(Reuters) – A former police officer shot a Georgia county sheriff and his deputy when they intervened in a domestic dispute in which three people were killed, local media said on Monday.

Habersham County’s Joey Terrell and Deputy Bill Zigan had been called out late on Sunday to a house in Clarkesville, northeastern Georgia, where they had found a woman dead in the garage, the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) reported, citing the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Neither men had life-threatening injuries, AJC said.

The woman in the garage has been identified as the ex-wife of the gunman – a former police officer in Gainesville, Florida – and he was also among the dead, local media said.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation could not immediately be reached for comment.

Read the entire article-these people are insane-they want to control everything you eat-everything you do-where you get your food,how your food is cooked,and they want to “monitor” your every move. If you are not marching in lockstep with their system-they plan on calling in “trained interventionists”.
Remember-can’t eat beef or pork-raising livestock is bad for Gaia- and causes climate change,droughts,hurricanes,tornadoes,blizzards,earthquakes-and leads to Gaia worshiping women protesting in front of your home-women who don’t believe in shaving their legs or armpits-or bathing daily.These people seek to control everything you do,where you live,where you work,where you can and can not drive-or walk-how much Tee Vee you watch,how much time you spend on the interwebz,what sites you visit while on the interwebz,what light bulbs you can use,and what toilet you can install- in your own homes,what  kind of car you can drive,what kind of lawnmower you can buy,what kind of weedwhacker and chainsaw you can buy-and on and on and on-(okay,some of that’s not in the article-but is already  in place,or being enacted)-all in because of earth -(Gaia)-worship,disguised as “environmentalism”. This bullshit is the U.N.’s Agenda 21 on ‘roids.

Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee calls for taxing dessert, ‘electronic tracking’ of time spent watching TV

The federal committee responsible for nutrition guidelines is calling for the adoption of “plant-based” diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity “interventionists” at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) released its far-reaching 571-page report of recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Thursday, which detailed its plans to “transform the food system.”

The report is open for public comment for 45 days, and will be used as the basis by the government agencies to develop the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The guidelines are used as the basis for government food assistance programs, nutrition education efforts, and for making “decisions about national health objectives.”

DGAC proposed a variety of solutions to address obesity, and its promotion of what it calls the “culture of health.”

“The persistent high levels of overweight and obesity require urgent population- and individual-level strategies across multiple settings, including health care, communities, schools, worksites, and families,” they said.

In response, DGAC called for diet and weight management interventions by “trained interventionists” in healthcare settings, community locations, and worksites.

“Government at local, state, and national levels, the health care system, schools, worksites, community organizations, businesses, and the food industry all have critical roles in developing creative and effective solutions,” they said.

DGAC also called for policy interventions to “reduce unhealthy options,” limit access to high calorie foods in public buildings, “limit the exposure” of advertisements for junk food, a soda tax, and taxing high sugar and salt items and dessert.

“Align nutritional and agricultural policies with Dietary Guidelines recommendations and make broad policy changes to transform the food system so as to promote population health, including the use of economic and taxing policies to encourage the production and consumption of healthy foods and to reduce unhealthy foods,” its report read.

“For example, earmark tax revenues from sugar-sweetened beverages, snack foods and desserts high in calories, added sugars, or sodium, and other less healthy foods for nutrition education initiatives and obesity prevention programs.”

The amount of sedentary time Americans spend in front of computers and TV sets is also a concern to the federal panel.

They recommended “coaching or counseling sessions,” “peer-based social support,” and “electronic tracking and monitoring of the use of screen-based technologies” as a way to limit screen time.

The screen-time recommendations came from The Community Guide, a group affiliated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reviewed studies that used an “electronic monitoring device to limit screen time” of teenagers.

As expected, the committee recommended that Americans move toward “plant-based” diets, after months of discussions in meetings regarding environmentalism and food policy.

DGAC said its recommendations to eat less meat are intended to “maximize environmental sustainability” out of concerns for climate change.

“The major findings regarding sustainable diets were that a diet higher in plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and lower in calories and animal-based foods is more health promoting and is associated with less environmental impact than is the current U.S. diet,” DGAC said.

DGAC recommended Mediterranean-style and vegetarian diets as the best options. Vegan, lacto-ovo vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, and Mediterranean diets are the most environmentally friendly, with the least greenhouse gas emissions, it said.

