ and ‘top secret’, which makes the negligence even worse. Fox News 2016 Jan 20 (Story)

US: This is for those who still believe that their government is here to help them. Journalist David Knight examines a video made at a going-away party for Mary Martin, the Mojave National Preserve Superintendent. Speakers joke about stealing land worth $40 million and paying the owners a mere $2.5 million. They laugh about the huge amount of private land they have confiscated. They acknowledge being perceived as the bad guys but, as collectivists, they believe they are the good guys because they are abolishing private property one parcel at a time.

There are many triggers for cancer, but sugar is one of the most prevalent. Sugar and overeating cause mitochondrial dysfunction, which can lead to DNA damage and result in cancer.

The gap between rich and poor is widening. The 62 richest people in the world own the same as the poorest half of the entire planet’s population. The wealth of the 62 richest increased by more than half a trillion dollars over the last six years, while the wealth of the poorest 3.6 billion people fell by a trillion dollars. [It is popular to blame capitalism for this, but it is happening in a world in which all governments and economic systems are collectivist. True capitalism has been dead since World War II.] RT 2016 Jan 18 (Story)

An amazing statement from Alan Greenspan. Here is a 2015 video recording in which the former head of the Federal Reserve, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, praises gold as a premier currency that no fiat currency can match, not even the US dollar. Why? Because it has intrinsic value. Curiously (not really) the CFR deleted this statement from the printed transcript of his remarks. CFR posted 2016 Jan 16 (Story)

Two teams of scientists from UC Berkeley and MIT are competing for a patent on new gene-editing technology. Bill Gates and Google have raised $100 million to invest in an IPO offering of Editas, a gene-editing company that uses a technique to directly cut and paste new DNA into living cells. Gene editing can be used to change genes in any living thing, including humans. This could lead to cures for diseases, climate-proof food crops, and other science-fiction outcomes that are untested, irreversible, and highly dangerous. At present, there is no significant public pushback, so it is coming whether we like it or not. Business Insider posted 2016 Jan 16 (Story) (Cached)
