After "my" war, I realized that I need to continue doing news. In 2008 I developed "The Crossing Borders Project" That provides cameras to those who have little or no voice in the mainstream media. We are currently preparing the Haiti Project, where we will distribute cameras to locals who have a story they want to share. Please visit the Crossing Borders website, and help us with this cause.
Request for Participation
1) The Crossing Borders Project is looking for participants in the Middle East areas. If interested, please email or leave a comment on this blog and I will contact you.
2) I am looking for bloggers to come together to generate a LARGE voice on American topics to help wake up our country and solve our problems.
Previous Projects
The "Crossing Borders Project" just finished the Florence, Italy project with American and Italian University students. Finished with Refugees and Palestinian Voices from the West Bank. The videos are posted on the CB website and on You Tube.
Siri Lanka Flooding August 2017: 500,000 Homeless-RT.com (Photo)
There is trouble in Kansas...Worldwide Not only are we having problems with hurricanes in America, but Asia has had its share of flooding followed with malaria infecting 13,000 people and 1,400 deaths. In addition, Burma is experiencing an exodus into Bangladesh due to the recent conflict. But wait! That's not all! The UN Refugee Agency's annual Global Trends study found that 65.6 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide at the end of 2016. We are currently having a huge human population migration worldwide. This number continues to increase in 2017 and does not include the newly displaced 500,000 Siri Lankans due to the recent flooding. There are not any nations that have that kind of money to disperse for those who are suffering worldwide. However, there is enough money in the hands of the wealthy elite who can either choose to help make things right or not. Literally, it is in their hands. Think about it. thousands-hit-by-malaria-dengue-as-south-asias-worst-floods-in-a-decade-recede
This video show short clips of interviews with European immigrants. It provides some interesting realities and insight. We all need work, even those of us who live in the developing world.
So what is new? The problem is that we, the citizens do not understand what benefits the immigrants receive from our governments using our tax money. It seems a bit hush hush in msm (mainstream media) in providing that type of information to its citizens who struggle to own or rent homes to live in and/or those who struggle to find livable wage jobs.
Most of the immigrants come from countries where there are few jobs and many are going hungry and struggling just as many of us are now struggling. Some have hopes to have a good life and others do not care about working at all.
Please listen to Nikolai Starikov. He is very logical regarding the immigration crisis in Europe, how the process should work and what is going on. It will provide you some great insight into the realities of this crisis.
You still want them in America? Really? They are taking over the lives of the people who were welcoming them...destroying their property, their lifestyle, taking their food, raping their daughters.
This is sick. Please call #CNN and #NYT for their sponsorship of this play. Delta airlines canceled sponsorship. Demand white house removes CNN's and NYT press credentials. 4048271500 CNN number. share and call. This is disgusting. A major news agency should not be doing this.
Mainstream used this boy for propaganda...remember the ambulance boy? Here is the fathers testimony. Again, using events and slanting them for political purposes
The Anti-Sharia law in America protest is not against immigration it is as the protest title says: Against accommodating Sharia Law in America. The anti-protest protests are misrepresenting the reality of the anti sharia law protest, thus they are pro Sharia law. Slanted news equals slanted views
Back in the days, news admitted that vaccines were ineffective and possible dangerous and some caused cancer in animals. This was in 1971. Today they just ignore is, stop the research, don't release the information for any research, or pharma itself conducts the research.
This is how things work folks. Look at the ingredients in your vaccines. Then research the ingredients.
Trisodium phosphate in your children's cereal. Made complementary by General Mills. If you sprinkled some of this on your children's cereal, you would go to prison.
Comey, while the director of the FBI asked a friend to leak the memos? Reality Winner was arrested, will Comey be? Let's take a step back and watch how mainstream spins this one.
Now, Comey sites the New York Times as not knowing what they are writing about! How come it takes so long to understand that these outlets are fake news and they all jump on the bandwagon.
This is really big about the American surveillance. 20 million Americans and 600 million documents unmasking, phone conversations, banking, emails, etc...
