May 24, 2014 - Memorial Day provides the political class countless opportunities to ruin an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable holiday weekend. Like clockwork, local congressmen, mayors, city council members, et al, materialize at parades, picnics and churches to give speeches about freedom.

But what does freedom really mean?

LONDON, England (PNN) - May 20, 2014 - In 1934, scientists Gregory Breit and John Wheeler theorized that turning light into matter was as simple as crashing two photons of light into each other to create an electron and a positron. This calculation was analyzed over and over, but no one expected to prove it, at least in a lab. Even Breit and Wheeler thought it impossible. Scientists at Imperial College London now believe it’s possible to turn actual light into matter results with a new kind of collider.

CAMBRIDGE, England (PNN) - May 20, 2014 - Wormholes, those notoriously unstable warps in space and time, could theoretically be kept stable long enough for a beam of light to be sent through them. Exiting at the far end, these beams of light could find themselves anywhere in the universe, and theoretically, at any time as well. If the beam of light were used to carry a message, humanity could actually find itself with the capability of communicating across the ages.

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - May 19, 2014 - Did you know that scientists are creating cow/human hybrids, pig/human hybrids, and even mouse/human hybrids? This is happening every single day in labs all over the western world, but most people have never even heard about it.

NEW YORK (PNN) - May 19, 2014 - A group calling itself Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth will be on hand this week when the National September 11 Memorial Museum officially opens to the public in New York City, handing out brochures showing proof that the official version of the events of September 11, 2001 is a lie.

TRIPOLI, Libya (PNN) - May 19, 2014 - The commander of Libyan army special forces said on Monday he had allied with renegade general Khalifa Haftar in his campaign against militant Islamists, highlighting the failure of central government in Tripoli to assert its authority.

NEW YORK (PNN) - May 15, 2014 - The proliferation of cams, hard-earned knowledge and legal precedents, along with sympathetic courts have empowered increasing numbers to document malfeasance and criminal activity of public officials, particularly the terrorist pig thug cops. Additionally, apps like the Amerikan Civil Liberty Union’s “Stop & Frisk Watch” and services such as UStream help to ensure the preservation of such documentation and help to protect one from retaliation/false charges under color of law.

CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - May 15, 2014 - Tractor beams (short for "attractor beams," which can bring one object closer to another from a distance) are a common trope in science fiction. But could they be made in real life?

CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - May 13, 2014 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika government is spending billions of dollars to ensure that they can monitor and track every single activity in which you engage, be it online or offline. The latest attempt to infringe on your personal anonymity comes in the form of what has been referred to as Real I.D., essentially a social security number for the Internet that would be used to follow your every move in cyberspace. Coupled with technologies that include email mining, global positioning systems, predictive behavioral analysis, drones over Amerika, and even eavesdropping via microphones on our cell phones, the ultimate goal is a surveillance state so expansive that Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin would be jealous.

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - May 13, 2014 - On Sunday, Lugansk and Donetsk voted. Regional referendums were held. Doing so reflected real democracy. Ordinary people spoke. They did so overwhelmingly. They did so near unanimously. They rejected Kiev fascists decisively. They were unequivocal. They left no doubt where they stand.

On Monday, Lugansk People's Governor Valery Bolotov went the extra mile. He declared what free people everywhere support. He proclaimed regional self-determination. He spoke for virtually all residents.
