Activist Post – by Ginger Jane Hammack

This cage has had societies under a spell for decades. The light from the lamp post is softly glowing. We’ve been starring at it for years. Our feet wet from random sprayings through the bars. Our spirits have been provoked to hunt inner truth and we wait.

While opening the King James Bible and turning to Proverbs 28:1 the most inspirational verse reads, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” While it is daunting to wake up the caged, I’m encouraged somehow to show them they can be bold as lions.   Continue reading “Humanity Roars Like Lions Caged Inside the Agenda 21 Matrix”

MADISON, Wis. –  Wisconsin police would be forbidden from enforcing any new federal gun and ammunition restrictions, bans or registration requirements under a bill a Republican lawmaker is circulating.

Rep. Michael Schraa of Oshkosh, a first-term legislator and a member of the National Rifle Association, sent out an email Tuesday to his fellow lawmakers seeking co-sponsors for the proposal. He also issued a statement to the media saying the bill is meant to send a message that Wisconsin won’t help the federal government restrict the public’s constitutional right to bear arms.   Continue reading “Wisconsin bill would bar police from enforcing any new federal gun restrictions”

In one sense it is good to see so many getting worked up over reports of the spying and data collection being done by the US government, but, on the other hand, I am very suspicious about mainstream media’s current “shock” at the disclosures. Shock doesn’t occur in MSM without at least quiet approval from those behind the scenes.   Continue reading “Are the Data Collection Leaks Just a Set Up by the Government?”

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Monday wouldn’t say whether he knew about the National Security Agency’s PRISM surveillance system , noting there are a number of classified programs the government uses.

Asked by “CBS This Morning” host Norah O’Donnell whether he knew about PRISM before the disclosures, the No. 2 Republican in the House said, “There are a variety of classified programs that exist for us to, again, guard against a terrorist threat.”   Continue reading “Eric Cantor ducks on PRISM”

Do you intrinsically possess individual privacy rights, based upon natural law authority, or are your civil liberties arbitrarily defined by the current whims of government? How you answer, this question speaks loudly about your understanding of the nature of your very being. Those who deem that natural law is a myth or a superstition are poised for voluntary surrender of their vital identity. The cataloging of individual essence is aberrant. Your deoxyribonucleic acid is the core element of personal uniqueness and human dignity. If your DNA is subject to government collection and storage, the right of personal privacy is destroyed.   Continue reading “The Essence of DNA Identity”

The National Security Agency pushed for the government to “rethink” the Fourth Amendment when it argued in a classified memo that it needed new authorities and capabilities for the information age.

The 2001 memo, later declassified and posted online by George Washington University’s National Security Archive, makes a case to the incoming George W. Bush administration that the NSA needs new authorities and technology to adapt to the Internet era.   Continue reading “NSA memo pushed to ‘rethink’ 4th Amendment”

As dissatisfaction with the U.S. public school system grows, apparently so has the appeal of homeschooling. Educational researchers, in fact, are expecting a surge in the number of students educated at home by their parents over the next ten years, as more parents reject public schools.

A recent report in Education News states that, since 1999, the number of children who are homeschooled has increased by 75%. Though homeschooled children represent only 4% of all school-age children nationwide, the number of children whose parents choose to educate them at home rather than a traditional academic setting is growing seven times faster than the number of children enrolling in grades K-12 every year.   Continue reading “Report: Homeschooling Growing Seven Times Faster than Public School Enrollment”

The drums of war beat louder by the day. The entire middle east is a lit fuse at this point. How long is the fuse is the question? The honest answer is no one truly knows. Rumors of a U.S. led war against Iran have been swirling for years.

During that time the United States has been racing to improve its bunker buster bombs which are capable of destroying facilities deep beneath the earth’s surface. The Pentagon recently announced they have made more improvements to the 30,000 pound Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP). This is the famed bomb that will most likely be used against Iran’s Nuclear Facilities which are buried deep beneath the earth.   Continue reading “U.S. Destroys Replica Iranian Nuclear Facility in Test of Latest “Bunker Buster” Bomb”

In a sign Venezuela’s food shortages could be worsening, restrictions on the sale of 20 basic items subject to price controls, including toilet paper and chicken, are set to begin next week in its most populous state, officials said Tuesday.

A spokesman for President Nicolas Maduro’s government said it is incorrect to call the plan rationing because it is meant to fight smuggling of price-controlled food across the border into Colombia. He said there are no plans to extend the program nationally.   Continue reading “Food rationing to begin in oil rich Venezuela”
