Matt Agorist/ActivistPost In the State’s relentless pursuit to scrutinize and control every citizen, including monitoring, tracking, and especially taxing their income, untraceable physical cash has long been a shield against such tyranny. However, thanks to Donald Trump’s nomination to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, anonymous purchases, deposits, and savings with cash could soon be a thing of the past. In November 2017, central banking proponent and Keynesian economist Marvin Goodfriend was nominated by President Donald Trump to fill one of the vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. He was then confirmed by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee to advance. Goodfriend ...
Jake Anderson One of the creepiest parts of the film Jurassic Park is when the velociraptor uses his witch-like claws to manipulate the door handle and enter the room where the children are hiding. Now imagine a headless dog robot doing that and being extremely persistent at it for 30 minutes. That’s what the latest video by Boston Dynamics demonstrates as the SpotMini robot returns to the limelight. [youtube]https://youtu.be/aFuA50H9uek[/youtube] Boston Dynamics, which was previously owned by Google but has since been acquired by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, has made headlines before with a humanoid robot called Atlas that can do backflips and somersaults.

Carey Wedler/ActivistPost In response to last week’s shooting at a Florida high school, the state’s governor recently released his plans to make schools safer. Many of his proposals will indisputably serve to further turn schools into prisons, a trend that has been on the rise for years. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Governor Rick Scott’s proposals include: — $450 million to put a law enforcement officer in every public school, and 1 officer for every 1,000 students by 2018 school year… — Increased Safe Schools funding to provide metal detectors, bulletproof glass, steel doors.

RT Coinbase, a US-based cryptocurrency service, has informed its users that it must provide the data of thousands of them to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The request was part of a probe into alleged tax evasion.

Waking Times Scientists are continuously discovering new ways that cannabis can benefit human health. Typically, researchers publish these discoveries in peer-reviewed journals. Yet, most cannabis research never makes its way into mainstream news. In the public eye, these studies go unnoticed. Here are five examples of cannabis research that warrant our attention. 1. Cannabis May be a Potential Alternative to Opioids Opioids have recently received a fair share of scrutiny, and for a good reason. Thomas Gilson, the medical examiner for Cuyahoga County, Ohio, stated: “If you look at how many people die in the country from opiate overdose, we’re looking at the same number of casualties as ...
CollectiveEvolution Facebook has been under fire all year as a new change to their algorithm will again take pages and businesses out of the newsfeed and replace them with more ‘friends’ posts. A move that apparently users asked for even though Facebook has provided no proof of that. In fact, Facebook is the only one set to gain from this move as now businesses will have to pay even more to reach an audience they worked so hard to build. Further, users will no longer see any of the content they took the time and energy to say they wanted to see. This leaves Facebook ...
CollectiveEvolution Being vegan, or if you prefer to not have the label but following a plant-based diet – is no longer taboo or a laughing matter. The results are in and more and more people across the globe are choosing an animal free diet. In the U.S. alone, veganism has risen by 600% since 2014. Why this has happened can be attributed to a number of different reasons. An increased awareness towards the atrocities that are taking place on factory farms. Compassion towards animals. A drive for increased personal health and wellness. A growing concern towards the environmental destruction caused by meat eating. A shift in consciousness within ourselves that leads to greater connection to ...

Yournewswire “Evil Monsanto business practices” are depopulating the planet, “one species at a time,” according to Morgan Freeman, who warns that action must be taken against the company if the human race is to survive. Not only has Monsanto gained a monopoly over the world’s food supply, but according to Morgan Freeman, its products are causing devastation among humans, wildlife and the environment in general. “Monsanto are actively destroying the honeybee so they can play God and try to rewrite the rules of nature, all for the purpose of greed,” explained Mogran Freeman, who pointed out that genetically modified organisms (GMOs), Monsanto’s bread ...

MOTHERBOARD If you’re a customer of T-Mobile in the United States, you may have recently gotten a somewhat alarming, and perhaps confusing, text message. A screenshot of a text message alert T-Mobile has been sending customers in the last few weeks This is a legitimate, real T-Mobile alert, the company confirmed to Motherboard on Monday. A company representative said T-Mobile is messaging its “entire post-paid customer base,” but some customers may have yet to receive the alert as “that takes time and can’t be done all at once.” “Phone number port out scam” is an obscure term, but it refers to a relatively simple, ...
There are numerous wonderful resources on (but not restricted to) the web regarding CBD, the major phytocannabinoid which has added a whole extra dimension to cannabis-related studies, medication, and dietary supplementation. On the other hand, as is often the case with a novel matter, there is also a great deal of misinformation regarding its benefits. Our aim is to clarify the place that cannabidiol (CBD) currently holds from a scientific, legal (official or politically-sanctioned), terminological points of view and its main benefits. This will only be the build-up to the discussion around the much-touted health benefits of CBD – proven, presumed, ...
Yournewswire Protestors have violently blocked Rihanna from entering the West African nation of Senegal because of her “affiliation with the Illuminati,” according to reports. The protests turned “violent“, according to local reports, as protestors claimed Rihanna has aligned herself with the Illuminati, a shadowy group of global elites working to establish a New World Order. The protestors are backed by politicians and religious leaders in the country who have also been working to block Rihanna’s visit to Senegal, claiming that she flaunts her membership of the Illuminati. “Rihanna doesn’t hide it: she’s part of the Illuminati, a branch of Freemasons,” Senegalese spokesman Cheikh Oumar Diagne told the ...
Derrick Broze/Activistpost In another example of the growing use of surveillance technology by the United States government, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency now has access to a nationwide license plate recognition database. Last week The Verge reported that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency now has access to a nationwide license plate recognition database after finalizing a contract with the industry’s top license plate data collection company.

BlacklistedNews Dr. George Land and Beth Jarman were commissioned by NASA to help the space agency identify and develop creative talent. The two were tasked to research school children in an attempt to identify creative individuals from which the agency could pick to help with their many products. In a recent TED talk, Land described his team’s surprising findings on the education system which are nothing short of shocking. It seems American schoolchildren lose their ability to think creatively over time. As students enter their educational journey, they retain most of their abilities to think creatively. In other words, children are born ...
SKY NEWS A potentially hazardous chemical used in certain plastic food packaging has been found in the digestive system of 86% of teenagers who took part in a recent study. The University of Exeter research looked at Bisphenol A (BPA), which makes plastics flexible but strong. Some studies have suggested that the chemical could be linked to breast cancer and heart disease and there have been calls for it to be banned. However, others believe that stance is misleading. BPA, which has been used since the 1960s, is often found in the white lining inside tinned foods, drinks cans and bottle tops. Even till ...

Christina Sarich, /Waking Times The matrix we live in is designed to rip all hope, power, and special talent from your conscious awareness. If you realized, no, remembered your true Self, this unfavorable reality would dissipate in a heartbeat. You’d either find yourself living in another timeline, in a different Universe, or you’d be living here and now, but under drastically different circumstances. If we really are living in a simulation, as even people like Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson attest, then that means we can change the computer program – our consciousness, and discover our latent gifts to truly topple the ‘ruling’ regime. Elon Musk and ...
