The Department of Homeland Security’s plans to occupy an old psychiatric hospital in the Washington D.C. area have slowly been moving forward, despite the project’s enormous projected cost.
The mammoth governmental entity, which has come to umbrella the offices of the Border Patrol Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, FEMA, the abhorrent TSA, and even the Coast Guard since its creation in 2002, is working to consolidate all of its agencies within one campus at a cost of $4.5 billion.

Fail to pay your mortgage due to the collapsed economy? SWAT members may show up wearing full military gear in order to forcefully evict you from your home at the direction of international banking cartels.
There have been numerous instances of this, but one that was really ignored for the most part happened back in November of last year as reported on by AOL Real Estate in a piece that has virtually zero views. Because apparently militarized SWAT troopers removing an elderly woman from her home because she couldn’t keep up with paying the mega banks that are bloated with $83 billion per year in taxpayer funding is now the role of the ‘debt force’ SWAT team.

Reports that the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) had been shut down permanently were apparently a bit premature. According to HAARP program manager James Keeney, the facility is only temporarily off the air while operating contractors are changed. So why does anyone care? Despite being associated with various natural disasters over the past two decades by the conspiracy fringe, HAARP is in reality a facility for studying the ionosphere. Let’s take a look at the goings on at HAARP – past, present, and future. Continue reading “HAARP ionospheric research program set to continue”
Downtown Detroit has long been one of the nation’s worst housing markets. Home values have plummeted. Vacancies abound. And foreclosure numbers are through the roof.

Joe Draego refused to show police his drivers license at the checkpoint because he says he did nothing wrong and does not have to hand it over to them. Draego says it’s his way of standing up against what he calls an aggressive and entitled police force.
“I told him I wasn’t going to give him my ID, that it was unconstitutional,” said Draego, who was stopped at the checkpoint on Old Brooke Road on Thursday on his way home. “I asked him if I was being charged with a crime, he said ‘no’ so I said, I’m free to go.” Continue reading “Alb. Co. Man Refuses To Show ID At Traffic Checkpoint”
