(NaturalNews) New research funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has shattered the prevailing myth that chemotherapy drugs actually fight cancer.

About one month after radiation leaks were reported at the United States’ first nuclear waste repository, a second release has been detected in the air by Department of Energy officials.

According to the Associated Press, air-monitoring stations near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, have picked up elevated radiation readings, suggesting another small batch of radiation has been released into the air.

A Maine man was in for a rude awakening on Tuesday after a tree removal crew reported he’d threatened them with a gun. That’s when police showed up at his home, armed with assault rifles, and demanded he leave his house.

The problem? Michael Smith didn’t actually have a firearm – he had a life-size tattoo of a gun placed on his stomach, and it looks as if there’s a gun tucked into this pants when he’s not wearing a shirt.

The incident began when Smith had gone out shirtless in his snow covered neighborhood to tell crew workers to get off his property, After Smith yelled at the tree removal crew, he went back to bed inside since he works at night.

Up To 60% Of Catalonians Want Independence – Poll – 19 March 2014

Nearly 59.6 percent of the population of Catalonia desire independence from the rest of Spain and want their region to become a “new state of Europe,” according to released poll results.

Over 1,600 people have been polled by the Center for Opinion Studies (CEO), a Catalan government research center. The recently published survey was carried out in mid-December 2013, when the region’s political parties were negotiating a possible independence referendum.

Meanwhile, just under 30 percent said they would be “against” or “totally against” seeking an independent Catalonia.
The number of those who want Catalonia’s independence has risen compared to the same poll from November 2013, when nearly 55 percent of Catalonia’s population voted in favor of the proposal.

Lisa Gawlas – Light Quakes, Wormholes And The Equinox – 19 March 2014

These days are becoming so energetically unpredictable.  For a few hours (especially at night) I feel like I am being thrashed about in the breaking waves of a shore line, and then have bouts of such crystal clarity that I swear I can see and understand forever, until the lapping waves come crashing in again.  The evening of the 16th going into the 17th played hell on my body.  As evening descended, I swear my entire rib cage and up thru my neck got caught in a vise that just kept squeezing tighter.  As the night wore on, the coughing started again, the ability to breathe was leaving town and all I could say is… not again!!  At least I didn’t have the lung congestion this time around.  Everything was between my sinuses and my throat.  The next day, I was just worthless and energetically depleted.  By late afternoon, this feeling enveloped me.  The only way I can describe it would be to call it the utter silence/stillness.   No thoughts swirling about my head, no chatter from my team, even the body went to absolute stillness… no congestion, no coughing, no nothing.  It really was the most amazing feeling, pure and absolute peace inside and out.  I cannot tell you how long it lasted, 10 minutes, 15… 30?  I don’t know, but my good god it was great while it lasted!!

DutchNews – Trade Mission To Russia To Go Ahead For The Time Being: Rutte – 19 March 2014

(Lucas : the USA and EU are backing down with little or no real sanctions as the reality gets to them of  a real confrontation. The Dutch show that they need the money from trade and even go during the imposed sanctions to Russia. It is all part of the lions that roared but where just cats that are miauing. The hidden agenda is also for NATO and USA to get more military power by more budget…. which people will likely see through…. We will see diplomacy and the Crimea will be Russia’s as it was before it got given to the Ukraine. There is too much too loose for EU and USA, so we have still a lot of rhetoric that will die down.)

The trade mission to Russia planned for May should not be cancelled for the time being, prime minister Mark Rutte told a tv news programme on Monday evening.