“All of these dietary patterns are aligned with lower environmental impacts and provide options that can be adopted by the U.S. population,” the report said. “Current evidence shows that the average U.S. diet has a larger environmental impact in terms of increased greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, and energy use, compared to the above dietary patterns. This is because the current U.S. population intake of animal-based foods is higher and plant-based foods are lower, than proposed in these three dietary patterns.”

The report added, “no food groups need to be eliminated completely to improve sustainability outcomes over the current status.”

The committee also said that “altering individual and population dietary choices and patterns” would be necessary to meet its sustainability goals, as well as policy changes.

“New well-coordinated policies that include, but are not limited to, agriculture, economics, transportation, energy, water use, and dietary guidance need to be developed,” DGAC said. “Behaviors of all participants in the food system are central to creating and supporting sustainable diets.”

The report did drop its recommendation to limit cholesterol intake to no more than 300 milligrams per day, after warning of its dangers for nearly 40 years. The panel also signed off on three to five cups of coffee a day, saying moderate caffeine consumption can reduce the risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

DGAC concluded that in order to achieve its goal of a population-wide “culture of health,” personal health must become a “human right.”

“In such a culture, preventing diet- and physical activity-related diseases and health problems would be much more highly valued, the resources and services needed to achieve and maintain health would become a realized human right across all population strata, the needs and preferences of the individual would be seriously considered, and individuals and their families/households would be actively engaged in promoting their personal health and managing their preventive health services and activities,” they said.

Feds: America Should Adopt ‘Plant-Based’ Diet

Stephen Sargent, a new officer on the Houston police force, was arrested at a Academy Sports and Outdoors store for allegedly stealing $60 worth of ammunition. KPRC reports:

Officials with the Houston Police Department said Sargent has only been on the force for a few months and was still listed as a probationary officer. As to why he would allegedly steal ammunition — for now, we are waiting to hear from Sargent himself.

“Obviously he shouldn’t need it for his job,” says [customer Chris] Kelly.

Sargent was charged with theft, and his bond is set at $500. His first court appearance is set for Feb. 23.

See my rant about the purveyors of eco-hysteria at the end of article…

Environmentalists praised New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last December when he moved to settle the longstanding debate over hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in his state and issued an all-out ban on the controversial gas-extraction method.

In New York’s Southern Tier, however, the ban was seen not as a cause for celebration but rather as the final straw, dashing hopes that the rural region’s resource-rich land might be the golden ticket to a revitalized economy. As a result, a number of towns in this long-struggling rural region are contemplating whether they should make a break for it.

According to WBNG in Binghampton, 15 towns are interested in seceding to neighboring Pennsylvania. An organization called the Upstate New York Towns Association is looking into whether secession is even possible and, if so, whether it makes economic sense.

Fracking is legal in Pennsylvania, where thousands of wells are currently drilling into that state’s portion of the Marcellus Shale, the same gas-filled formation of sedimentary rock that sits below New York. For a region wrestling with steep state property taxes and dwindling industry, from manufacturing to farming, the fracking revenue their neighbors in Pennsylvania appear to be reaping is nothing short of enviable.

“Everybody over the border has new cars, new four-wheelers, new snowmobiles,” James Finch, a Republican supervisor for the small town of Conklin told Capital New York. “They have new roofs, new siding.”

Finch, clearly a vocal advocate for the secession movement, also spoke to WBNG, which first reported the unrest. Finch told the local news station that “the Southern Tier is desolate. We have no jobs and no income. The richest resource we have is in the ground.”

In lieu of fracking, Cuomo’s administration has pledged to invest $50 million in the Southern Tier, to fund things such as farming grants and a clean-energy plan in the region. Town leaders like Finch and others have dismissed the pledge as insufficient.

“They’re good ideas, but can they bring in the revenue? Can they bring in the jobs this area needs?” Carolyn Price, a Windsor town supervisor and secession supporter, said to Capital New York.

While Pennsylvania’s property taxes are also seen as part of the appeal for business owners, some proprietors are concerned about whether their existing enterprises would survive the secession. For a liquor store owner like Conklin’s Francis Larkin, the fact that Pennsylvania’s government has full control over all alcohol sales within the state is something to think about.

“From my standpoint, owning a liquor store, if we were part of Pennsylvania, it would be hard,” Larkin told WBNG.

This is hardly the first time parts of New York have threatened to secede, but no movement has been successful since the creation of Vermont during the Revolutionary War. That doesn’t seem to discourage this new wave of secessionists. One state senator has already mailed out a survey to gauge his constituents’ interest in seceding, and the Upstate New York Towns Association promises to keep the local media abreast of its findings as it weighs the pros and cons of leaving old New York.

