Information has taken on a whole new meaning in the digital age, a time when sensitive data is either too easily accessible or not accessible enough. This issue of access to information encompasses fundamental human rights – specifically the freedom of speech as well as the right to privacy. Because it’s a primary means of maintaining transparency and accountability within government policies and decision-making in both the United States and around the globe, information is more valuable than ever to both government agencies and our individual lives. This guide takes an in-depth look at FOIA history and the importance of exercising your right to know. Continue reading “Right to Know: A Historical Guide to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)”

The mass media has been widely covering the details of the disastrous humanitarian situation in Rukban refugee camp over recent months. By the way, the crisis in other sites deserves more considerable attention. Al-Hol refugee camp located in Al-Hasakah province and run by the Syria Democratic Forces is one of them.
Every single day from 10 to 20 people, mainly women and children die due to the lack of drinking water, essential goods, and medicine. Only for the past two months, 250 children passed away in the camp. According to estimates, now more than 50,000 refugees reside there, although initially it was designed only for 25,000.

Hollywood has a clever way of distorting our perspective on history, and a great example of this is Western film – a movie genre we’ve all come to love. Cattle rustlers, guns blazing, outlaws running loose, and vigilantes dishing out vengeance indiscriminately. These scenes have become more synonymous with the American Frontier than Winchester and their “Cartridge That Won the West.” But these fictional tales have produced more than entertainment for over a century; they’ve also contributed to an ongoing, subtle push for gun control, all while making Hollywood millions.

Governments and corporations around the world seem to indicate that mankind has arrived at historic crossroads. While we would certainly welcome such a development we would also like to, first, test the accuracy of this assumption. Whether or not it is based on a foundation that reality and society provide at this very moment.
One realistic and efficient way to do so is by introducing two solutions for what is unilaterally being pushed upon the international community and the planet: the launching and putting into orbit of up to 25,000 satellites, as the space-based backbone of a global internet communication system. To realize a global “5G grid”. Continue reading “International Council on a Space-Based Internet Communication System – Initial Deployment of up to 25,000 Communication Satellites”
Following a dramatic hearing at a federal district court in Eastern Virginia, activist and former military prisoner Chelsea Manning was jailed by a judge for contempt of court after refusing to testify to a grand jury empaneled in the government’s long running criminal investigation into Wikileaks and its founder, Julian Assange.
The judge, the Hon. Claude H. Hilton, ruled that Manning must remain in civil detention until she testifies, her lawyer Moira Meltzer-Cohen told the New York Times. Continue reading “Chelsea Manning Jailed For Refusing To Testify About Wikileaks”
It is time to step up our efforts and move on, to a 5G embargo – globally.
Clearly the 5G grid, that is being built right now, is the power structure’s Achilles heel (kind of like the Death Star being under construction). Without it there’s no full-spectrum control grid in place, without it the world remains human intelligence-based, without it sovereign communities and people individually can stay in control of their rights. Continue reading “5G Embargo: People Should Ban All Commercial Activity that Advances the 5G Grid”
Prior to 1968, most adults in the United States could purchase a firearm without state interference. Guns were available in local retail stores, as well as mail-order catalogs, and as long as you hadn’t been convicted of a felony and you had the funds, there weren’t any questions asked.
Things are different now. Depending on where in America you are and what type of gun you want to buy, there’s a good chance you’ll need to pass a NICS-mandated background check to complete your purchase.

Facebook has targeted politicians around the world – including the former UK chancellor, George Osborne – promising investments and incentives while seeking to pressure them into lobbying on Facebook’s behalf against data privacy legislation, an explosive new leak of internal Facebook documents has revealed.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a corporate member of the world-government-promoting Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), has launched a massive new lobbying effort called the USMCA Coalition to garner congressional and public support for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement integration scheme.

Dr. Bruce Levine joins us once again to discuss his book Resisting Illegitimate Authority: A Thinking Person’s Guide to Being an Anti-Authoritarian―Strategies, Tools, and Models. We talk about authoritarianism and anti-authoritarianism, how dissent has been pathologized by power structures in the past, how it is pathologized today, and how anti-authoritarians can fruitfully resist and dissent against oppressive power structures.

Sometimes if you fight hard enough and refuse to back down, no matter the odds, your truth is vindicated and prevails!
For twenty years I have been labeled a conspiracy theorist, scaremonger, extremist, dangerous, nut case. I’ve been denied access to stages, major news programs, and awarded tin foil hats. All because I have worked to expose Agenda 21 and its policy of sustainable development as a danger to our property rights, economic system, and culture of freedom.

“Go F*ck Yourself” – Tucker Carlson Bursts Into Expletive-Ridden Tirade During Unaired Fox Interview
This is the interview Fox News didn’t want you to see.
In footage leaked by YouTube channel Now This that looks like it was clandestinely filmed in a control room somewhere inside 1211 Avenue of the Americas, Carlson can be heard cursing out historian Rutger Bregman and dropping several expletives after the two got into a heated debate about the “globalist elite”.

It’s no secret that the media giant Google is the hegemon on the Internet nowadays. Millions of new users continue to register on corporation-controlled sites every day, leaving almost complete information not only about themselves, but about their friends and families. However, many users do not care about their data security. Should anyone be worried about this at all? Continue reading “Google is watching you”
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that she may file a legal challenge against President Trump if he declares a national emergency in order to build a southern border wall. She added that if he does this, a Democratic president could declare a national emergency to address gun violence in America.
During a press conference on Thursday, a reporter asked Pelosi about the president’s claim that he will declare a national emergency after he signs the spending bill and whether she intends to follow through on her claims to take legal action against Trump in that case. Continue reading “Pelosi Threatens Trump: A Democratic President Can Declare an Emergency to Address Gun Violence”
The American Revolution was sparked in part by unjust taxation. After all, the colonists in Boston rebelled against Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” and summarily tossed English tea into the harbor in protest in 1773.
Nowadays Americans collectively spend more than 6 billion hours each year filling out tax forms, keeping records, and learning new tax rules according to the Office of Management and Budget. Complying with the byzantine U.S. tax code is estimated to cost the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually – time and money that could otherwise be used for more productive activities like entrepreneurship and investment, or just more family and leisure time.

It is unlikely, but now at least possible, that Nancy Pelosi will be the next president of the United States. It will not happen by election in 2020, but by succession to the White House this year. Some of you might recall that after the near assassination of Ronald Reagan, chaos ensued in the White House. Secretary of State Alexander Haig told reporters, “Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the president, the vice president and the secretary of state, in that order.” He added, “As for now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending the return of the vice president.” He was wrong.