Artificial clouds? Look at the "language" in this article to soften reality.Folks this is the air that we breathe, we have no choice.My 100 year old mother lives in this area.
It says, "NASA launches a rocket to create some colorful clouds." To get people to think: Oh! How pretty will that be! like an aurora! I will grab my camera and take a photo of the beautiful aurora!
The problem is that this is not a natural aurora or a natural cloud this pretty colorful cloud is called...oh, guess, of the conspiracy theory that has been floating around for 10 years...drum roll please....It is called... A CHEMTRAIL.
Yep, that's right and they. are finally admitting that they are doing something in our skies and with the air that the babies, birds, animals and you breathe.
The articles says, "It’s caused by the bombardment of highly energized particles from the sun, striking earth’s protective magnetic field." What they are doing is releasing chemicals into the atmosphere to "test" the reaction of the particles. However, they have been doing this already. The difference? They are not making it public.
They also say, "Launching a small rocket from NASA’s Wallops Space Port in Virginia, which will dispense soft drink-sized canisters of colored vapor to create clouds of blue and red visible to people on the ground." What they don't tell you is what the highly energized particles are comprised of.
There is BARIUM, STRONTIUM AND CUPRIC ACID and...lithium. (that is to dumb us down...). Lithium does not hurt the environment, (oh! so it is okay to use) the compound itself was used as a psychiatric medication for decades. It works by altering levels of serotonin and norepinephrine that are secreted by the human endocrine system. Lithium strongly alters brain patterns. (Do you want that?) The problem is that the doctors that prescribe the drug don't understand how it works, or what the proper dosing levels should be. So how can spraying large amounts of the compound into the atmosphere be a good thing?
Yep, this proves that the conspiracy theory of chemtrails was 100% correct. Yes, I was one of those people who were reduced, looked at like I was a bit crazy, paranoid, from well just about everyone I know.
Still don't believe me read this linked article here: (This is where I took the above image from which is titled lithium1) Are you kidding me? Do they think that this is a joke?https://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code840/lithium.html
And. here is a link for a Nasa scientist who admitted putting lithium in rocket exhaust back in 2013:
Here is some more stuff they put into chemtrail canisters:
What are YOU going to do about it? This time, you cannot control your diet by eating organic or raw. This time you cannot run from breathing. Think about it. Please share this information with as many people as you can, post and re-post everywhere because this stinks and I, nor my family want to be gunna pigs. Did you sign on the dotted line to be a test? What goes up, does come down by the way.
Sugar is horrible, in everything and read your labels...it is in almost everything. pay attention. I know that this video/study is older. But we should not forget, nothing has changed. educate yourself for your own health
This is really interesting. Someone who was murdered 4 years ago is pictured as one of the people who were killed in England this last week. Below this video are links to the news agencies who posted images of the mother's daughter and articles about this.
I know that it is difficult to say one way or another, but this seems suspicious. I do not like to think that this type of fake news is actually going on and that there are other things behind closed doors. But I have found other articles with other terrorist events, and parents speaking out on the same issue, I have also seen where there has been the same victim for two different terrorist events.
I know that when I was photojournalist in Israel, I observed CNN setting up news that occurred but they exaggerated and twisted the events. I also know that the Russian mafia did some of the Tel Aviv bombings at bars, but Israel reported it as a Palestinian suicide bomber. These events I witnessed.
So, to take the story a bit deeper, I would not put it past the governments at be, to do something like this as well. Although, I really would hate the aspect that I even need to consider this as real and true. It is almost too much for my brain.
Wow. There is a ton in this that I was not aware of. I had already taped all my electronic gadget camera's and cut up old ear phones to plug in the ear phone socket. I had no idea that in India they are in the process of scanning every single citizen. I don't know if I like this.

This is bad folks. Government forcing organic farm to spray? Really? Do you have any idea how hard it is to make/have an organic farm...tons of money and years. Spread the news, share. Hopefully, someone will start a petition.

Remember the car driving into a crowd during the Christmas holidays at a market in Berlin? Well...The government decides to ignore the problem and people died. Why cover up terrorism? We are all messed up, things are backwards.
People are still starving in Venezuela. Here some musicians play a song, not sure if it is the national song or not, but the police decide to launch some tear gas at the musicians. Even music makes people angry.
Sorry, I don't know what WMG means, you will have to click on the link to watch on you tube. The music is public domain...so...this place is so big you can't get answers or communications from Blogger...if you know please let me know! Thanks
Conviction will be reduced...who raped a 10 year old boy...may be off with a lighter sentence because the refugee thought that the act was normal because it was a sexual emergency, not having sex for 4 months.
After the rape of a 15 year old girl in a small town in Austria...they decided zero tolerance, and closed their borders.
How can an immigrant think that these acts are natural and normal? I've been to these countries and I have not seen this happen as normal "on the streets" in fact, it is known as haram. (not good)
Wake up America, do we really want this in our country?
I am so tired of people trying to find a needle in a haystack. On the latest that Trump asked Comey to stop investigating Flint reporting by mainstream news...saying that Comey released this. Here is proof, under oath on May 3rd Comey said there was no interference to stop any investigation.
Please read the previous post and you will know why this is important. Thanks and please share, we must wake up and stand up from this food mess. This is real
Let's just take some weed killer and spray it on our salad shall we? Yum!
Share this shocking new report with everyone you know….
A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed killer glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.
Just to give you an idea of how outrageous these amounts are, independent research shows that probable harm to human health begins at really low levels of exposure – at only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate. Many foods were found to have over 1,000 times this amount! Well above what regulators throughout the world consider “safe”.
I am frankly shocked this information is not making front page news right now. Monsanto will do anything to bury this story… and as of right now, it’s working.
Not a single mainstream media outlet has covered this appalling new report that shows millions of people being poisoned by a chemical that does not belong in our food.
This chemical is ending up in processed foods like Cheerios, Ritz Crackers, and Oreos and being consumed by humans across the world. The health of millions of people is on the line and this news must go mainstream! That’s why I’m calling on every single one of you who reads this post to share this breaking story now. The only way this injustice will be corrected is if enough of us stand up and demand that something be done to stop the poisoning of our food supply.
Share this shocking new report with everyone you know….A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed killer glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.
Independent research links glyphosate to cancer (sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and it has been deemed a probable human carcinogen by the World Health Organization’s team of international cancer experts. The childhood cancer rate is steadily rising and experts say that they don’t know why. Why are they not taking a closer look at these facts?
Research also indicates that glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor, which disrupts hormones and leads to reproductive problems, early onset puberty, obesity, diabetes, and some cancers. When it comes to endocrine disruptors, very small exposures are the most damaging, so “the dose makes the poison” mantra does not apply!
It binds with vital nutrients in the soil (like iron, calcium, manganese, zinc) and prevents plants for taking them up. Glyphosate is thereby making food less nutritious!
Glyphosate is not just used on GMOs. Conventional (non-organic farmers) use Roundup as a drying agent on crops, such as oats and wheat. It can’t be simply washed off, as it is taken up into the plant itself.
As the active ingredient in popular “Roundup” herbicide, millions of people are using this stuff around their homes, and it’s widely used at parks and other public spaces.
So, that is why it’s not just GMO-filled junk food that is laced with glyphosate. It’s contaminating organic and non-GMO foods, and it’s even in our honey! The FDA quietly found it in almost every single sample of honey that they tested (from mass produced to organic mountain honey). The media has been essentially silent and barely anyone heard this news!
Even if you don’t personally eat the specific brands that were tested (I don’t), how many people are eating Cheerios and Ritz Crackers every day? A lot!
How many of your friends and family have their cabinets filled with these foods? These people need to know this information.There are still thousands of other brands and whole foods that have not been tested for glyphosate residues, so we can’t be so sure that our own organic, non-GMO, and unprocessed food is safe. Americans are effectively being forced to eat this poison until something is done to stop the rampant use of this chemical. Yes, I said poison.
