President of the Indiana Farmers Union, James Benham, sits down with LPACTV's Dennis Mason to discuss the general state of agriculture in the United States, and the prospective remedial policies. Along with strong endorsements of both Glass-Steagall and NAWAPA, also topics including farm price parity, alleviation of drought, and an end to speculation in agriculture are discussed.

Barack Obama's expansion of the Patriot missile batteries into Europe poses a threat to Russia; the policy of the Strategic Defense of the Earth, offered by the Russians, can change this dynamic altogether.

With the recent events in Gaza, the request by Turkey for Patriot missles and the warnings made by Russia, the threat of escalation to global Thermonuclear conflict is right at our door.

On Tuesday, March 12th, the upper house of the Russian Legislature, the Federation Council, held a special session which resulted in the passage of a resolution on asteroid defense. Here, we highlight some of the strategic context, and the discussion from the special session which led into this important resolution.

On February 15, 2013, the world was gripped by the largest asteroid impact in over 100 years. While much of the media is covering the event as such, there are larger issues being posed. The defense of Earth has been a subject of concern for many years, but we were just shown how shockingly unprepared we are to handle these threats.

The events that have dominated Gaza with the aftermath of military leader Ahmed Jabari’s targeted assassination draws us to conclude: The greatest threat to Israel’s national security comes from the Israeli leadership itself.
