    Why has it ever even bothered me that many thousands of people have been kidnapped and illegally rendered to CIA dark sites to be sometimes tortured to death or held for many years without any legitimate legal process?

   That the use of “intelligence” information obtained from torture, well known to be mostly unreliable and useless, is now the norm for the supposedly civilized western nations of the world?   Continue reading “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Torture, plus the illegal invasions, the summary executions, and the surveillance state”

De Blasio pushes ID cards for illegal immigrants in speechNew York Post – by Yoav Gonen and Beth DeFalco

Following through on a campaign pledge, Mayor de Blasio said Monday that he’ll push to create municipal ID cards so illegal immigrants don’t have to “live their lives in the shadows.”

While the cards would be available to all New Yorkers, they would be aimed at undocumented immigrants who don’t have access to bank accounts, library cards and even memberships at Costco because they can’t produce official photo ID.   Continue reading “De Blasio pushes ID cards for illegal immigrants in speech”

The House approved a year-long suspension of the nation’s debt limit Tuesday in a vote that left Republicans once again ceding control to Democrats after a collapse in support for an earlier proposal advanced by Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).

In a narrow vote, 221 to 201, just 28 Republicans joined nearly all Democrats to approve a “clean” extension of the government’s borrowing authority — one without strings attached — sending the measure to the Senate for a final vote, probably this week.   Continue reading “House passes ‘clean’ debt-ceiling bill, ending two-week showdown”

The LAPD-Israel bond was in large part fused by former LAPD Chief William Bratton, who made official trips to Israel to learn about the country’s advanced counter-terrorism tactics during his chiefdom from 2002 to 2009. At a town hall meeting in Los Angeles near the end of his term, Bratton said of Israeli intelligence experts: “They are our allies. They are some of the best at what they do in the world, and that close relationship has been one of growing strength and importance.”   Continue reading “LAPD scopes out Israeli drones, ‘big data’ solutions”

Can American States Rein In An Out-Of-Control Federal Spy Agency?

The American people aren’t falling for NSA’s propaganda. They want the rogue agency reined in.

But Obama refuses to rein in the NSA, Dianne Feinstein says that Congress “doesn’t have the votes” to do anything about mass surveillance, and at least some judges are supporting the NSA’s spying (and it’s not clear what the Supreme Court will do).   Continue reading “11 States Fight Back Against NSA Spying”

ATLANTA (AP) — With memories of gridlock on icy Atlanta highways still fresh, Georgia officials got a second chance Monday to prove the state could prepare for winter weather.

Minnesota Now Offering Enhanced Drivers LicensesKeloland TV – by Andy Graning

SIOUX FALLS, SD – Minnesota drivers can now get an enhanced drivers license.

The new IDs allow residents to go to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean without a passport.  For an extra $15 a license, the cards have an embedded radio frequency chip used at border crossings.  Physically the licenses say enhanced and have an American flag.   Continue reading “Minnesota Now Offering Enhanced Drivers Licenses”

6_DC_Police_TerrorizeAmerican Free Press – by Dave Gahary

In a town “ranked eighth in murders per capita in cities populated with 500,000 or more residents” in 2012, it would be reasonable to assume that the 3,800-strong Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC) would be busy chasing down leads to solve crimes. It would seem, however, that the cops in Washington, D.C. have bigger fish to fry.

Take their latest catch, Mark Witaschek, “a successful financial adviser with no criminal record,” who was “facing two years in prison for possession of unregistered ammunition.” This was no ordinary ammunition, however. In fact, this was “the first known case of a citizen being prosecuted in D.C. for inoperable ammunition.” Mr. Witaschek is a legal gun owner and avid hunter, who stores his firearms at his sister’s home in Arlington, Virginia, in order to abide by the law. In fact, Mr. Witaschek has never had a firearm in D.C.   Continue reading “D.C. Police, Attorney General Terrorize Citizen”

I recently interviewed Daniel Estulin the author of what will be the newest best seller, TransEvolution: The Coming Age of Human Deconstruction.

Estulin wrote the book based largely on a Bilderberg white paper which was smuggled to him by a Bilderberg insider. The document was filled with information which spelled the end of the human race as we know it.   Continue reading “The Bilderberg Plan to Obliterate Humanity”

The Left-Right DivideReal Currencies – by Anthony Migchels

The bickering of the right and the left looks more hopeless everyday. The eternal Capitalism vs. Marxism dialectic is alive, but is it still well?

As we know, the Money Power directs history through dialectics. By creating two camps with a narrative that both suit our masters, they co-opt opposition.

Both sides of the coin always have some good points and some very bad ones. Because people feel forced to make a choice, they are seduced into the evil/lesser evil kind of thinking that is so symptomatic of the Dark Side. By polluting an in itself worthwhile position with other nasty ones, they get what they want anyway.   Continue reading “How Ignoring Usury Makes Us All Look Like Fools”

Get ready to pay more: Christmas tree growers will put millions into a Farm Bill-approved fund to hep them with marketing, with consumers likely footing the bill in the form of higher pricesDaily Mail – by DAVID MARTOSKO

The federal government pays for a $15 million ‘wool trust fund,’ runs a $170 million program to protect catfish growers from overseas competition, sets aside $3 million to promote Christmas trees, funds another $2 million to help farmers sell more sheep, and plunks down $100 million researching how to get Americans to buy more maple syrup.

And that spending is just three one-hundredths of one per cent of the Farm Bill that President Barack Obama signed Friday in Michigan.   Continue reading “Catfish oversight, weather radios and a Christmas tree tax: Meet the pork-filled $956 BILLION Farm Bill”