Monsanto doesn’t want the public to know these findings for obvious reasons. They have our regulatory agencies in their back pocket to make sure they can continue to make a hefty profit while poisoning the masses.While there are now several manufacturers of glyphosate herbicides, Monsanto completely dominates the market and this is a best seller. They are raking in BILLIONS every year and certainly don’t want that to stop. They are clearly, without a doubt, using their prosperity to influence our government regulators. Why else would those entrusted to protect the public from harmful chemicals turn a blind eye to this?
Our public agencies are allowing corporations to poison Americans for profit.In 2013, the EPA massively increased the industry standard of what is considered a “safe” level of glyphosate on our food, in order to make enormous amounts seem A-OK. Instead of properly regulating, they effectively raised the “safe” level so that no one can blame the industry for poisoning us with unlawful amounts of chemicals. This is corruption at its finest. The EPA has a long and sordid history of doing whatever Monsanto wants and you have to ask yourself why this continues to happen and how we can make it stop.
The EPA continues to pander to Monsanto, as they keep postponing and dragging their feet to evaluate glyphosate’s link to cancer in humans. The industry is fighting tooth and nail to make sure that the EPA “evaluation” will be in their favor and is trying to control who will be on the panel. Why won’t the EPA do their job to make sure that the world’s most widely used herbicide isn’t causing us all to get cancer? Don’t you think this should be a top priority? It’s time for the EPA to put the public health above the corrupt desires of corporations.
When it comes to the FDA, they are not protecting the American public from glyphosate either. After announcing in February that they would FINALLY begin testing foods for glyphosate residues, they just decided to suspend their testing this week. Could it be that Monsanto didn’t like the results they started getting – especially since the FDA found glyphosate in foods that should be especially safe like BABY FOOD? Monsanto will do whatever it takes to keep that story out of the public eye.
Doesn’t the public deserve to know this information? It should be shouted from the rooftops!It is shameful that the American media has thus far failed to cover this breaking news, but WE HAVE THE POWER to make this information go viral. If you really want to stop the corruption perpetuated by Monsanto and the large chemical companies – this is how we shut them down!
CALL TO ACTION: Share this post with everyone you know. Tweet, share, and email this information to major media outlets and ask them to cover this story. Remember the best way to avoid glyphosate is by choosing certified organic foods because it is prohibited on organic crops. Although contamination is a real threat, the levels on organic foods are minimal compared to what’s been found on conventional foods. It’s been shown that people who eat organic foods have less glyphosate and other synthetic pesticides in their system.
The people of this country must be informed and this should be our top priority. Go, Food Babe Army, Go!

If by now you haven’t figured out that Facebook and Google are in cahoots with the corrupt government, then I feel for you, but for those who are well aware of the issues it’s high time you switched over to Seen.life. It is a website that is similar to Facebook but without all the censorship.
If we had a dime for every kooky, left-wing theory we've heard alleging some vast corporate conspiracy to exploit the treasures of the earth, destroy the environment and poison people with unknown carcinogens all while buying off politicians to cover their tracks, we would be rich. The problem, of course, is that sometimes the kooky conspiracy theories prove to be completely accurate.
Lets take the case of the $60 billion ag-chemicals powerhouse, Monsanto, and their controversial herbicide, Roundup as an example. For those who aren't familiar, Roundup Ready is Monsanto’s blockbuster weedkiller, credited with transforming U.S. agriculture, with a majority of farm production now using genetically modified seeds resistant to the chemical.
For years the company has assured farmers that their weed killing product was absolutely safe to use. As proof, Monsanto touted the approval of the chemical by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
That said, newly unsealed court documents released earlier today seemingly reveal a startling effort on the part of both Monsanto and the EPA to work in concert to kill and/or discredit independent, albeit inconvenient, cancer research conducted by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)....more on this later.
