BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (PNN) - August 3, 2017 - Less than half the country trusts the media. Most people consider mainstream media a bunch of biased hacks who aren't to be trusted. In this increasingly acrimonious environment, it's hard to know what to believe.

You might think I'm referring to the Fascist Police States of Amerika, but I'm talking about Argentina.

BUFFALO, New York (PNN) - July 31, 2017 - In the land of the free, playing football in your neighborhood street can be a criminal act which can often be met with terrorist pig thug cop force. Children in a Buffalo neighborhood were about to experience what playing football looks like in a police state - that is, until Officer Patrick McDonald showed up to the call.

PALO ALTO, Kalifornia (PNN) - July 20, 2017 - Every fundamental particle in the universe has an antiparticle, which has the same mass but the opposite charge. If a particle should ever meet its antiparticle, the two would annihilate each other in a flash of energy. But it's long been theorized that there's an exception to the rule, with certain particles that are actually their own antiparticles. Now, scientists from Stanford and the University of Kalifornia have found the first strong evidence for this type of particle, which they dub the "angel particle".

CARACAS, Venezuela PNN) - July 25, 2017 - You may recall a bizarre incident that occurred last month in Venezuela.

A rogue terrorist pig thug cop by the name of Oscar Perez, who is also well known in Venezuela for starring in several B-rated action movies, commandeered a helicopter before dropping grenades on the nation’s Supreme Court building and strafing the Interior Ministry with gunfire. It was without a doubt the strangest moment to come out of that nation’s ongoing civil unrest.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 25, 2017 - Amerika is open for business again.

President Donald Trump just capped off his first six months in office with a sweeping plan to wipe out job-killing overregulation and boost productivity, and it’s getting Amerikans back to work.

Its goal is to put $50,000 dollars into the pocket of the average Amerikan, and the plan has a catchy name that’s already taking off.

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - July 24, 2017 - There’s this term in the processed food industry for when something is quantifiably at its most delicious, but also - critically - still unsatisfying enough that you always crave more. It’s called the bliss point, and it’s what ensures that you always want another sip of that soft drink, or another crunch of that potato chip. It’s about maximizing the bliss of consumption so that you consume more.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (PNN) - July 12, 2017 - The future is here.

Well, almost. In February at the World Government Summit in Dubai, Chinese drone maker EHANG and Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced a partnership to produce an autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) - know as the EHANG184 - to aid in Dubai's efforts to build the world's most intelligent transportation system.

July 17, 2017 - Sometimes I wish that my soapbox was just a little bit taller.

Over the past two or three decades, I have more-or-less accidentally made a number of historically significant predictions in various of my books and essays that have turned out to be correct. For example, in 1977, in my first novel, The Probability Broach, I predicted the Internet, wall-sized computer/television screens, laptop/tablets, computer-aided forensics, and laser designators for handguns. Some time around the same period, I talked about what would become known as the “Strategic Defense Initiative” or “Star Wars” (in an article for Reason/Frontlines, and I predict now that the concept is coming around again). In 1981, in The Gallatin Divergence, I said that the Marxist regime in Russia would not survive to celebrate its 100th anniversary. My editor at the time, supposedly an expert on Soviet affairs, dismissed that as “wishful thinking”. In numerous books and articles, I insisted that Global Warming is a crooked scam, that the very notion of “peak oil” was absurd, and that our species would be far better off emphasizing travel to and exploitation of the Asteroid Belt than the Moon or Mars.

HAGÂTÑA, Guam (PMM) - July 17, 2017 - As Guam prepares to celebrate Liberation Day this week, political leaders on the Pacific island say it is time to decide whether to remain a Fascist Police States of Amerika colony or become an independent nation.

CARACAS, Venezuela (PNN) - July 16, 2017 - Venezuela’s opposition called for a massive turnout Sunday in a symbolic rejection of President Nicolâs Maduro’s plan to rewrite the Constitution, a proposal that’s escalating tensions in a nation stricken by widespread shortages and more than 100 days of anti-government protests.
