Beekeeper`s Discovery, Funding Open New Path of Inquiry for WSU Colony Collapse Research

"The truth is out there” - The X-Files

(PULLMAN, Wash.) - For longtime commercial beekeeper Eric Olson of Yakima, no sting is as painful as the one he felt last winter when he discovered his hives had gone silent.

Peering into each box, he saw the queen and a mere scattering of her worker-bee offspring; tens of thousands of adult bees - gone.

Nuclear Power is Clean -- as Long as you Ignore `Safety`!

Every American nuclear power plant could be closed down if Americans turned off extra lights and became energy efficient.

(CARLSBAD, Calif.) - In the U.S., radiation-related "safety" decisions over commercial nuclear power plants are handled very undemocratically.

They are considered to be strictly the purview of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Courts, utility and state energy commissions, EPA, DOE, and everyone else whose regulatory authority touches on nuclear power will insist that you cannot talk to them about "safety." You must go to the NRC.

Doctored Photo In Marine Murder Probe (PART 3)

Motive for the murder was to prevent Colonel Sabow from talking about unmarked civilian aircraft to flying drugs into MCAS El Toro.

(IRVINE, Calif.) - Colonel James E. Sabow, age 51, was found dead by his wife in their backyard patio at MCAS El Toro on the morning of January 22, 1991. The death was reported as a suicide from a self-inflicted shotgun wound.

Just another tragic military suicide, you say. In this case, the answer is a resounding “NO.” The forensic evidence supports homicide; a violent and brutal murder...

If Colonel Sabow didn’t commit suicide, then who killed him?

(IRVINE, Calif.) - Colonel Sabow was found dead in his quarters at MCAS El Toro on January 22, 1991, after he requested a court martial for alleged charges due to personal misuse of government aircraft.

However, the alleged charges were unsupportable and would have been easily dismissed by a court martial.

Doctored Photo in Murder Probe (Part 1)

Fraudulent autopsy photo supports murder of Marine Corps Colonel and cover-up by DOD. First in a three part series.

(IRVINE, Calif.) - The death of Marine Colonel James E. Sabow in his quarters at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California, has taken a new twist with the discovery of a fraudulent autopsy photograph in DOD’s death investigation report to the House Armed Service Committee.

These hide the tramline bruise to the back of Colonel Sabow’s head, a tell tale sign of a violent blow by a blunt object like a lead pipe or baseball bat.

The Sun Still Baffles Scientists

The scientists say they are just beginning to understand how our atmosphere works

(SAN DIEGO) - On Dec. 22, 2011 I received this link from the Planck Foundation, to an article titled: The Sun: A Magnetic Plasma Diffuser That Controls Earth’s Climate.

PETA Response to: `North American Zoos Support Worldwide Elephant Conversation`

Instead of supporting an organization that supports elephant exploitation, people can make a real difference by supporting legitimate elephant sanctuaries...

(NORFOLK, Va.) - The International Elephant Foundation (IEF) was founded largely to support elephant exhibitors and to perpetuate captive elephant breeding. It does very little to meaningfully improve the lives of elephants.

The IEF was co-founded by Ringling Bros. Circus, which has a well-documented history of elephant abuse and exploitation.

The Attack on our Seeds

Genetic engineering is an imperfect technology. It is a cell invasion technology through which inter-specie barrier is transcended.

(NEW DELHI) - Once again, our seeds are under attack. Trans-national seeds companies like Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer are pushing GM seeds in India without proper biosafety assessment.

Mysteries of Unseen Force: Racetrack Playa`s Sliding Rocks & River-Curved Rifles in France

Geophysics rendezvous with aerodynamics in Death Valley, possibly solving the 'traveling rock' mystery; while recovered war relics in France defy explanation...

(SALEM) - What elements of nature move solid objects with invisible force?

These questions and a possible answer to the first, are the nature of this article about seemingly unnatural occurrences, at least one of which, may not be such a mystery after all.

A Closer Look at the Scientific Examination of Comets

Most people do not realize that the comet tail sweeps around the Sun like the spoke of a wheel and actually precedes the nucleus when the comet is receding away from the Sun...

(SAN DIEGO) - In a report from London dated Dec. 19, 2011 titled, “Comet Lovejoy Just Misses the Sun”, the scientists reported:

“Newly discovered comet, Lovejoy, defied all odds when it survived a hellish journey through the Sun’s corona, where temperatures soar to staggering 1.1 million C.