But, before we get into the competing studies, here is a brief look at the 'extensive' work that Monsanto and the EPA did prior to originally declaring Roundup safe for use (hint: not much). As the excerpt below reveals, the EPA effectively declared Roundup safe for use without even conducting tests on the actual formulation, but instead relying on industry research on just one of the product's active ingredients.

I want my readers to be "aware" Not in Mainstream News: Please share about these findings and get people aware!
Talk about a country that really cares...talk about media blackout. The 110% of the value of the real-estate mortgage debt forgiveness will provide some stability. Although, many are still in other debt, it frees up some expenditures to payback the rest. Iceland decided to listen to the population and sideline the bankers and politicians after their actions in 2008 destroyed the economy. The bankers are the accused throughout Europe and the United States. It is refreshing to see a nation stand up for what is right
Did you read about this in any US news outlet including alternative news? I hardly think so.
I don't understand why the nations will not allow journalists to tell stores about what is going on in their countries. The people in Venezuela are suffering, starving and poverty is increasing. Violence is a reaction. The BBC makers of this documentary were deported after being caught with a camera.
Conflict in Asia is moving fast and difficult to analyze quickly. First of all, it is hard for me to trust mainstream given their admitted "fake news" with the NY Times. (video below this article). Taking what is out there for us to cypher through takes being there to really know the reality.
Second, North Korea launched a failed missile last week to show muscle strength. (video below). I doubt that NK has the weapons that can reach the west coast of the United States. The way they may be able to succeed is by the use of submarines. However, President Trump and other nations are attempting to peacefully hold them back through sanctions. We need to have a good relationship with South Korea and their election for a new president will be in the beginning of May. It would be best if Trump would wait to see who gets elected to understand their stance on the threat of conflict in that region. At this point, South Korea and Japan are quickly installing a THAAD anti-missle system to track and shoot down incoming rockets from hitting the ground. Surely, they feel the tension in the region. North Korea, regularly threatens Japan, but this time with other nations ships in the sea, they feel the threat has increased in possibilities.
I do not think that North Korea will launch a nuclear weapon, because to do this would be suicide for them and Kim Jung Un is an intelligent man. Culturally, he need to flex some muscles at this point. It is also important to be aware that the need to maintain ones identity in face of the perceived threat from the US, is culturally strong. When any nation, including the United States feels threatened, they will not just sit down and watch. As with any leader, the leader must show equal force to the threat and take a stand for his or her people and country.
China's foreign minister views our presence as a threat to the region and would like us to withdrawal our missiles and stated that the US and North Korea are like" two speeding trains hurtling towards each other", he revealed in his speech (video below) Yesterday, China continued to conduct training exercises near the Korean peninsula as their way of showing NK, to be careful. Although China requests that the US withdrawal our nuclear weapons, they
Many nations have felt threatened either perceived or real with the election of President Trump, after he decided to have a clear military presence of generals near his side. When military strength starts to become evident and flocked around, people get nervous keeping in mind the continuous military take incursions of other nations. Iraq is a good example of a war that has been continuous costing trillions of US dollars and killing thousands of people was based on lies that were admitted and yet that "war" that was said to have stopped rolls on and on. We have started wars over the bombing of the Trade Towers and yet, it is not yet proven without a doubt who was responsible and how the buildings fell down. The US is still in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and now Syria because of the US created (admitted) ISIS group, then Osama Bin Ladan, who does not exist anymore...or does he? (I had to throw that in there). Of course the other nations do not trust the US who flexes its muscles at whomever it desires to do so.
In the meantime, Iran is in the picture with the United States considering lifting sanctions on nuclear deals. (video below) while Russia warns the US if they attack North Korea (video below). Russia feels that moving the DPRK missiles is not a way to come to a peaceful resolution. I agree.
The UN Security Council warns NK from continuing with their nuclear tests or face sanctions while Russia moved troops and equipment to the NK border. (video below) It is time for Kim Jung Un to humble himself before his people and stop the testing of his weapons. He is surrounded by armies of many nations and to continue to do his testing could possibly be an act of suicide.
