David Stockman: The Bubble Market is Nearing its End (Video)
Source: YouTube.com
Former White House Budget Director David Stockman contends, "We are nearing the end. I think the world economy is plunging into an unprecedented deflation recession period of shrinkage that will bring down all the markets around the world that have been vastly overvalued as a result of this massive money printing and liquidity flow into Wall Street and other financial markets."
On gold, Stockman says, "I think it's more of an insurance policy and an option on the ultimate failure of today's form of central banking. When, finally, the Keynesians, who are running all the central banks, when they are totally repudiated, I think gold will soar in value."

Cash is way more popular than stocks or bonds
Source: CNN
When investors are nervous, they flee risky assets like stocks for the safety of cash. That's exactly what's been happening lately. Since July 1, cash and money market funds have easily been the world's most popular asset class, attracting $208 billion of inflows, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
By comparison, investors have poured a relatively paltry $7 billion into stocks and yanked $46 billion from bonds.

COMMENT: If you don't yet understand how ridiculous our "monetary system" is, read Dishonest Money, for free, here: http://stopthelie.com/dishonest-money.html
If you DO already understand, then ask yourself a simple question: Given the current mess the FED has created, how long before there is another major crash? Is it worth keeping your money invested (with a "best-case scenario" of tiny returns), when the next downturn could wipe out 20 percent or more of your money?
Getting back into cash isn't abut making money, it's about protecting the money you already have. Until they start another round of "stimulus," the odds of a large move down seem far more likely than even a small move up.

Tumors liquefied using sound waves
Source: NaturalNews.com
--In histotripsy, ultrasound-induced vibration leads to the production of bubbles formed from dissolved gases. If the vibration continues at high enough intensities, the bubbles eventually collapse, release a shock wave that can completely liquefy cells. A series of these collapses (known as inertial cavitation) can destroy a vast section of tissue, such as a tumor. Scientists can accelerate the process by injecting microbubbles into the tissue before the procedure.
Studies have shown that histotripsy can totally liquefy tumors, and can do so with remarkable precision and minimal impact on healthy surrounding tissue.

Flint's water crisis isn't a failure of austerity. It's a failure of government.
Source: TheWeek.com
--Residents started complaining about the taste and color of the water right after the switch in April 2014. The city denied anything was wrong, but later discovered that the water contained a higher-than-recommended concentration of TTHM (trihalomethanes) — a byproduct that is generated when too much chlorine is required to disinfect the water. This, along with some other issues, prompted General Motors to quit the Flint water system after its auto parts started corroding. Yet Democratic Flint Mayor Dayne Walling was still telling residents the water was safe, even advising them that buying bottled water would be "wasting their precious money."
After the initial botch up, one would think the authorities would have woken up, especially since these early problems were a harbinger of lead poisoning, among the worst possible things that can happen to a water system. That's not because the Flint River itself contains lead. It's because when acidic, chlorinated water flows through pipes, it destroys their coating, allowing lead to leach in. This is a totally avoidable problem whose cure was not necessarily to return to more expensive Detroit water. Rather, it was to simply add phosphorous to the water, something that could be done for as little as $50,000 annually, well within the means even of a cash-strapped city, sources knowledgeable about the problem maintain.

COMMENT: We've been filtering our tap water (used for drinking, cooking, coffee, etc.), for more than a decade now. If you're ready to start doing the same, I highly recommend going with a filtration system that removes fluoride too.
ProPur makes a simple system (no priming, topside filters)

Berkey makes a more complicated system (top and bottom filters required, filters must be primed prior to use)

Court rules Michigan has no responsibility to provide quality public education
Source: ChicagoDefender.com
In a blow to schoolchildren statewide, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled on Nov. 7 the State of Michigan has no legal obligation to provide a quality public education to students in the struggling Highland Park School District.
A 2-1 decision reversed an earlier circuit court ruling that there is a "broad compelling state interest in the provision of an education to all children." The appellate court said the state has no constitutional requirement to ensure schoolchildren actually learn fundamental skills such as reading — but rather is obligated only to establish and finance a public education system, regardless of quality.

COMMENT: Repeat:
Something this absurd can only exist through the magic of government; where "customers" are forced to pay, and then have no choice but accept what they're given.

Truth in Media: CDC, Vaccines and Autism (Video)
Source: TruthInMedia.com
For over two years, Truth In Media has explored the allegations of Dr. William Thompson, a CDC scientist who came forward in 2014, hired a whistleblower attorney, and claimed that important data regarding a study on vaccines and autism was eliminated.
Thompson's claims have led to a divide among Americans, with some believing that Thompson's allegations are credible and should be investigated further, and others convinced that the documents Thompson handed over mean absolutely nothing. In December 2015, Ben Swann was the first journalist to obtain the documents from Congressman Bill Posey.

COMMENT: Many people see the CDC as a final arbiter of truth; a "gold standard" of scientific integrity. The idea that a tiny group of individuals within the CDC could (and would) manipulate "the truth" seems ridiculous to the average citizen, and that's why this story is so important. It goes beyond the issue of vaccines. It highlights how easily "the gospel," intended for mass consumption and reiteration, can be fabricated. It highlights the danger of believing that others can be trusted to do your reasoning for you.
