<p>Have you noticed that events have begun to accelerate?  Over the past few weeks, things have officially started to get very weird.  Chinese stocks are crashing, the Greek debt crisis is spiraling out of control, the New York Stock Exchange was down for about four hours on Wednesday thanks to a “technical glitch”, and global politicians have been acting very strangely.</p>
<p>After several years of relative calm, could it be possible that the second half of 2015 will usher in a time of chaos and confusion on a worldwide scale?  Personally, I have never been more concerned about a period of time as I am about the last six months of 2015.  And if I am right, what we have seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg.  The following are 10 very strange things that have happened in just the past few weeks…</p>
<p><strong>#1</strong> On Wednesday, the New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal were all taken down by unexpected “<a href="http://ift.tt/1O5hp1T" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">technical glitches</a>“.  Authorities are assuring us that hackers were not responsible for any of this.</p>
<p><strong>#2</strong> In China, a full-blown stock market crash is unfolding.  The Shanghai Composite Index has plummeted more than 30 percent in less than a month, and the Chinese version of the NASDAQ has dropped by more than 40 percent.  The amount of “paper wealth” that has been lost in China is 15 times greater than the GDP of Greece.</p>
<p><strong>#3</strong> Just the other day, hackers were able to hack into a German surface-to-air missile battery…</p>
<p><em>Well, this is absolutely terrifying. According to The Local, hackers attacked a GermanPatriot surface-to-air missile battery, like the one shown above, stationed along the Turkish-Syria border. The cyber attack caused the battery to carryout “unexplained” orders.</em></p>
<p><em>It’s believed that cyber attackers managed to exploit the Patriot battery in two different ways. The first exploit was through the Sensor-Shooter-Interoperability, which controls interactions between the actual, physical missile launcher and its control system, while the other was on the guidance chip. These weaknesses could have allowed the hackers to steal data or, more worryingly, actually take control of the battery.</em></p>
<p><strong>#4</strong> Earlier this week, Barack Obama told reports that “we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces“…</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p2NkjNvwuaU?feature=oembed" width="472" height="351" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>#5</strong> Just a few days ago,</p>
<p>silver coins on the exact same day that the price of silver hit a new low for 2015.  How does that make any sense?</p>
<p><strong>#6</strong> On June 30th, an unexpected blood moon was seen over a significant portion of the United States.  This also happens to be the exact day when the Supreme Court gay marriage decision came out.  The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Caiden Cowger…</p>
<p><em>On June 30, 2015, a surprise blood moon appeared in the sky, that was only seen in the United States.</em></p>
<p><em>According to the National Weather Service, large wildfires in Canada have been burning. Due to extremely high winds, smoke from these fires have traveled into the United States.</em></p>
<p><em>According to NBC-Chattanooga, “the smoke should remain in the higher atmosphere and not affect air quality, it gives the moon and sun a rosy glow.</em></p>
<p><em>Here’s what causes the effect:</em></p>
<p><em>As light from the moon or sun enters the atmosphere it gets scattered by particles like water, aerosols, and in this case smoke. Green, blue, and purple colors are sent in all directions but colors with longer wavelengths like red, orange and yellow continue through the atmosphere and remain visible to the human eye.”</em></p>
<p><strong>#7</strong> Even though NASA recently stated that they know of “no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth” and that “no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years“,  NASA has teamed up with the National Nuclear Security Administration to try to figure out a way to use nuclear weapons to destroy asteroids that are threatening our planet.  If there is no threat, why spend so much time and energy on this?</p>
<p><strong>#8</strong> A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Barack Obama has issued 19 “secret directives“.  What is Obama planning, and why won’t he let the general public know about it?</p>
<p><strong>#9</strong> This week, Pope Francis called for the creation of “a new economic and ecological world order where the goods of the Earth are shared by everyone, not just exploited by the rich.”  So exactly what would such a “world order” look like?</p>
<p><strong>#10</strong> The Greek people just overwhelmingly voted to reject austerity, so EU officials have responded by giving the Greek government a one week deadline to come to an agreement that will include even more austerity for the Greek people.  If the Greek government does not submit, EU officials are threatening them with bankruptcy, the collapse of their banking system and expulsion from the euro.</p>
<p>Things promise to only get stranger from here.  One week from today, on July 15th, a massive military exercise known as “Jade Helm” begins.  More than 1,000 members of the U.S. military will be taking part in drills that will be conducted in the states of Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, Mississippi and Florida.</p>
<p>Then in September comes the end of the Shemitah year, the fourth blood moon of this tetrad, the launch of a radical new sustainable development agenda at the United Nations that is being endorsed by the Pope, and a vote on a UN Security Council resolution that would formally establish a Palestinian state.</p>
<p>And that is just the stuff that we know about.</p>
<p>So what do you think we should expect from the</p>
<p>the U.S. Mint announced that they were sold out of American Eagle rest of this year?</p>

Federal Agent Confesses ‘We Killed Michael Jackson’

