OBION COUNTY, Tenn. - Imagine your home catches fire but the local fire department won't respond, then watches it burn. That's exactly what happened to a local family tonight. A local neighborhood is furious after firefighters watched as an Obion County, Tennessee, home burned to the ground. The homeowner, Gene Cranick, said he offered to pay whatever it would take for firefighters to put out the flames, but was told it was too late. They wouldn't do anything to stop his house from burning. Each year, Obion County residents must pay $75 if they want fire protection from the city of South Fulton. But the Cranicks did not pay. The mayor said if homeowners don't pay, they're out of luck.

Want to know if the government is really tracking you? If you find one of these tucked underneath your car, you can start freaking out. A routine visit to the mechanic by a Redditor and his friend turned up this ominous-looking device nestled right next to the exhaust on his friend’s car.

The government's giant bank bailout may well have averted a second Great Depression, economists say, but a lot of voters aren't buying it. Support for the program is turning into a kiss of death for many in Congress. Longtime Republican lawmakers — tarred by their votes for the emergency aid to banks, insurance and auto companies — have been sent packing in primaries. Fresh political attack ads are lambasting candidates from both parties for supporting the $700 billion package that Republican President George W. Bush pushed through Congress at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008.

Plans to nationalise the Vestey meat empire's Venezuelan estates are a blow to one of the UK's richest families. In 1903, two entrepreneurial Liverpudlian brothers arrived in Caracas determined to add to their burgeoning empire of foreign food producers by buying Venezuelan cattle ranches. Over the next decade, William and Edmund Vestey added 11 ranches covering thousands of hectares of prime pasture to a list of holdings that ranged from egg processing plants in China to beef herds in Madagascar.

Peace activists had high hopes of an Obama presidency only to face the harsh realities of FBI raids and intimidation. Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) raided the homes of at least eight anti-war/social justice activists here in the US. I happen to be a prominent anti-war activist myself, and have joked that I am a “little hurt” that I was not raided and perhaps I should try harder. Even though, we have the urge to try and be light-hearted in this time of an increasing police state, with civil liberties on the retreat, it really isn't funny considering that the activists could face some serious charges stemming from these raids.

Footage shot September 11, 2001. Just amazing footage of these brave fire fighters, they try to explain 3 bombs going off while still dazed. 9-11 was an inside job. You're living under a corrupt and brutal dictatorship Americans, and it's going to get much worse. Right now the dollar is collapsing and gold and silver are headed for the stars, but this is only the beginning.

A protein powder favoured by body builders could hold the secret of a long and healthy life, scientists believe. Dissolved in water, the mixture built muscle, boosted fitness and improved balance and co-ordination. The amazing results come from animal experiments, but, in human terms, this would equate to an extra 10 years or so of life.
