The Great Collapse has already begun.   Continue reading “2016 Economic Predictions: Year of the Epocalypse”

Although it may come as a surprise to many Americans we have been mischaracterized and misidentified as British Crown Subjects for the better part of a hundred years. This travesty has never been corrected; instead, the British Crown, a commercial investment organization, has kidnapped and press-ganged American land assets into the international jurisdiction of the sea and has pillaged our labor and our resources without mercy in criminal conspiracy and contempt of our Constitution. They have been aided and abetted in this activity by members of the American Bar Association and the Internal Revenue Service acting as licensed privateers.   Continue reading “Regarding the Take Over of BLM Facilities in the Western States”

Atlanta, GA – A Georgia State Senator wants to make it harder for certain people going through a divorce to buy a gun.  State Senator Doc Rhett, Democrat from Marietta, said SB250 would prevent a person who is going through a divorce and has a violent history or a restraining order, from buying a gun without a judge’s permission. SB250 would not pertain to a spouse who wants a gun for protection.  “If they want to purchase a gun to protect themselves, that’s fine because they’re not the aggressor,” said Sen. Rhett.    Continue reading “Ga Senator Wants New Gun Laws For People Going Through Divorce”
