Growing Evidence That Autism Is Linked to Pollution
ALEXANDRA SIFFERLIN – Time

A new study offers strong evidence that environmental toxins play a role in the disorder. The report looked at birth defects associated with parental exposure to pollution and found a 1% increase in the defects corresponded to a 283% increase in autism

Several studies have shown a link between air pollution and autism, but a new study published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology is one of the largest to put the two together.

Researchers studied insurance claims from around 100 million people in the U.S., and used congenital malformations in boys as an indictor for parental exposure to environmental toxins. ‘Autism appears to be strongly correlated with rate of congenital malformations of the genitals in males across the country. This gives an indicator of environmental load and the effect is surprisingly strong,” study author Andrey Rzhetsky from the University of Chicago said in a statement.

Every 1% increase in malformations corresponded to a 283% increase in autism in the same county.

America’s Homegrown Terror

The U.S. security complex is up in arms about cyberhackers and foreign terrorists targeting America’s vulnerable infrastructure. Think tank reports have highlighted the chinks in homeland security represented by unsecured ports, dams, and power plants. We’ve been bombarded by stories about outdated software that is subject to hacking and the vulnerability of our communities to bioterrorism. Reports such as the Heritage Foundation’s “Microbes and Mass Casualties: Defending America Against Bioterrorism” describe a United States that could be brought to its knees by its adversaries unless significant investments are made in “hardening” these targets.

But the greatest dangers for the United States do not lurk in terrorist cells in the mountains surrounding Kandahar that are planning on assaults on American targets. Rather, our vulnerabilities are homegrown. The United States plays host to thousands of nuclear weapons, toxic chemical dumps, radioactive waste storage facilities, complex pipelines and refineries, offshore oil rigs, and many other potentially dangerous facilities that require constant maintenance and highly trained and motivated experts to keep them running safely.

I believe that the Rightwing Supreme Court Justices — the most activist, legislating-from-the-bench, cabal in the history of the court — know exactly what they are doing, and what effect it is having on our democracy. It is having the effect they intend, to turn the country into an oligarchy. This essay is one of the best assessments of what has happened that I have read.

New Evidence That Flight 370 Was Diverted To US Military Base

US Navy Cargo Ship Only Used To Carry People Or Bodies

Further evidence has emerged which may support the theory that Malaysian jetliner 370 and its 239 missing passengers and crew were taken to the US military base of Diego Garcia, located to the south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

On 31 March 2014, the US Navy was looking to obtain the services of ‘one dry cargo vessel in support of operations between Singapore and Diego Garcia', according to the Fed Biz Opps website, which could be used to transport people or dead bodies.

The site adds that the US Navy's Military Sealift Command is looking for — or ‘soliciting' — contractual tenders for ‘Transportation, Travel, & Relocation services' under the title of ‘Diego Garcia Re-supply'.

In normal circumstances, this would not be unusual.  However, in the light of other information that has recently emerged indicating that flight 370 may have been somehow diverted to the US airbase there, it may have more sinister overtones.

Flight 370 reality check: A Boeing 777 doesn't disappear unless governments want it to disappear

(NaturalNews) As the conventional news coverage of Flight 370 becomes increasingly delusional and detached from reality, for the sake of all those families and loved ones still suffering I thought it important to publish a reality check that can help bring the discussion back to some common sense.

Let's cover five indisputable facts about governments, radar and aircraft:
