Imagine how much better off America’s veterans would be if the federal government spent more time delivering actual care and less time compiling tyrannical lists. The death-inducing secret waiting lists for patients are just the tip of the iceberg.

Did you know, for example, that the VA keeps a database on “disgruntled” and “disruptive” vets that results in arbitrarily restricted care?   Continue reading “Exposed: How the VA Red-Flags ‘Disruptive’ Vets”

The Daily Sheeple

The government has plans to tax Americans for every mile they drive.

This is about more than just generating revenue or saving the planet from all of those “greenhouse gases”.

This is part of the Agenda 21 lot to corral people in one place. It is to discourage people from living outside the city and commuting to work. It is a plan that will force many to rely on public transportation. Lots of people in a small area are far easier to control than people scattered about in wide open spaces.   Continue reading “Coming Soon: Americans to be Taxed for Every Mile They Drive”

Who's Responsible For The Latest Attack on America's Power Grid?Disclose TV

Last Wednesday, a small power station in Nogales, Arizona was the site of a mysterious bomb attack that left no injuries, nor any witnesses. The assailant(s) broke into the facility sometime between 4pm Tuesday and 8 am Wednesday, and planted a small incendiary device on the valve of a 50,000 gallon diesel tank. The device managed to burn the surface of the steel, but failed to ignite the fuel inside the container. If they had succeeded it could have disrupted power for 30,000 people.

The FBI is currently investigating the attack, but have no leads as far as we know. There were no signs of vandalism that are often left behind by environmental terrorists, who would normally be suspected in an electrical grid attack. The FBI is currently looking into several other incidents that were reported earlier this year:   Continue reading “Who’s Responsible For The Latest Attack on America’s Power Grid?”

World War lll is not around the corner, it is not coming next week, or next month, it’s happening now.

World War lll is a religious war and it has already started. The murder of Christians around the globe is an indicator of what is to come unless the march of Islam is stopped in it’s tracks.   Continue reading “World War lll is Happening Now: The War on Christianity by Islam Has Begun and it’s a Fight to the Death”

A US Department of Defense (DoD) research programme is funding universities to model the dynamics, risks and tipping points for large-scale civil unrest across the world, under the supervision of various US military agencies.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kansas, backed the charge by releasing the June 4 e-mail from Janet Murphy, acting deputy under secretary for health at VA, to dozens of top-tier officials nationwide instructing them not to talk to outsiders, including members of local congressional delegations.   Continue reading “Veterans Affairs issued ‘gag order’ and engaged in criminal cover-ups, lawmakers say”

In another case, an employee claimed to have been demoted after disclosing alleged mishandling of patient care funds.
