Lost in the ranks: Canadian veteran can’t get compensation

Josh Miller isn’t his real name. The 26-year-old ex-corporal says he’s under a standard two-year agreement not to speak to media upon leaving the Canadian Forces. He’s also worried any negative comments could impact the medical settlements he’s fighting to get from Veterans Affairs.
Still, he wanted to talk.
Miller recently moved to Halifax with his girlfriend while she finishes school. Before that, he was serving his country as an infantry member in Afghanistan. He’s tall, broad-shouldered, and has literally been through a war. But all those experiences have left him a different person; struggling to adjust to civilian life back home.
“I’m not the same person I used to be,” he says. “I used to be a very chilled, laid-back person. But now, it doesn’t take anything to make me snap and make me irate.”

It turns out that scientists underestimated the speed with which the debris would reach the Western coast of North America.

(NaturalNews) We are living through a time of great awakening. The people of our world are beginning to open their eyes and realize the stunning depth of the scams and collusion taking place all around them. These scams that steal their wealth, poison them with chemicals, enslave them with financial trickery and control their minds with propaganda. These scams are the very fabric of modern government, the mainstream media, universities and so-called “science” institutions.
Here are 11 of those scams that you probably never would have believed just 2-3 years ago; but now you probably realize these are true!
Welcome to the real world, my friends. Now that we recognize the depth of the scams, let’s change things for the better. (Occupy America!)
Nanotechnology Ushers in Cloak of Invisibility (Video)

Transparent carbon nanotube sheets are fulfilling the promise of invisibility. Ali Aliev is a University of Texas scientist that uses the carbon nanotubes to bend surface light around an object, producing a mirage effect that can hide physical objects. While this is being announced as current research, the military has already long been experimenting with similar cloaking devices as well as nano-enhanced hybrids for both invisibility and body armor. The U.S. scientific community is fully supported by the government by itsNational Nanotechnology Initiative 2011 Strategic Plan to exploit nanotech to the fullest extent. Demonstrations like the one below are meant to introduce the “coolness” of it all. Indeed nanotechnology is interesting and mind blowing, but we would be wise to also learn about the other applications that the government is working on in the areas of surveillance, data control, and human movement so that we can urge those discovering the capabilities of nanotech to use it for the betterment of mankind, not for military weaponry and citizen enslavement.

We were going to respect this woman’s desire to not be filmed or identified because she said she could lose her job just for being there, that is, until she showed her disdain for others by trying to bully various people at McPherson Square into following her agenda and physically interfere with our filming. We decided it was more important to hold her accountable. Please help us out this woman. I believe her name is Melissa.

Looks like the protest is heating up.
Demonstrators were on the move as the event was permitted by police almost as a test fire training session.
The police started using sticks on people as well:
