Get to Know the Common Core Marketing Overlords

     From Michelle Malkin via CNS News.  Please don't dismiss this article because you may not agree with the author's politics.  She realizes the problem is bipartisan and proves it with facts in this article.
  
     "The foundational myth of Common Core is that it's a "state-led" initiative with grassroots support that was crafted by local educators for the good of all of our children. But the cash and power behind the new ad campaign tell you all you need to know."

   

     "As they prop up astroturfed front groups and agitprop, D.C.'s Common Core p.r. blitzers scoff at their critics as "black helicopter" theorists. Don't read their lips. Just follow the money. This bipartisan power grab is Washington-led and Washington-fed. It's not a conspiracy. It's elementary: All Common Core roads lead to K Street [lobbyists and 'think tanks']."

The foundational myth of Common Core is that it's a "state-led" initiative with grassroots support that was crafted by local educators for the good of all of our children. But the cash and power behind the new ad campaign tell you all you need to know. For parents in the know, this will be a refresher course. But repeated lies must be countered with redoubled truths. - See more at: http://cnsnews.com/commentary/michelle-malkin/get-know-common-core-marketing-overlords#sthash.AWZfcz0r.TsD9HJqw.dpuf

Democracy is Broken: Here's How to Fix It

From Carolyn Moynihan at MercatorNet:
     The first element is virtue. Self-government does not begin at the ballot box, even if the ballot is citizen initiated and accessible via the internet. It begins with people who know how to govern themselves – to obey their conscience, to delay gratification, to do the good that is difficult – and this is precisely what has been undermined in democracies where the state has grown by the political process of buying power with ever-extending handouts and entitlements. 
     The second element is the family. It is in the family that the individual learns the virtues basic to a democratic society: in addition to those already mentioned, responsibility, justice and respect for the freedom of others. But this can only happen in a family that has not had its authority snatched away by an intrusive state and its favorite experts.

Nine Dirty Little Secrets About GMOs

     This article by Robyn O'Brien in Huffington Post caused panic in the biotech industry and O'Brien was viciously criticized by industry shills; however, as WWII bomber crews used to say, you can tell when you're right over the target because of all the flak you take.  The article is factual, brief enough to read quickly, yet accurate enough to decimate all of the biotech industries claims about GMOs.  Instead of offering highlights to you, please read it here.

"The Food Cure": Crowdfunding on Kickstarter a Success

     "With 14 days to go, Sarah Mabrouk, Amy Thommasson and her Upwind Pictures team raised over $75,000 on their kickstarter campaign, surpassing their $68,000 minimum, to fund their film’s post-production costs.  The project met their goal on February 14th – a very nice Valentine’s day gift.  Their $98,000 stretch goal will cover editing, sound design and color correction for their documentary, “The Food Cure.”  The film documentary illuminates a controversial nutritional therapy, based on the idea that strengthening the body’s own immune system will enable the immune system to detect and independently kill cancer cells."
