December usually marks the start of humpback whale season in Hawaii, but experts say the animals have been slow to return this year.
The giant whales are an iconic part of winter on the islands and a source of income for tour operators. But officials at the Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary said they've been getting reports that the whales have been difficult to spot so far.

Not mentioned in the report are three additional possible factors:
1. Radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear disaster
2. Debris from the tidal wave which caused that disaster
3. The huge amount of plastic and chemicals from other sources which now contaminate our oceans
And it's not just whales which are being affected:

Before I start to believe the climate change loonies, they are going to have to show some concern for all the other factors which are killing life in our oceans.
If the oceans die, we die.

Israelis Are NOT Tolerant Of Non-Jews
The Israeli government banned a romance novel depicting an interracial Jewish-Arab relationship from schools, according to reports in the Israeli media.
Israel’s education ministry ruled that the book “Gader Haya” (“Hedgegrow” in Hebrew, but translated into English as “Borderline”) cannot be used in high schools, claiming the love story threatens “the identity and the heritage of students in every sector.”
In the justification for its decision, education ministry officials insisted “intimate relations between Jews and non-Jews threaten the separate identity,” warning that “young people of adolescent age don’t have the systemic view that includes considerations involving maintaining the national-ethnic identity of the people and the significance of miscegenation.”

Why are we still supporting these people? If this is not racial intolerance, then what is?
Does the phrase "Arab Lives Matter" have any meaning for you?

Will Next US President Be The Beast Of Revelation ???
The Roman mundus Cereis was located in the Comitium. This stone was ceremonially opened three times a year, during which spirits of the blessed dead (the Manes) were able to commune with the living. The three days upon which the mundus was opened were August 24, October 5, and November 8.
[Source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_manalis]
In other words, on those three days the gates of Hell (i.e., the door to the bottomless pit) were opened.
Seven US Presidents have ascended out of that bottomless pit (they either were born or elected on one of these days):
*Chester A. Arthur
*Abraham Lincoln
*Grover Cleveland
*Theodore Roosevelt
*Franklin D. Roosevelt
*John F. Kennedy
*George Herbert Walker Bush
Here is the importance of all this:
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Revelation 17 KJV
Who will be the eighth?
Our next Presidential election will take place on November 8, 2016. Whoever is elected that day will be the eighth to have ascended out of the bottomless pit, and therefore may be the feared Beast of Revelation.
Perhaps that is why Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan recently made this statement:
“If Donald Trump becomes president, he will take America into the abyss of hell.”
Yes, Minister Farrakhan, you see what I am seeing. But it's not just Trump we should be worried about - ANYONE who is elected on that day will be in fulfillment of Revelation 17:11.
And note well that other verses in The Book of Revelation say that a woman sits upon the Beast. That part of the prophecy implies the Beast is the office of the Presidency, and the woman who will ascend from the pit to sit upon it is Hillary Rodham (a.k.a. Clinton to some of you).
The deep state knows this, and that very well may be why she is their anointed one.
What's Ahead In 2016
Elections, elections, and more elections is the 'change' meme for 2016 but, as Bloomberg details, the key events of the year ahead vary from a California marijuana referendum to Brazil's Olympics, and from Davos to SCOTUS. No matter what, 2016 holds a lot of opportunity for volatility, and without The Fed's safety net, who knows what that means for markets ...
Here's a selected calendar of key events for the year.

