Government leaders are expected to agree in November that the world’s top banks must issue special bonds to increase the amount of capital which can be tapped in a crisis instead of calling on taxpayers to come to the rescue, industry and G20 officials said.

The bonds, known as “gone concern loss absorption capacity” or GLAC, are seen by regulators as essential to stopping the world’s 29 biggest lenders from being “too big to fail”.   Continue reading “G20 edging towards deal on ‘bail-in’ bond cushion for banks”

Long rolling temblor pegged at 6.0 by the U.S. Geological Survey shook a wide swath of the Bay Area awake early Sunday.

Centered about nine miles south of wine country’s Napa at 3:20 a.m., the quake was felt as far south as Santa Cruz and into Sonoma County. It was the largest earthquake to strike the Bay Area since the Loma Prieta temblor of 1989, the USGS said.   Continue reading “6.0 quake jolts Bay Area; outages, injuries reported”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. –  The small, northwestern New Mexico city of Bloomfield is choosing orders handed down to Moses over one issued by a judge, but they say it is a matter of history, and not religion.

Leaders in the community of about 8,000, already under fire for refusing to remove a monument in front of City Hall, voted unanimously to appeal a federal court’s order. The 4-0 vote, said city attorney Ryan Lane, stays the judge’s order to remove the monument by the Sept. 10 deadline. Rather than fight the decision from the angle of freedom of speech and religion, Lane is going to present the monument as an historical document just like other monuments in the town depicting the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Gettysburg Address.   Continue reading “Ten Commandments part of history, N.M. city leaders to say in appeal of court order”

This past week, I have been examining a recently leaked document from the Department Of Homeland Security entitled “Domestic Violent Extremists Pose A Threat To Government Officials And Law Enforcement.” (Yes; the title leaves nothing to the imagination.)

Generally, such documents are not classified. But it is internally accepted within establishment agencies that they should not be shared with the public. Similar documents like the Missouri Information Analysis Center report titled “The Modern Militia Movement” and the Virginia Fusion Center’s Terrorism Threat Assessment are not designed to import in-depth knowledge to law enforcement. In fact, if you actually investigate these white papers thoroughly, you will find they read like a mentally challenged middle-school student’s last-minute book report on liberty groups in America.   Continue reading “When ‘Anti-Government’ Violence Erupts, Who Is Really At Fault?”

Washington’s stooge government in Ukraine has not released the records of communications between Ukrainian air traffic control and Malaysian flight 17, and Washington has not released the photos from its satellite that was directly overhead at the time of the airliner’s demise.   Continue reading “What Russia can do about Ukraine”

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) believes the jihadist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL) may have already sent militants across the U.S.-Mexican border.

Perry was directly asked about this prospect Thursday afternoon after he gave a border-security speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who spent much of the speech castigating ISIS after the group brutally executed an American journalist earlier this week, said there was “a very real” risk they were already inside the U.S.   Continue reading “Rick Perry: There Is ‘A Very Real Possibility’ ISIS Forces Have Crossed US-Mexican Border”

In early January of 2007, a young man and woman were abducted from a parking lot, tortured, sexually assaulted and brutally murdered. The murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom went widely underreported. Many have felt that this was due to the nature of the crime- Christian and Newsom were murdered by black assailants and the victims were white.

Thanks to a revolving-door American penal policy, one of the murderers may soon be out of prison for “good behavior.”   Continue reading “OUTRAGEOUS: Brutal Double-Murderer Eligible for Parole 7 Years After Tortures, Murders”

Thirty states plus the District of Columbia have sought the Center for Disease Control’s help identifying potential cases of Ebola.

The map above is based on a list of those states provided to Breitbart News Thursday by the CDC. The list shows (in bright red) all the states which have asked for the CDC’s help with potential Ebola cases since July 27th.

When contacted for consultation, the CDC examines the patient’s symptoms and travel history to decide whether or not a blood test is needed. In most cases, the CDC is able to rule out Ebola without the need for a blood test.   Continue reading “CDC: 30 States plus DC have requested help with possible ebola cases”

The following is taken from a 1989 book by Robert J. Byrne, “Existence in America -The Road Back to Decency & Order”.  It refers to the most important rights that all Americans had and must see returned.

1. It is a priority right not to have a crime committed against your person.
2. It is a priority right to go from point A to point B on public streets and/or public transportation, or use public parks, without constantly having a justifiable fear for your safety.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested that Republican candidates in this year’s midterm elections should run on granting a pathway to citizenship for all of the country’s illegal immigrants.

Ryan, who had reportedly been working behind the scenes with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) to get House Republicans to support a broader immigration bill, said that he was “having problems” convincing conservatives to support immigration reform, which he said was “very important.”   Continue reading “Paul Ryan Suggests GOP Candidates in Midterms Should Run on Giving Illegals Citizenship”

HOUSTON, Texas — The JAG (Judge Advocate General) Office of the Texas National Guard (TNG) briefed guardsmen about to be deployed to South Texas to leave their personal firearms at home. This applies even if the guardsman has a Texas Concealed Handgun License or is a certified peace officer in their civilian life.

This briefing was disclosed by one of the soldiers who is about to be deployed to a section of the Rio Grande Sector of the Texas/Mexico border as part of Governor Rick Perry’s 1,000 soldier deployment order. “They told us we are considered to be ‘on duty’ 24/7,” the soldier told Breitbart Texas. “Even when we are in civilian clothes, we are not allowed the same right of self-protection as any other citizen of this state.”   Continue reading “National Guard to Soldiers at Border: No Personal Weapons, Even Off-Duty”

TUCSON, Arizona — On July 14, Breitbart Texas revealed that an Arizona military testing facility was a hotbed of drug and human smuggling, partly due to its remote location and ineffective security protocols. The report also explained how security had been contracted out to a private company, and that Breitbart Texas sources had indicated managers of the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR) were unhappy with the private company’s performance, the Chiulista Corporation. On August 4, a former Chiulista employee contacted Breitbart Texas to confirm the BMGR’s vulnerabilities and poor security management practices.    Continue reading “Border Area Us Military Range Hotbed For Smugglers Due To Management, Say Whistleblowers”
