by John Timmer The Polynesians’ epic voyages of exploration and colonization across the Pacific are one of humanity’s most impressive accomplishments (even if the local bird life wasn’t likely to have enjoyed it).

John Galt Activist Post It has officially become mainstream information that if you are a non-violent lover of liberty you are the embodiment of domestic terror in the United States. Add this to the 25 reports that can put you on a terror watch list for innocuous activities such as being a martial artist, or using cash for anything at all, and that is a LOT of information that needs to be warehoused and analyzed.

By Tom Philpott More than two decades ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted GMOs “generally regarded as safe” status, meaning the industry had no obligation to conduct long-term safety studies.

The French study — the most comprehensive GMO safety assessment ever conducted — highlights that concern.

When gold prices hit $1,917.50 an ounce on August 23, 2011, a gain of more than $500 an ounce in less than 8 months, capping a rise over a decade from $272 at the end of December 2000, the Federal Reserve panicked.
