A startup company developing chipless RFID ink has tested its product on cattle and laboratory rats.

Somark Innovations announced this week that it successfully tested biocompatible RFID ink, which can be read through animal hairs. The passive RFID technology could be used to identify and track cows to reduce financial losses from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (mad cow disease) scares. Somark, which formed in 2005, is located at the Center for Emerging Technologies in St. Louis. The company is raising Series A equity financing and plans to license the technology to secondary markets, which could include laboratory animals, dogs, cats, prime cuts of meat, and military personnel.
Chief scientist Ramos Mays said the tests provide a true proof-of-principle and mitigate most of the technological risks in terms of the product’s performance. “This proves the ability to create a synthetic biometric or fake fingerprint with biocompatible, chipless RFID ink and read it through hair,” he said.

Co-founder Mark Pydynowski said during an interview Wednesday that the ink doesn’t contain any metals and can be either invisible or colored. He declined to say what is in the ink, but said he’s certain that it is 100% biocompatible and chemically inert. He also said it is safe for people and animals.

Hidden “Agent Orange” Chemical They Want to Sneak into Your Food

Because of what is happening in our world, from the riots around the Globe (the US is usually five years behind Europe), rumors of war, to the dire situation with our U.S. economy and the expected fuel hikes, I have been working on finding good freeze dried food and heirloom seeds.  We are seeing an upswing in the Militia movement again, preparedness minded people (National Geo’s Doomsday Preppers) everywhere are taking preparedness more seriously and it isn’t just a response to the Mayan Calendar running out this year either.  And just wait until the fuel prices go up over $4.00 a gallon!

Americans are beginning to get the idea that our situation isn’t going to be easy.  The economy has and continues to put a serious bite into the average American’s spending power. It is for this reason, even through I have not been broadcasting for a while, that I have felt motivated to stay in preparedness and not take this opportunity to retire and drift into the sunset.  Having two major foot surgeries, requiring me to learn to walk twice in a year and taking care of my parents aging issues has most definitly given me pause to consider the direction of my life.  But when you get right down to it, more than ever the work of my many years in radio has been about exactly what is so needed now.  How can I retire?  Food, along with the ability to produce ones own food, is basic to sustaining life.  For way too long the basics of our life have been handed over the huge growers, like Monsanto and the big food brokers, who could care less about our health and are so big they will never be able to supply us in just about any event (consider the tornado at Joplin, MO) much less a more serious event like an EMP exploded over the the center of America.  Only by producing our own food like our grandparents did, will we ultimately provide for ourselves.  It is the ultimate resistance to tyranny to produce ones own food, then you won’t be standing in some food line hoping for a handout only to find there is nothing left when you get there.  Don’t believe me, just talk to a few Russians, they will tell you what is like to stand in a line for hours for just a loaf of bread, then another line for a potato or to be told it is all gone and to come back tomorrow.

If you are into freedom and don’t intend to die on your knees learn to provide for you own now while you still can!  Learn to grow a garden, even if you live an apartment you can learn to container garden.  I have a friend who insists she kills everything she ever grew but she tried container gardening in kitty litter boxes and grew her own salad garden!  Food grown in your own garden tastes so much better and there is nothing like a wonderful homegrown garden tomato!  So whether it’s a time of unemployment, natural or man-made disaster it just makes good sense to have food on hand and the ability to grow your own.

Check out the new Heirloom Seeds in the Preparedness Now online Store.  In the near future we will also be adding a really good line of freeze dried food from Wise Foods and a specialty line of fruits and vegetables from Lindon Farms.  I chose Wise Foods due to the fact that they have real meat for protein and the flavor is superb.  Wise Foods is just as good, if not better, than Mountain House and is cheaper!  I have personally been trying the food and it is awesome.  We have been giving away samples at the Kansas City Gun Show and a favorite is the Beef Stroganoff and Lasagna. And it is so easy to fix, just add boiling water and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.  For right now we have all been having the flu and we haven’t gotten the Freeze Dried Foods up in the store yet  but we are working on it.

Back to the Heirloom seeds… If you want to grow more self-sufficiently and provide more for less, this is a great and affordable way to garden and be prepared ahead at the same time!  Many of these seeds are grown in Missouri.  These are all natural, open-pollinated and non-GMO seeds.  In other words our seeds are good for you, will reproduce themselves and provide you with the way to not to be under the thumb of the nanny state.

Our Heirloom seed kits have been especially custom packaged for Preparedness Now, by our supplier, White Harvest Seed Company (a local Missouri seed farmer).  These kits have been designed so families can actually sustain themselves from their garden.  And the real beauty of heirloom seeds are that they are self-sustaining seeds – they will reproduce themselves, whereas hybrid seeds will either not reproduce at all or over about five years fail to yield.

Each of our kits includes a fertilizer packet, a Garden Basics Handbook and recipe card to help with your green thumb.

If you are in the Kansas City area, come by the Gun Show this weekend and stop by the Preparedness Now booth for a taste of some excellent freeze dried food (if you come early we will be doing breakfast samples) and we are taking drop ship orders on heirloom seeds.  The seeds ship very quickly in 1-2 days after we turn in our order.

The Gun Show is north of downtown Kansas City near the airport at 11730 N. Ambassador Dr.  This  Saturday 8-5, &  Sunday 9-3.

