13 Nullification Bills Move Forward this Week, 3 Signed into Law
Source: TenthAmendmentCenter.com
"The Right to Try Act is a no-brainer," said Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center. "When someone is on their deathbed, the fact that FDA regulations would let them die rather than try, has got to be one of the most inhumane policies of the federal government. Every state should nullify the FDA like this."

Emanuel Agrees To $5.5 Million Police Torture Reparations Fund
Source: CBS
--Anthony Holmes, who testified against Burge at the federal trial that led to Burge's conviction for lying about torture, has said Burge interrogated him in 1973, shocked him three times with a homemade electrical device, and suffocated him with a bag until he confessed to a murder he did not commit.
Holmes spent 30 years in prison for the killing, before he was released, but was unable to sue for damages, because the statute of limitations had long since passed.
--The city already has spent more than $20 million defending Burge, his detectives, and former Mayor Richard M. Daley against lawsuits stemming from torture allegations. The city also has spent approximately $100 million to settle lawsuits stemming from police torture committed by Burge and his detectives in the 1970s and 1980s.

Saudi Connection to 9/11: FBI, Bush and Obama All Covered It Up (Video)
Source: RealClearPolitics.com
Former head of the Senate intelligence committee and former two-term governor of Florida Bob Graham says that the FBI is covering up knowledge of connections between the Saudi royal family and al-Qaeda.

COMMENT: This information has been known for a long time, but it's finally starting to gain some traction.
Assuming the evidence of Saudi guilt is clear, you really have to ask yourself:
Why would US policy makers, while claiming to "protect us from terrorism," choose to PROTECT those that facilitated the 9/11attacks? The "cover up" alone makes them an accessory to the crime...but I suspect that "covering up" the Saudi government's guilt is just the tip of the iceberg. (Perhaps our policy makers don't want anyone "pulling the Saudi thread,"for fear of where it will lead back to.)

Monsanto Profits Fall Another 15% In April
Source: NaturalSociety.com
Monsanto is continuing to lose profits into the second quarter of 2015, shedding an exceptional 15% profit amid falling GMO seed sales — even more than most experts projected.
In fact, many backers were absolutely certain that Monsanto would regain its footing after losing millions in last year's fourth quarter. Some economists believed that Monsanto's 'tried and true' strategy of pushing GMO seeds on farmers would sustain them into the first quarter of 2015. Before the latest announcement of financial loss, I predicted that Monsanto would in fact continue to lose money, as both the agricultural industry and consumers at large take a major stand against anything to do with the company:

Comedian John Oliver Interviews Edward Snowden (Video)
Source: HBO - YouTube
There are very few government checks on what America's sweeping surveillance programs are capable of doing. John Oliver sits down with Edward Snowden to discuss the NSA, the balance between privacy and security, and dick-pics.
Watch video at: https://youtu.be/XEVlyP4_11M?t=10m33s
COMMENT: I set the video above to skip the first 10.5 minutes (basically just Oliver introducing his audience to the "Snowden" topic with jokes mixed in). Be sure to rewind the video if you want to see the entire piece.

Untold History of the US: Bush and Obama - Age of Terror (Video)
Source: Showtime / Youtube
The meaning of events up to today. Obama and the destiny of the American Empire. Directed and narrated by Oliver Stone.
Watch video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6TGkpi_vVE
COMMENT: Editor's note: As of this post, I've only watched episode #10 entitled: "Bush & Obama: Age of Terror." It definitely presents a lot of really disturbing facts that are worth revisiting. The documentary makes the common mistake of blaming too much on "Bush and Obama" (two puppets beholden to their "advisers") and it repeats some commonly accepted, but almost certainly untrue, narratives like "Bin Laden was killed and dumped in the ocean," but it's still worth watching.
I do plan on checking out the other episodes. If you'd like to do the same, and if you'd like to make sure the creators are compensated for their work, the entire series is available at Amazon (links below).
