by Joe Martino The debate over vaccines continues as an Italian court ruled in favor of the Bocca family whose nine-year-old son became autistic after receiving the MMR (Measles/Mumps & Rubella) vaccine. I came across this case and felt it was a good idea to report on this as the vaccine debate has been a hot topic here lately.

The conspiracy business is booming.
On Tuesday, an ambitious aerospace engineer from Washington, DC began seeking donations on Indiegogo to create an “open-source drone detection system.” The Drone Shield would combine a Raspberry Pi, a signal processor, a microphone, and analysis software to scan for specific audio signatures and compare them against what known drones sound like (because obviously a Predator drone is going to sound very different from a small quadcopter.)
Israeli sources confirm that the Air Force has conducted an airstrike on Syrian territory. Anonymous officials said the strikes targeted a shipment of advanced missiles. The unnamed officials told AP and Reuters the target weapons were not chemical, but were bound for Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement and were sophisticated enough to prompt the Israeli strike on early Friday.

Does Clarence Thomas think Obama’s presidency was “approved by the elites?” The Supreme Court Justice suggested as much during an April 9 interview with CSPAN, when asked if he was surprised to see a black President in his lifetime.
The world’s most popular Bitcoin exchange is being sued for $75 million by a Washington state startup that says a contract between the two digital currency companies has been breached.

Hazmat teams are trying to contain a massive California wildfire that is threatening 2,000 homes.

We knew distrust of government was high. But a new poll shows that suspicion reaching new levels.

To understand the price action in gold and government bonds it helps to compare it to what is called ‘price tagging’ in some circles. And I’ll get to the definition of this in a minute. Focusing on gold and silver: the way it works is this, whenever real cash buyers emerge for gold and silver in India, Russia, China, and amongst hard money advocates in the West – Wall St. and the City of London dump hundreds of tons of ‘naked-shorts’ on various futures exchanges (counterfeit futures contracts) that kills the price in the short term.