“You shouldn’t take our (children) because we’ve fallen on hard times,” said Prince Leonard, a married father of six whose family resides in a northeast Houston storage shed.

The Leonards moved in three years ago after the father, an unemployed welder, was hired as a maintenance worker.

The family had already lost an apartment and believed the homeless shelter wasn’t safe enough.

“This is much more secure,” said Charlomane Leonard. “Our children can play outside here.”

Recently, a nosy passerby spotted the children outside and reported them to Child Protective Services.

A caseworker investigated, and the state took custody of the children.

According to CPS, the children were removed because the storage shed was a dangerous living environment.

The shed, which lacks running water, is about 12 feet wide and 25 feet long.

It has an air conditioner, refrigerator and two personal computers. The Leonards said their children were well cared for and happy there.

Now they’re fighting to have their children returned.

“We just want them back where they belong,” said Mr. Leonard.

Ed. Note: Maybe it’s time for someone to kidnap the children of Child Protective Services employees, so they know what it feels like! When is enough, enough? Revolution Now! Independence Forever!

The city of Portland was found liable for battery, but not liable for false arrest or malicious prosecution in the case. Jurors determined that Officer Kevin Tully had a right to arrest Jason Elgin after he fell asleep at a southeast Portland Denny’s. However, they also believed Tully went too far when he tasered Elgin two times on the floor during the arrest.

“I’m happy with how it turned out,” said Elgin. “I really wanted to speak on behalf of the public that the force was not needed.”

“I’m gratified the jury found no force was required, because a hell of a lot of force was used,” said Greg Kafoury, the plaintiff’s attorney.

Elgin’s civil claim against the city for false arrest, battery and malicious prosecution originally asked for $300,000 for pain and suffering and legal fees.

While officer Tully declined to comment, his attorney did. ”Mr. Tully’s actions were a reaction to what Mr. Elgin was doing and they were proportional, including the use of the Taser,” said Bill Manlove, Tully’s Attorney.

Security video from two different camera angles showed 32-year-old Jason Elgin and a fellow student from Portland Community College at the restaurant in 2009, where they appeared to be asleep.

The two went to the Denny’s in southeast Portland at about 2:00 a.m. Elgin claimed they were exhausted after celebrating the end of midterms. The manager at Denny’s called police to see if they could help awaken them.

Officer Kevin Tully can be seen approaching the students. The video does not show Elgin being tasered. There is a gap during the actual tasering and takedown. “The tape really upsets me, because honestly you can’t really see what’s (happening),” said Elgin. “It was the independent witnesses that made the difference in this case.”

From another angle, Elgin can be seen on the floor. His classmate testified she woke up to hear Elgin screaming. The city’s attorney said the video shows that Elgin provoked the arrest by resisting.

Several witnesses who were inside testified that virtually everything officer Tully said was a lie.

Elgin was tasered by officer Tully two times and was charged with trespass, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, harassment and interfering with a police officer. All the charges were dropped.

Abercrombie said on Tuesday that an investigation had unearthed papers proving Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961.

He told Honolulu’s Star-Advertiser, “It actually exists in the archives, written down,” he said.

But it became apparent that what had been discovered was an unspecified listing or notation of Obama’s birth that someone had made in the state archives and not a birth certificate.

Abercrombie suggested that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.

He said efforts were still being made to track down definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii.

Abercrombie was asked, “You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plan to release more information regarding (illegitimate) President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. How is that coming?”

He acknowledged the birth certificate issue would have political implications for the next presidential election “that we simply cannot have”.

“It’s a matter of principle with me,” the 72-year-old said. “I knew his mum and dad. I was here when he was born. Anybody who wants to ask a question honestly could have had their answer already.”

Credible evidence suggests that Obama, born in 1961, is not eligible to be Commander-in-Chief because he is not a natural born citizen. Witnesses, including Obama’s grandmother – who says she was present at his birth – indicate that Obama was actually born in Kenya, and Kenyan officials appear to confirm such allegations.

Some believe his Certification of Live Birth is fake and he was really born in Kenya. Others argue that Obama is a citizen of the United Kingdom or Indonesia. Most of these allegations have been dismissed rather than examined as to their factual basis.  Mainstream media and government sources have all denied the allegations, which of course is what one would expect of both.

The governor vowed when he took office in December that he would do his best to end the debate over Obama’s birth, which began in 2008 during the presidential campaign. To date, he has failed to keep that promise.

Airport police identified him as Aaron B. Tobey, 21. He told police he was a student at the University of Cincinnati. The incident occurred at 2:17 p.m. at Checkpoint B, the busier of the airport’s two checkpoints, said airport spokesman Troy M. Bell.

Bell said police reported that when they arrived at the checkpoint, they found Tobey, “absent of pants and shirt in full public view, exposing language regarding the Fourth Amendment written on his chest and abdomen with marker or crayon.”

The message read, “Amendment 4: The right of the people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated,” said Bell.

Many air travelers are upset by tough new, invasive screening procedures in which they must choose between full-body scanners that emit dangerous radiation or overly intrusive pat down searches that are tantamount to sexual assault.

Tobey was interviewed by airport police and federal authorities, issued a citation for disorderly conduct and released. He is scheduled for arraignment in Henrico County General District Court on January 10.
