Packing a potentially deadly ice threat that could stretch 1,000 miles from Texas to Ohio, Winter Storm Cleon geared up Thursday to provide another shot of dangerous weather to the Plains and Midwest. "For those who use electric heat, they could be without power for several days, especially in places that are difficult to reach," said Tom Niziol, winter weather expert for The Weather Channel. "This will mean the potential for water pipes freezing and more importantly endangers people who will not be able to stay warm. Plan and prepare to hunker down." Bitterly cold temperatures prompted safety warnings for residents in the Rockies and threatened crops as far south and west as California.

US energy giant Chevron has resumed its search for shale gas in north-eastern Romania after hundreds of riot police reportedly brutally removed a bunch of villagers who had been camping out at the site protesting the company’s plan. Back in October, Chevron suspended its plans to drill an exploration well for shale gas in the village of Pungesti – which is believed to be sitting on vast reserves of the valuable natural resource. To prevent Chevron from moving on with the drilling, Pungesti villagers set up a camp in a privately-owned field next to the site where the well was planned to be installed.

 

For about six weeks the strategy seemed to work, but that changed Monday when Romanian riot police, gendarmes and firemen mobilized forces to break the protesters’ resistance. According to media reports, law enforcers descended on the area early in the morning. Using police and Chevron vehicles, they blocked the road linking the village with the city of Vaslui, and surrounded the protesters camp.

(NaturalNews) A new ecovillage in Scotland has utilized an innovative material within its structures - namely, negative carbon hemp. While most environmentally progressive buildings strive for a carbon neutral rank, these houses take eco-friendly a step further, literally pulling carbon dioxide from the air. But smart building materials aren't the only use for hemp, it's exceptionally handy in other areas as well. In fact, hemp is a wonder plant that has the potential to alleviate many of our health, financial and environmental problems across the nation, which makes the political resistance to its cultivation in the U.S. all the more perplexing.

Fracking Executive Confirms: Homeland Security Thinks Fracktivists Are Terrorists

According to comments made by Mark Grawe, Chief Operating Officer at EagleRidge Energy (EagleRidge), Denton, Texas residents who object to his company’s reckless operations way too close to their homes, schools and parks are terrorists worthy of inclusion on the Department of Homeland Security’s watch list.

 

It’s shocking to think that young families, pregnant women and retirees who don’t want to live next to a heavy industrial plant that will decrease their property value, diminish their quality of life and emit hazardous air pollutants that compromise their health would be considered terrorists. But what is more shocking is that Grawe has inside information about who is on the DHS watch list!

(NaturalNews) One of the biggest problems with Western medicine's reliance on drug-based solutions to disease is that these conventional modalities can interfere with one another, often creating new problems that require even more drug-based solutions, and so on. And a new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Science illustrates this point particularly as it pertains to cancer, the conventional treatments for which are hampered by the use of antibiotic drugs.

John Maynard was a military intelligence analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency. In the course of his 21 years career he saw evidence of the military's interest in UFOs in a variety of ways: electronic communications which did not originate from earth; military photos of UFOs. While at the DIA, he became familiar with the compartmentalization process of maintaining secrecy. He saw spy plane photos with clear UFOs in them.

Though my life is a zoo with so much to do,
I still want to be a good friend,
To do this I must remember that Love,
Is what it's about in the end.
Mercury in Sag today and Mars into Libra Saturday = things are lightening/speeding up! Get on ya horse 'n ride! It can feel like no sooner do you start getting something done and get a routine going than whoops, time for a change! The change coming up now (and for awhile) is the big WE... we are not alone, WE are creating a new paradigm together (sometimes like it or not), WE are not in a vacuum, and WE actually need each other to really make it happen. Smile and say Hola! Injoy......

Earlier in February, it was emerged that tens of new laws were sent to Prince Charles for his approval and opinion before being taken further, raising concerns that he had been intervening in the affairs of the Parliament on many occasions.

Whitehall papers also showed in January that at least 39 bills had been subject to the royal approval, with the British Queen and the Prince of Wales using their power to consent or block legislation proposed by the UK parliament in areas such as military authority, civil partnership, higher education, paternity pay and child maintenance.