Now keep in mind that there has been an international problem with North Korea for a long time and this conflict has finally come to a head, hopefully they can resolve this problem peacefully.
As for Syria, they recently moved its warplanes to a Russian base in fear of US strikes. (today, 20 April). Nikki Haley the US ambassador to the United Nations said that "Regime Change in Syria is now a top priority for Trump." We knew that a regime change was the objective, and this is against Russia's desires. Note: Regime change was a concern 6 months and a year ago. It seems that Trump is keeping the same objectives as the past presidents of the US. (video's below)
Venezuela is in the middle of a huge economic crisis the people stand in line for hours to acquire what little food is on the shelves. Rioting hits the streets daily. The people are fed up and yet, unlike Arab Spring, there is a media blackout.
This is an example of how independent news can get a bad rap. He does uncover some things, and somehow has a ton of money to report...but doing this? Is not creditable for the battle against MSM.

On 28 April, I was putting tags on this blog, when I noticed that this clip was taken off the air. Why?
Sorry folks, it is not here anymore.
Is this real? He realizes that he snapped, but still plans on killing another person? he is talking about shaming, not going to work etc...strange. I feel like something is off here with the media. If they could catch an independent journalist reporting in the field, streaming live, then why could they not find this shooter?
This is great. Today we have more lonely people in America than before. With the distance of families, social networking, Facebook, staring at phones rather than conversations at dinnertime. Running here and there on this metro, or bus, or alone in your car. This is encouraging.
This is a blurry video, I did not try to find the original footage..yet.
Think about this, proven faked war crimes back in 2014. Has anything changed?
This is to justify going in taking over a country and bombing it spending trillions of dollars.
Remember we started ISIS. Folks, what is going on today is the same game.
This one is good about Fake News, think about what is going on now...Chemical weapons...do da do!! America, goes in to save the day! woopie! Yeah!! Russia oh ignore them. Japan, cries chemical weapons may drop from North Korea. okay folks. what is going on?
10 MSM staged events proving how mainstream uses propaganda to meld the minds of the population into thinking that what is not reality, is reality. wake up. nothing has changed.

the title of this blog still stands...sarcastically it has never been over
Syria regime change, now (29 April) Israel bombed the Syrian airport. Assaad, is handling the chemical situation, the MSM news it seems is feeding us lies based on propaganda and the story is the same is in Iraq.
I love Lionel Nation, his sarcasm and clear thinking. Do not forget the reality of 9-11 and the lies that surround it. Keep your eyes open, do not believe mainstream news and research for yourself.
What is an ex- war photojournalist supposed to do after they are finished reporting on the wars? The media has changed, newspapers are closing and do not replace their photographers. If a photojournalist has a news job, they hold on to it with dear life and most of the time reporting on the things that our corrupt media will let us report on. They are paid by the big buck corporations, as is our government.
Times are changing. I still have the "need" to be involved in what is going on in our world with the conflicts, politics and news it is in my blood. I write about these things now as are so many others. I see injustice, corruption, senseless killings, changes in the U.S. laws and civil rights, corrupt foreign policies, censorship, attacks on journalists and whistle blowers and watch the arrests of photographers and journalists. I see fear in most of my fellow citizens eyes, the failing economy, failing health system, failing and unsafe food system and a threat to the very soil from pesticides and GMO's.
I see corporate pay-offs, CEO's hopping from one company to another receiving an enormous pay while taking more away from the already poor. I see only service jobs available with misleading employment numbers and delusion the American public.
I see propaganda likened to the days of Fascism increasing each day. What gets me, is that people are buying it. In the end, I started photography tours...with private and group instructions any takers?
For almost 9 years I covered the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians living, breathing the situation and smelling the olive trees. I moved to Florence, Italy, among more olive trees and continue to work on photography workshops, consulting and photography. My life is in a continual learning phase, at this time, I am trying to sharpen my documentary skills, do Italian weddings, Shoot in Food and Fashion!
