ENGLEWOOD, Fla., July 17 (UPI) — Residents of a rural area in Florida are fighting a proposed housing development by putting up signs warning their potential new neighbors about what really goes on at farms in Englewood.

Specifically: Noisy, smelly, outdoor sex.

Area residents are against the project, which would bring about 80 new homes into the neighborhood, because the Tromble Bay development would take up at least 40 acres of land and change what the region is all about.   Continue reading “‘Farm Animal Sex’ Sign Tries to Scare Off Housing Development”

July 16, 2014. The first two days this week gold was subjected to a series of computer HFT-driven “flash crashes” that were aimed at cooling off the big move higher gold has made since the beginning of June. During this move higher, the hedge funds, who typically “chase” the momentum of gold up or down, built up hefty long positions in gold futures over the last 6 weeks. In order to disrupt the upward momentum in the price of gold, the bullion banks short gold in the futures market by dumping large contracts that drive down the price and make money for the banks in the process.   Continue reading “Insider Trading and Financial Terrorism on Comex”

There were over 3,500 authorized wiretaps in the U.S. last year, mostly related to drug cases. One state, however, has far more wiretaps than any other based on its population.

That state is … Nevada. Data from the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts shows that the state had 38.2 wiretaps per 500,000 residents. That’s quite a bit considering Colorado came in second-place with 12.4!   Continue reading “You’re most likely to be wiretapped in this U.S. state”

Some of those who took part in the march also carried “semi-automatic rifles.”

According to the Detroit News, “the demonstrators… marched one mile, from city hall to a social services facility that would house the young undocumented immigrants.”   Continue reading “Armed Citizens Gather in Michigan, Protest ‘Invasion’ of Illegal Immigrants”

Imagine everything familiar collapsing like an accordion in the time between your morning coffee and your first midday yawn. It may happen just that way. In fact, it’s difficult to see how it can happen any other way.

Back in 2001, the Argentine economy all but collapsed. In a matter of days, the country went from mild recession to full-blown economic crisis. The currency went into freefall. Police were out in the streets shooting protestors. Unemployment and crime rates soared overnight. And the nation defaulted on its debt.

A city in China‘s violence-prone far western region of Xinjiang has banned matches and destroyed more than 20,000 boxes of them as part of efforts to fight terror attacks, a state-run newspaper said.

Fukang, which sits near regional capital Urumqi, decided to remove all matches from circulation to ensure they are not used by “terrorist groups or individual extremists to carry out criminal activities”, the People’s Daily said on its website.   Continue reading “Chinese City Bans, Destroys Matches to Fight Terror”

Every person needs to go through a national background check before they are allowed to purchase a gun, but sometimes that system fails, or guns are traded between people and no record is kept. It’s difficult to track down the people that have illegal firearms.

Now a new report from the Government Accountability Office is saying that our country’s top gun enforcement agency, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, doesn’t have the ability to track all the investigations involving illegal gun sales. Even though these investigations are classified as a top priority for the agency, the ATF doesn’t have the data readily available to track the suspects who weren’t flagged at the time of the purchase, but later were deemed ineligible to buy a gun because of a criminal record or a mental illness. The office says the reason for this is a four-year hiring freeze and not enough funding. Continue reading “Report: Government Agency Doesn’t Have Capacity to Track Illegal Gun Sales”

A photograph of Steven Spielberg posing on the set of his 1993 film Jurassic Park has gotten the director blasted on the internet for killing a dinosaur.

The director posed with one of the props from the flick when he filmed the movie, and after Jay Branscomb posted the image on his Facebook page with the caption, “Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man,” those not paying attention to the details became livid and posted some nasty comments.

This means over 200,000 Beretta M9 and Sig Sauer M11 pistols will be phased out, and replaced by 400,000 new guns the Defense Department is ready to purchase once a new model is agreed upon.   Continue reading “Army Retiring 9mm Pistols, Looking For More ‘Knock-Down Power’”

This War officially started April 12, 2014, at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada.  It is the War Against Tyranny, and especially the tyranny that has appeared in the USA.  Yes, it also “started” in the ’60s, or ’30s, or 1913 or 1860 or 1791.  Everything leads to something, so it’s a process.  Still, no matter the legal issues involved, it was April 12, 2014 that many Americans–for whatever their individual reasons–first said No to tyranny in this century.  And meant it.

This essay is one message and it’s the same message as that day:  The tyranny is done.  It’s over.  It won’t be tolerated.  It won’t be paid for.  It will be stopped.  Americans have always stopped tyranny the world over, and now we’re going to stop it here.   Continue reading “You Decide: Liberty or Tyranny? Happiness or Misery? Life or Death?”

What do a Republican candidate, a military veteran, a civil rights activist and a professor have in common? They are all American Muslims – and all have been subject to pervasive surveillance by the NSA and FBI.

A report published by The Intercept on Wednesday reveals that the two agencies used secretive procedures designed to catch terrorists and spies to monitor the email accounts of prominent American Muslim leaders. Among the documents supplied by Edward Snowden, a spreadsheet titled “FISA recap” contains 7,485 email addresses apparently monitored between 2002 and 2008. (The report also clearly documents how biased training by the FBI leads to biased surveillance, and that calling Muslims “ragheads” is everyday lingo at federal law enforcement agencies.)   Continue reading “Don’t be shocked that the US spied on American Muslims.
