Still Going On While Our Elected Officials Are Still Perfecting Spending Another Four Years Doing Nothing….Except For Corporations The world is facing an upsurge in poaching and illegal trade in wildlife. The over-exploitation of wildlife, which includes trade (legal and illegal), human-animal conflict, hunting (legal and illegal) and collection, is the second greatest threat to vertebrates. Estimating wildlife trafficking revenues, Including large illegal trade in timber and fishery resources, ranked fourth on the list of the most profitable transnational criminal activitiess after drug trafficking, counterfeits and human beings. A plague for wildlifeIllegal trade in terrestrial and marine plants and animals would yield between $7 billion and $23 billion a year. Encouraged by the lure of profit and the low legal risk involved, poachers, supported by powerful criminal organizations, are as well organized, equipped and financed as an army. They sometimes use helicopters, night vision tools and veterinary tranquilizers. These bands […]

9/11-Why Are So Many Still Bent On An Explanation For This?
HAVE THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY THEORIES REACHED THEIR PEAK? It is difficult to define the exact moment when the popularity of the 9/11 conspiracy theory reached its peak, but it must have been in 2006. If we look at its decline, however, three dates stand out: July 22, 2004, the day when the 9/11 commission released its final report , February 3, 2005, when Popular Mechanic published a 5,500-word article dismantling the allegations of the movement, and 21 August 2008, date of disclosure by the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the last part of a study of sixteen million dollars devoted to the causes of the collapse of the twin towers and a third skyscraper from the World Trade Center which was not hit by a plane. It takes more than facts to put down a conspiracy theory, of course. In many ways, the fascination with these theories has […]
The Criminal Justice System
When it comes to the criminal justice system in this country, I think we can all agree that there is a big problem. Not only are the jails and prisons filled to the brim with “criminals”, but there is also a large disconnect between crimes that get committed, the people who get caught, and the people who are set free. At the end of the day, the criminal justice system in this country is hard to understand and truly define. Crime in this country has gotten out of control, but in a roundabout, circular type of way. There are countless citizens running around shooting people in schools, at concerts, and in other public, seemingly safe, places. Then, there are people who are at the top, like business owners and CEOs of large companies who are engaging in criminal acts such as tax evasion, insider trading, and more. Lastly, there […]
Globalism, Global Elites and Global Warming
Globalization and Its Relation to Global Warming Globalism is bad in other ways. Many individuals are aware of the term global warming. Whether they hear about it from the news, or just personally witness the unusual climate changes occurring around or close to them, they encounter minute impacts of global warming daily. However, most do not really understand just how serious of an issue global warming actually is at the moment. When talking about global warming, scientists are speaking of the global warming emissions that are on a constant upward swing. These emissions cause various problems. One of the problems is an increasing global sea level. Since 1880, the sea level has increased 8 inches, an obvious impact of Global Warming. While this may not seem like a great amount, this increase causes a higher risk of flooding to coastal and low-lying properties. Another problem is rising temperatures. Global warming […]
