In a stunning development, some military priests are facing arrest if they celebrate mass or practice their faith on military bases during the federal government shutdown.

“With the government shutdown, many [government service] and contract priests who minister to Catholics on military bases worldwide are not permitted to work – not even to volunteer,” wrote John Schlageter, the general counsel for the Archdiocese for the Military Services USA, in an op-ed this week. “During the shutdown, it is illegal for them to minister on base and they risk being arrested if they attempt to do so.”   Continue reading “Priests threatened with arrest if they minister to military during shutdown”

GRANTS PASS, ORE. –  A 14-year-old boy on a deer hunting trip shot and killed two others in the hunting party at a cabin in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, then accidentally shot and wounded himself, authorities said Thursday.

Authorities would not say whether they think the shooting of the two men was an accident or intentional, or whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the cabin. They were all part of a group staying at the cabin.   Continue reading “Oregon teen fatally shoots 2 men on hunting trip, sheriff says”

Washington DC was temporarily placed on police lockdown following a bizarre incident where a woman was said to have rammed a security barricade near the White House. After ramming the security barricade the woman who had a young child with her was pursued by several Capitol Police cruisers and brutally shot to death by the cops. The incident resulted in an immediate police lockdown of the area with a bunch of government goons roaming around the area with weapons. The corporate media even jumped over the story providing continuous coverage while presenting the incident as a possible terror attack. Although additional details are bound to come out shedding more light on this situation, new reports have revealed that the woman was unarmed. This raises serious questions about the actions of the Capitol Police not to mention the blatant media sensationalism surrounding this event.   Continue reading “Capitol Car Chase And Shooting Happens The Same Day As Major First Responder Drill In DC Area”

The Lost Lessons of "Black Hawk Down"War on the Rocks – by Benjamin Runkle

Today marks the 20th anniversary of The Battle of Mogadishu, the American operation in Somalia later immortalized by Mark Bowden’s seminal non-fiction book “Black Hawk Down” and dramatized in Ridley Scott’s exhilarating but slightly less non-fictional movie of the same name. On October 3, 1993, 160 U.S. Army Rangers and other special operations forces launched what was supposed to be a routine raid to capture two lieutenants of Somali warlord Mohammed Farah Aideed. But when two MH-60L helicopters providing fire support were shot down, the operation became a desperate search and rescue mission in which U.S. forces were besieged overnight by thousands of heavily armed Somali militiamen. Fourteen hours after the operation’s start, eighteen Americans were dead, 84 were wounded, and one pilot was missing.   Continue reading “The Lost Lessons of “Black Hawk Down””

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s decision to go ahead with unabated quantitative easing (QE) seems to have taken many by surprise. To such an extent that, from now on, the major market participants are saying they have totally lost faith in Ben Bernanke. True, Ben Bernanke has been saying constantly, for the last four years, he would first taper and then end his QE plans, and then, at each FOMC meeting, he has been saying the opposite. The Fed has printed over $3Trillion since 2007.   Continue reading “Bernanke’s « Syrian Moment »”

Educate Yourself – by Ken Adachi

[Editor’s Note. ZS Livingstone was likely the first reporter on the Internet to promptly alert the public on March 12, 2011 and again on March 14, 2011, of the heinous crimes of sabotage, destruction, and murder inflicted on the people of Japan on March 11, 2011 by the US government, with Israeli/Illuminati cabal collusion. There was no natural 9.0 earthquake and there was no “tsunami” that caused the massive destruction and loss of life in northern Japan on 3/11. There was only high tech sabotage and a media propaganda blitz carried out by the psychopathic, satanic criminals who control the US government and its military. Someday, the true story of the 3/11 attack on Japan will be told in full. In the meantime, we continue to cherish the remarkable insights offered by ZSl to enlighten and educate…Ken Adachi]   Continue reading “In Praise of Tokyo Electric Power Company TEPCO”

“There are reports of injuries,” said Terrance Gainer, the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms. CNN quotes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as saying there has been “one injury.”   Continue reading “Lockdown lifted after shooting near U.S. Capitol”

Just about every single media outlet has been plastered with “shutdown” propaganda. It’s so thick that you can almost feel their fear, which is Americans may not really give a sh*t.

I know that in my circle, I haven’t heard even the slightest peep about it. Not even for conversation’s sake. No one has said, “Hey did you hear about….?”   Continue reading “Shutdown-palooza Is Sickening”

The Obama Administration has decided to block access to public memorials on the National Mall as a result of the government shutdown. Like its decision to end White House tours when the sequester cuts took effect, there is no rational reason for this. The Park Police, nominally in charge of monitoring these spaces, isn’t even effected by the shutdown. Shutting off access to these sites is gratuitous and petulant.   Continue reading “Obama Administration Decided to Block Access to Memorials”

Sometimes timing is everything. Yesterday was day one of the federal government shutdown, and one of the biggest stories of the day was the barricading of the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., nearly preventing a group of 92 veterans from Mississippi who had been flown in on an Honor Flight from visiting the site. But it was also the day that the U.S. Army chose to award a $2,163 contract for a “massage chair”:   Continue reading “Despite Gov’t Shutdown, Army Awards $2,163 Contract for ‘Massage Chair’”

All across America yesterday, people were running into frustrating technical problems because the online Obamacare exchanges are full of glitches. Over fifty percent of the exchanges demonstrated critical failures, CNN reported. This is astonishing because CNN has long taken a pro-Obamacare stance.

“The CNN medical team branched out. We tried in about 20 different state states. In 12 of them we hit glitches,” CNN reported. “Sometimes it made it impossible to sign up. There were error messages or that little annoying kind of twirly thing.” (SOURCE)   Continue reading “Obamacare exchanges hit with over 50 percent fail rate; feds claim the worse the glitches, the bigger the success!”

Christmas Decorations in the Hobby Lobby store, Marlboro Township. New York Daily News – by DAVID KNOWLES

Happy holidays?

Hobby Lobby, the Oklahoma-based arts and crafts company founded by Christian evangelical David Green, stands accused of anti-Semitism because its stores do not carry Jewish holiday decorations.

The controversy erupted Friday after blogger Ken Berwitz posted an article on political website Hopelessly Partisan after receiving word that Hobby Lobby stores in Marlboro Township, N.J., refused to sell menorahs and other Jewish holiday items.   Continue reading “Hobby Lobby accused of anti-Semitism over lack of menorahs, Chanukah decorations”

Petitions 24

To: The President & Congress

This petition of course will not motivate Congress to take any real action, as they are controlled by special interests and not accountable to the people. Rather lets begin the discussion about shutting down large segments of the federal government and the transfer of these powers and programs back to the individual states and localities where they can benefit the unique needs of the people and at a far lower cost.   Continue reading “A Petition To Permanently Shutdown Washington”
