Why Americans Are Backing Trump and Sanders Over the Mainstream Candidates Backed By the Political Machines
We’ve previously noted that polls show that Americans are in a “pre-revolutionary” mood, that less than 1 in 5 Americans think that the government has the “consent of the governed”, that government corruption tops the list of Americans’ fears, and that 3 times as many Americans supported King George during the Revolutionary War than support our OWN Congress today.

A BBC Radio 4 investigation sheds new light on a major subject that has received little historical attention, the conspiracy on behalf of a group of influential powerbrokers, led by Prescott Bush, to overthrow FDR and implement a fascist dictatorship in the U.S. based around the ideology of Mussolini and Hitler.
In 1933, Marine Corps Maj.-Gen. Smedley Butler was approached by a wealthy and secretive group of industrialists and bankers, including Prescott Bush the current President’s grandfather, who asked him to command a 500,000 strong rogue army of veterans that would help stage a coup to topple then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The dramatic fall in the global price of oil is being cited by the financial press, government officials, and academia as the catalyst for the recent abysmal U.S. economic data which shows that the economy is, in all likelihood, sliding into a recession or worse.

The Economic Populist – by Robert Oak
The January 2016 unemployment report is being reported as nothing but good news. The official unemployment rate is 4.9%, a rate not seen since February 2008. This is the weird month where annual population adjustments are applied and not backwards adjusted. Therefore January to December comparisons are not valid. Still, there are some trends to look at. The labor participate rate is a very low 62.7% and those not counted in the unemployment rate who say they want a job is almost six million. Overall, this month’s CPS report shows a mediocre unemployment situation for most, in spite of the official unemployment rate breaking five percent.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck southern Taiwan early Saturday, toppling at least one high-rise residential building and trapping people inside. Firefighters rushed to pull out survivors.
Firefighters scrambled to the site with ladders, cranes and other equipment and pulled survivors from the building in the southern city of Tainan, footage from local TV broadcasters showed. It was unclear how many people were trapped inside. Some reports said dozens or scores of people might have been in the building at the time of the collapse.

About an hour ago, representatives from 12 different nations officially signed the Trans Pacific Partnership (TTP) agreement in Auckland, New Zealand. The date, February 4th (New Zealand time) is noteworthy, because it’s 90 days after the official text was released. There was a 90 day clock that was required between releasing the text and before the US could actually sign onto the agreement. The stated purpose of this 90 day clock was in order to allow “debate” about the agreement. Remember, the entire agreement was negotiated in secret, with US officials treating the text of the document as if it were a national security secret (unless you were an industry lobbyist, of course). So as a nod to pretend “transparency” there was a promise that nothing would be signed for 90 days after the text was actually released.

Uranium One has purchased Uranium thru Hillary Clinton. Thats a problem all by itself. But lets look at the situation with mining the Uranium. First off everyone needs to look at the environmental impact statement of whatever company will be mining the Uranium and look at the mitigation statement of the same.
More than likely there is a huge impact statement plus a large amount of land mitigation. (put land into conservation for said impact) If the Uranium deposit is as large as it appears to be then the mitigation of land will be huge. In simple terms if the land will be affected by mining then an equal or larger amount of land must be put in conservation in order to mitigate the impact of said operation.

Robots, algorithms and machines sometimes seem designed to destroy us. They take our jobs, manipulate our Facebook News Feeds and rain death on foreign nations from across the world. But some robots can be heroes, saving us from the dreary agents of capitalism.
The Jolly Roger is such a bot, designed to lead telemarketers down a rhetorical maze to keep them busy until they’re at their wits’ end while you go on about your day.

With so many survival bags that cover a variety of disaster scenarios (bug out bags, get home bags, everyday carry kits), why would we need another one? Well, because different people prepare for different things and many realize that smaller emergencies are also prep-worthy.
In this article, I’d like to tackle the issue of a prolonged power outage, specifically, how it can occur and how you can protect from it by having a lights out box, also known as a lights out kit. Continue reading “Here’s How to Make a Lights Out Box”
A dramatic video in Mexico shows at least six police officers running away from cartel members who ended up murdering a businessman as his family watched in horror.
The man’s family reached out to police for help when a group of gunmen showed up at their house in Cristo Rey, Sinaloa and dragged him out of the house, according to local newspaper Noroeste.
But instead of helping the family, the officers showed up, saw they were outmanned, and ran away, cell phone video captured by the family shows. Continue reading “6 Mexican cops run from cartel hitmen who execute man in front of his family”
