If you want to know what’s going on in the world, there are

status quo or be part of any international/inter-business synergy.
Stories, truths and angles that you need to know and have probably been sheltered from by the powers that be or your own search bubble.

Marijuana activists to honour Bernie Sanders
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will receive an award from marijuana activists Monday evening for his efforts to legalize the drug.
The Democratic presidential candidate will be honored at the High Times Business Summit in Washington, D.C., with the group’s first-ever trail blazer award. Sanders, a self-desribed Democratic socialist, is backing legislation that would end the long-time federal prohibition on marijuana.
Currently, the federal government maintains a ban on marijuana — even in states that have legalized the drug. The
Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act introduced last month by
Sanders would remove the barriers for states that want to legalize
recreational and medical marijuana without interference from the federal
government.
However, other states could still choose to prohibit pot.
"We
need major changes in our criminal justice system — including changes
in drug laws,” Sanders recently told students at Virginia's George Mason
University. “Too many Americans have seen their lives destroyed because
they have criminal records as a result of marijuana use. That’s wrong.
That has got to change.”
Dead terrorist's unclaimed body unwanted By Muslim groups
The mysterious jihadi bride who helped her husband kill 14 and wound
21 in last week’s terror attack in San Bernardino could get the
unceremonious – and un-Islamic – funeral she deserves, as no Muslim
leaders want anything to do with her.
The bullet-riddled body of Tashfeen Malik is still at the San
Bernardino County morgue, along with that of her husband, Syed Rizwan
Farook. But while his remains are expected to soon be released to his
family, community and mosque leaders are treating her corpse like a hot
potato.
“No one wants to claim her and no one wants to do the funeral,” a
well-placed source within the Muslim community told a dubious American news network.
"They
are all waiting for someone else to be the one to take care of this part
of it.”
NASA astronaut claims alien sighting on space mission
Clark C. McClelland, a former ScO of the Space Shuttle Fleet, claims
he personally observed an eight to nine foot tall extraterrestrial on his
monitor while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Control
Center.
He claims that the ET was standing upright in the Space
Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with two tethered US NASA
Astronauts. He also claims to have observed (on his monitors) the
spacecraft of the ET as it was stabilized safely in orbit to the rear of
the Space Shuttle main engine pods.
On his website he writes:
"How did it
communicate? I have no idea. It did move its arms a lot. Almost like
giving instructions! I heard no voice communications. The helmet was not
as large as our two NASA Astronauts, and had a viewport to look
forward. It had a small, perhaps a communication device, attached only
to the right side of the helmet! I saw no oxygen tank(s). It had a wide
belt like wrapping around it.. It did not appear to be tethered as the
two Astronauts were to the sides of the shuttle structure. I observed
nothing that appeared to be a weapon. The time of this amazing scene was
one minute and seven seconds, I timed it on my Astronaut chronograph
watch."
American town rejects solar power because they "suck up all the energy from the sun" and "cause cancer"
A town meeting in Woodland, North Carolina heard public comments on a
proposed solar farm in which citizens, including a retired science
teacher called Jane Mann spoke out against the proposal.
Ms Mann opposes the solar expansion because she believes it would lower
her property values. She also said that plants near solar farms do not
thrive because there wasn't enough sunshine left over for them to
photosynthesize. She also evinced a belief that solar panels cause
cancer. Her husband added that solar panels "suck up all the energy from
the sun."
She is a retired Northampton science teacher and is concerned that
photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would
keep the plants from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar
panels where the plants are brown and dead because they did not get
enough sunlight.
She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying
no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer.
“I want to know what’s going to happen,” she said. “I want information. Enough is enough. I don’t see the profit for the town. People come with hidden agendas,” she said. “Until we can find if
anything is going to damage this community, we shouldn’t sign any
paper.”
Bobby Mann said he watched communities dry up when I-95 came along and
warned that would happen to Woodland because of the solar farms. “You’re killing your town,” he said. “All the young people are going to move out.”
He said the solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not come to Woodland.
