For many years, rumors have circulated regarding the U.S. government’s involvement in an active cover-up of a sinister connection between Saudi Arabia and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In fact, 28 redacted pages from a congressional intelligence report are said to contain damning information that implicates the Saudis in the 2001 mass murder of American citizens.

Scientists are reporting the first clear evidence that muscle cells distribute energy primarily by the rapid conduction of electrical charges through a vast, interconnected network of mitochondria — the cell's “powerhouse” — in a way that resembles the wire grid that distributes power throughout a city.
The 1worker1vote network has developed and is beginning to implement a “union co-op” model, which calls for a business structure that combines worker, and sometimes community, ownership with union representation. With the model, 1worker1vote hopes to demonstrate the viability of a democratic economy, both in terms of ownership and management, capable of eventually replacing the corporate-managed economy that generates astounding wealth for those at the top while leaving nearly a quarter of the country living in poverty and half the population stuck in a debt trap with zero net assets.
Among more serious examples, Portnykh noted some arguments that are still used today, albeit in a very different context. “Fighting in a Crusade gave a full pardon of all sins,” Portnykh said. “And sometimes the priests used phrases that are close to modern advertising slogans like ‘Sale! Special price!' Humbert of Romans and other preachers would say, ‘Hurry while the Kingdom of Heaven is cheap. Very few people get this chance!