The Southern Tier couldn’t simply run away, of course. The rest of the state’s lawmakers would have to agree to let those cities go, and even then, who knows if Pennsylvania would want to acquire them? To those desperate for a change, however, it might seem worth the long shot.

The problems caused by the purveyors of eco-hysteria…

Just another in a long line of problems created by the gaia worshippers  disuised as “environmentalists”.

These people have infiltrated every level of government and hold positions of power in every government agency-the freakin Pentagon is concerned about the “environmental consequences”of lead bullets?! Give me a flippin break-these people are certifiably insane.

We have the Gaia worshiping purveyors of eco-hysteria  brainwashing people with their propaganda about the “hidden dangers of fracking”and false claims of our drinking water wells and underground aquifers being “poisoned” by the “secret chemicals” the evil oil and gas drillers use during the drilling and fracking processes. Thee are no “secret chemicals” the MSDS sheet for EVERY chemical used is stored on site,and the local fire and rescue agencies have copies,as does the state fire rescue/emergency management agency-yet the Gaia worshipers continue to bray about “secret chemicals”.

Facts do not mater to these enviro-nazis,the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing are simply not contaminating our underground aquifers,never have,never will.

Nor are any of the “dangerous toxic chemicals” used in an amount that could cause harm to humans or animals. When 1 gallon of a “dangerous toxic” chemical is used in a blend of chemicals that adds up to several hundred gallons of chemicals,which is then mixed with upwards of a couple million gallons of water-the effect is about like pissing in an olympic size swimming pool-it ain’t even detectable.

Almost every one of the Gaia worshipers is a leftist tool,and believes that humans are the problem,and most of us need to be removed from the earth in order to save the planet.

That excludes themselves of course,even though they contribute as much,and often more to the “carbon footprint” of humans. They expect the rest of us to stop using all petroleum products,and bleat about how big oil and people driving SUV’s is killing the planet-while using keyboards made from petroleum products,with their computers running on power generated by either evil coal burning power plants,or evil natural gas burning power plants.

They constantly claim that wind and solar power are what we all must rely on for our electricity needs,while birds are shredded by windmills,and China is turned into an industrial waste land from toxic by-products of solar panel manufacturing,battery manufacturing,and windmill manufacturing-but they’re saving the planet…

The Gaia worshipers claim that by taxing the rich,they will have the $$$ to pay for all of their silly “green energy” mandates,which raise the price of electricity on the rest of us-hurting both indiviual families and small businesses.

They believe that by raising the price of gasoline to $10.00 a gallon,we will be forced to use public transportation,which will consist of high speed rail lines that do not exist,but are being planned and sucking up a huge amount of taxpayer $$$. No one wants to ride trains everywhere they go-this ain’t Europe,and this ain’t a socialist country-yet-the Gaia worshipers are working on that as we speak though.

The Gaia worshipers fully support the U.N.’s Agenda 21,and the idea of forcing us to live in the cities,in apartment buildings and homes built of “sustainable materials”, eating locally grown food that’s been organically grown,using sustainable agricultural practices. They expect everyone to walk or ride bicycles to work at their jobs on the rooftop farms that are somehow fit in around the windmills and solar panels,or at their jobs in the solar panel plant,or the windmill manufacturing plant. Of course no one will be able to eat meat-because raising animals for meat harms the Gaia,and no one can eat seafood,because the boat’s engines pollute the air,and the nets might catch a dolphin,sea turtle,sturgeon,shark,or any other creature they deem an “endangered species”,fish can not be raised using aquaculture because that adds pollution to the oceans,fish can’t be raised in ponds,because digging the ponds harms the planet,and besides-eating fish isn’t part of a vegan diet.

These people want to control what you eat,where you live,what kind of light bulbs you can use,what kind of toilet you can have in your home,what kind of vehicle you drive,where you can go in that vehicle-wouldn’t want to drive on a road that an endangered desert tortoise might cross,and of course there can be no bridges over rivers,that would interfere with fish being able to swim freely.

There will be no growing your own food for your own family-it will all have to be given to the food banks-where all food is distributed evenly amongst all people-even those who do no work.

There will be no more hunting deer or elk to fill your freezers with meat-meat isn’t vegan.

No more catching your own fish-the fish feel pain from the hooks dontcha know.