<p><strong><img alt="" class="" height="267" src="http://ift.tt/1O5hoLD" width="474" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>We have talked before about the U.S. Government’s secret mind control program named MK-ULTRA. The program had its tentacles in the music industry, and the illuminati had their sights on Michael Jackson for a long time.</strong></p>
<p>An ex government agent has come forward claiming that he was part of a plot to kill “<strong>The King of Pop</strong>” himself, Michael Jackson.</p>
<p>[SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO]</p>
<div class="td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-content_inline"></div>
<p>Michael Jackson apparently knew about this plan, and hours before his death told his former manager that a group of people wanted to get rid of him, saying “<em>It’s not the Government, it’s more than the Government</em>“.</p>
<p>According to a report from <strong><a href="http://ift.tt/1HWw2Wr" target="_blank">Neonnettle.com</a></strong>:</p>
<p>In a bid to prove this claim, a telephone recording is played of the alleged last conversation Michael had with former manager, Dieter Weisner.</p>
<p>In it he says, “I don’t know if I should tell you this. There may be a group of people, they want to get rid of me, they don’t want me here anymore.”</p>
<p>“I can’t talk about it over the phone, I don’t know what’s going to happen but I just feel . . . in my soul. Only God knows. They could shoot me, they could stab me, they could frame me and say I overdosed on DRUGS; they can do a lot of things.”</p>
<p>“It’s not the Government, it’s more than the Government. I don’t know Dieter, I don’t care . . . they can take me. I don’t even care about my life anymore; I just want my children to be OK, my angels. I want them to be safe.”</p>
<p>He disappears after rumblings of an unrecognized voice. The next day he is found dead and his doctor, Conrad Murray, is arrested for administering lethal doses of profanol.</p>
<p>LaToya Jackson, has repeatedly lobbied the claim that there were other forces at bay. Murray, she says, was the fall guy, and there were people controlling him and everything he did. Ultimately she believed ‘they’ killed him.</p>
<p>But we don’t know who “they” are. The well-formed theory is that ‘they’ whenever ‘they’ are referred to are the illuminati. The illuminati are believed to be a society that have roots in the 18th century but are still believed to exist, infiltrating powerful institutions to control the population at large in preparation for the New World Order.</p>
<p>They are popularly believed to be controlling all major musicians and in some cases Hollywood. In the video, actor Randy Quaid believed that they were out to get him, discredit him and even kill him. “Star whackers” he says, are responsible for killing Heath Ledger, Chris Penn and David Caradine.</p>
<p>For every sign that is believed to prove the Illuminati ‘s existence, there is a debunking theory – facts that can offer an explanation. The Roc sign for instance, the hand formed pyramid, held over an eye that’s supposed to represent a few ruling over many over the all-seeing eye. All the celebrities do it – Lady Gaga, Jay Z, Beyonce . . . everyone.</p>
<p>That’s the thing everyone does it, just as everyone does the peace sign. Not exactly proof of the illuminati. And when they were originally formed as a group to fight prejudice, how did they become the evil controlling and mafia type entity they are now believed to be, whacking off stars left, right and centre that has led one Quaid brother to flee to Canada.</p>
<p>Many still believe there was more to Michael Jackson’s death, and let’s face it miscarriages of justice are not exactly uncommon in the US of A, but we’re still waiting out on exactly who ‘they’ are.</p>

These Biodegradable Plates Are Made Completely From Food Waste

Disposable tableware is a major burden on the environment.

But until now, the idea of using table scraps to produce tableware has never been presented, and it’s a concept worth learning more about.<br />
To utilize leftover table scraps <em>and</em> provide consumers with a sustainable tableware options, the Italian company <a a="" href="http://ift.tt/1HAq1bB;%20and%20designer%20%3Ca%20href=" http:="" ift.tt="" milani="" sxhcg=""> partnered together to create Foodscapes.</a><br />

The biodegradable tableware is made from food scraps and includes no additives, preservatives, colorants, thickeners, correctors, <em>or</em> artificial agents.<br />
In addition, the prototypes developed to showcase the concept were made primarily out of either carrot peels or peanut shells.<br />

The <em>coolest thing</em> about the biodegradable tableware? After use, the bowls can be dissolved in water and then added to soil to enrich it, similar to compost.<br />

As many polls have reported before, 80-95%+ of Americans would like to see GMO’s labeled. With about 58% saying they would <em>avoid</em> genetically modified foods once labeled, however, it’s easy to see why biotech corporations like Monsanto are fighting so hard to keep consumers in the dark.<br />
Following is a simple breakdown of some <strong>reported polls on consumer demand for GMO labeling: </strong><br />

According to the chief commercial officer of the Ecofys energy consultancy, Kees van der Leun, a surge in wind farm installations could allow Denmark to produce half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020 – that’s only <strong>five years away</strong>.<br />
Not everyone is likely to be happy about this news, however.

Around three-quarters of Denmark’s wind capacity presently comes from onshore wind farms, which have strong government backing. One thing is for sure, the country is definitely putting the rest of the world to shame with these figures.<br />

Of the many women who went out on 7/7 for the 33% discount were two 21-year-olds, Cheyenne and Aliyah. Aliah, who is a senior at John Jay college and hopes to be a New York police officer, said the gender pay gap is something she worries about when thinking about her post-college experience.<br />
Truly, rent is not biased when it comes to gender. Why should men and women be paid differently?<br />
Said Cheyenne, “<em>My male coworker works less than me gets paid more than me.”</em>  The 21-year-old who works in retail and is studying fashion merchandising at LIM College continued, <em>“The other day, we were talking about pay and wages and he told me he gets paid more than me.”</em><br />
And these women are aware they have more than one bias working against them; both women are of African-American descent. Statistically, women of color <a 6="" href="http://ift.tt/1HXMBj0%2064%20cents%20for%20every%20$1%20earned%20by%20men%3C/a%3E.%3C/p%3E%20%3Cblockquote%20readability="> <em>“This is about equality.

The success of this evening goes to show how important of an issue gender equality is. Like gay marriage and color equality, we are entering into an era of change and acceptance.
