German, French leaders take new Ukraine peace plan to Kiev, Moscow
(Reuters) – The leaders of Germany and France announced a new peace plan for Ukraine on Thursday, planning to fly together to Kiev and Moscow with a proposal to resolve the conflict that could be “acceptable to all”.
The coordinated trip by Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Francois Hollande comes as rebels advanced on a railway hub held by Ukrainian troops after launching an offensive that scuppered a five-month-old ceasefire.
With Washington talking of arming Ukraine for the first time, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also visited Kiev on Thursday. He had no plans to go to Moscow and was not involved in the Franco-German initiative, although he supported it.
Moscow confirmed plans for the meeting with Merkel and Hollande and said it hoped the talks would be “constructive”. A presidential aide in Kiev said it awaited the talks with “restrained optimism”.
The Franco-German plan looks like an eleventh-hour bid by Europe’s core powers to halt the escalation of the conflict ahead of diplomatic deadlines that are likely to make east-west confrontation even worse.

Reading the letters to the editor, I cannot believe the commitment to the pro vaccine agenda. I readily admit that I could be wrong and am willing to be convinced by reason. However, I still await any rebuttals.

I have been taking this cordyceps supplement for about a week now:
http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/item01805/Asian-Energy-Boost
I usually bring a 20 oz hot coffee to work in the morning as I settle in. Morning vitamins and supplements, and a bite to eat. This morning I finally noticed… several hours into my morning, I had what felt like a coffee-buzz, with less than half my coffee consumed! Now I have been a caffeine hog for decades and am virtually immune to the stuff…. I haven’t felt a morning rush like this in a loooong time. I think I could do without the coffee now. I could not finish my cup this morning.
EEOS… I think you could easily eliminate the coffee with this stuff!
Another factor… I began taking VINPOCETINE also in the mornings.
http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/item01327/Vinpocetine
The Vinpocetine increases blood flow and oxygenation to the brain also, synergistically with what cordyceps does for the rest of the body. This is the strongest wake-me-up I have felt in years.

Those of us, like me, who don’t believe in vaccines, will readily accept the rights of those who are for them to have vaccinations. However those who are for vaccinations, want to force everyone to have them. You can not reason with the left, its their way or the highway. They say that if we don”t vaccinate, we will spread disease. What!!! I thought that vaccinations protected you from disease. Sorry but i will not let anyone inject mercury, fetal tissue or monkey virus into me over my dead body. I have never had a needle in 25 years and never felt better.

All good points and I know what you say is true….but I am looking forward to the day when the world goes back to a days work for a days pay. After all, there really ain’t no free lunch!! Half of America is feeding the other half and the other half have to do what?? Right!! Nothing!! Sorry to say America is beyond saving, and you can thank your bought and paid for leader(s) who were voted in by all those freeloaders and illegals. What gets me is we, the older generation, are being blamed for the shape the country is in, but at least we did a days work for a days pay. we didn’t sit on our ass and expect a free ride through life. We paid for what we got but I doubt we will ever collect all the retirement we also paid for, because all these freeloaders are eating it up as we speak. IMO!! Silverngold

The Swiss central bank decision to leave the euro peg is still moving through the system and negotiations are continuing about who gets paid what from the shortfalls.
The austerity measures imposed on the Greeks are causing the same carnage the Germans suffered after WWI. The Greek citizens, especially the youth, are at he end of their rope. It may not matter what the slime ball leadership does. The riots in the street are near. The debt inspired collapse will have a temporary change in leadership followed by the more permanent form of government. History is replete with examples. If the slimeballs don’t get the fiat in the hands of the public instead of the bankers, the deflationary spiral will continue until it’s out of control and monetary velocity will approach zero.

I was the landfill contractor for a three city area. About twice per week the bread trucks would come in and dump their day old bread….dozens to hundreds of loaves, so I would call the local soup kitchens etc and they would come gather the bread for the needy and hungry. When the bread company found out they began having their drivers cut open all the loaves so they would be contaminated, rather than have someone get something for nothing…..a criminal waste IMO.

Save a few bucks. Go to Home D. and the plumbing section. Purchase a spray nozzle and hose like the one on your kitchen sink, also a “T” fitting for the water intake line to your toilet. Simple installation. Spray your butt when necessary. Used a lot in South Florida. LOL