The Anarchist Of Austin Texas
As legislation struggles to keep pace with technology, the Internet is the modern Wild West. For the past two years, Defense Distributed has been embroiled in a legal showdown at the intersection of the growth of the 3-D printed weapons industry and Internet free speech.
“Let’s be honest, there are so many CAD [computer-aided design] websites online, people have been sharing their gun culture online for a long time,” Cody Wilson, director and co-founder of Defense Distributed, told MintPress News.
“Even if there was an ATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] for the Internet, a regulatory agency tasked with only policing the gun culture on the Internet, you could still see how that agency could not keep up with the spread and the speed of human thought.”
The former University of Texas School of Law student has gained notoriety in the tech world for his involvement in a series of controversial digital projects, including Dark Wallet, an application to make bitcoin transactions anonymous and untraceable, and his efforts to spread firearms blueprints to the public via downloadable files. In January, Wired named Wilson one of the “most dangerous people on the Internet right now,” putting him in league with Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
To say he’s a gun rights advocate may be an understatement. But that, mixed with an affinity for anarchist philosophy and technology, informs his “goal,” as described by Wired, “to let anyone create a lethal plastic weapon with a click anywhere in the world, and in doing so demonstrate how new technologies can render the entire notion of regulation obsolete.”
Wilson has his hands in open-source firearms plans which would allow anyone from India to Indianapolis to “print” a gun as long as he or she has access to the Internet and a 3-D printer. He’s designing programs to make cryptocurrency transactions untraceable, ungovernable and untaxable. And, through all of this, he’s found himself at the eye of a legal storm that’s perhaps less about the Second Amendment and untraceable weapons, and more about the First Amendment, digital rights and the public domain.

In the world envisioned by Thomas Jefferson, Wilson would be a hero, not a villain.
But somehow, our world has become something else entirely:
I watched for a while, and then slowly walked back toward my car. As I did, it occurred to me there were factors in play here other than just guns and militia per se. For some reason the whole event reminded me of the following observation made by Audre Lorde many years ago:
"The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change."
The legend of the Minutemen implied that guns were tools of liberation, and as a nation we had previously promoted the private ownership of firearms partly because, in the words of the Second Amendment, they were “necessary to the security of a free State”.
But in reality guns are tools of subjugation, oppression, regime change, and counterinsurgency. They can never “dismantle the master’s house” because as one of the master’s chief tools, they are essential to the very building and maintenance of that house.
The proof of this is writ large in America’s history. How did our ancestors clear North America of its original inhabitants? By giving them guns, liquor, and blankets contaminated with smallpox or the measles. And how do we continue to subjugate the peoples around the world whose natural resources and/or land we covet? By giving them guns, drugs, and HIV/AIDS. Would we have given them guns if firearms were tools of liberation? Of course not.
Every instance in which we gave guns to so-called “freedom fighters” was motivated by a desire for regime change and subjugation. And the result nearly every time was a new regime which oppressed its own people so that our extractive businesses could siphon off the wealth of that nation while its American-armed new rulers kept the local population under control. It was a well-honed strategy which worked everywhere, including right here in the good ol’ U S of A.

Erdogan Praises Hitler
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who is pushing for executive powers, cites Hitler's Germany as an example of an effective presidential system, in comments broadcast by Turkish media on Friday.
Erdogan wants to change the Turkish constitution to turn the ceremonial role of president into that of a chief executive, a Turkish version of the system in the United States, France or Russia.

And we're still supporting this guy?
Perhaps that is because the US is a LOT like Nazi Germany:
*Our Dear Leader is a dictator (e.g., the pending gun grab, the unconstitutional importation of millions of refugees, etc.).
*Congress routinely rubber stamps legislation they don't even read.
*Our government/economic system is fascist.
*The mainstream media operates as mouthpieces for the fascist government.
*Police and military kill civilians with impunity.
*The thought police helps keep the rabble in line.
*And although most of the deaths are taking place overseas, we definitely are engaged in a holocaust of the Muslim peoples of the world.

Casualties - Iraq vs. Vietnam
Antiwar.com has found that at least 51,738 people were killed across Iraq during 2015, while at least 19,651 were wounded. The number of fatalities reported was slightly higher than in 2014, but the number of wounded was substantially lower. These figures should be taken as very rough estimates and probably low estimates at that.

This is almost as many deaths as the US sustained during the entire Vietnam War:
http://www.thewall-usa.com/information.asp
The total number of Iraqi deaths is well over 500,000 and climbing:

We have destroyed the former sovereign nations of Iraq, Libya, and Syria.
Can anyone tell me why? It wasn't just for the oil.
