After spending nearly $100 million to get an amnesty bill, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us is not giving up–even if President Barack Obama is signaling that he has.

After Obama said Monday that he would start unilaterally changing the country’s immigration laws, Joe Green, the president of FWD.us, was frustrated that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told the President that there would not be a vote on amnesty this year.   Continue reading “Mark Zuckerberg Group Not Giving Up, Urges Congress To Pass Amnesty ASAP”

If you have been searching for jobs these past six months or so, you’ve probably noticed an increasing amount of “Work at Home” jobs in the service sector. These are the kind of customer service and sales jobs that you would normally do at a call center, but now the companies are allowing you the ability to work at home on your own computer “for your convenience”.

It sounds great, as you don’t have to beat traffic to go to work, don’t have to put make-up on or dress appropriately, and you might even get in a few of your favorite shows here and there without anyone noticing between calls or even listen to your favorite music downloaded on your computer. What more can anyone ask for, right?   Continue reading ““Work at Home” Jobs and their Negative Impact on Future Job Growth”

Iraq’s Kurds will hold an independence referendum within months, their leader Massud Barzani said on Tuesday, as the region reels under a brutal offensive by Sunni jihadists who have declared an Islamic caliphate.

Barzani said the time was right for a vote as Iraq was already effectively partitioned following the lightning gains by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS), formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).   Continue reading “Kurds to vote on independence from Iraq in months, leader says”

Do you wish that you had a better job?  If so, you are not alone.  In fact, there are millions upon millions of Americans that get up every day and go to a job that they wish that they could afford to quit.  Unfortunately, most Americans end up just desperately holding on to the jobs that they have because just about any job is valuable in this economic environment.  Over the past decade, the long-term trends that are destroying jobs in America have accelerated.  We have seen countless numbers of jobs shipped overseas, we have seen countless numbers of jobs replaced by technology, we have seen countless numbers of jobs taken by immigrants and we have seen countless numbers of jobs lost to the overall decline of the once great U.S. economy.  Unfortunately, even though we can all see this happening, our “leaders” have failed to come up with any solutions.  Continue reading “17 Facts That Prove That The Quality Of Jobs In America Is Going Down The Drain”

In its continued push to make the yuan a global currency, China’s central bank said Sunday it plans to designate clearing banks for its currency in Paris and Luxembourg, as the two financial centers battle with London to become the leading European offshore yuan-trading city.

The People’s Bank of China announced the move in two separate statements Sunday. It didn’t say when it would designate the clearing banks.   Continue reading “China to Set Yuan Clearing Banks in Luxembourg, Paris”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

A lot of people that I talk to these days want to know “when things are going to start happening”.  Well, there are certainly some perilous times on the horizon, but all you have to do is open up your eyes and look to see the global economic crisis unfolding.  As you will see below, even central bankers are issuing frightening warnings about “dangerous new asset bubbles” and even the World Bank is declaring that “now is the time to prepare” for the next crisis.  Most Americans tend to only care about what is happening in the United States, but the truth is that serious economic trouble is erupting in South America, all across Europe and in Asian powerhouses such as China and Japan.  And the endless conflicts in the Middle East could erupt into a major regional war at just about any time.  We live in a world that is becoming increasingly unstable, and people need to understand that the period of relative stability that we are enjoying right now is extremely vulnerable and will not last long.  The following are 18 signs that the global economic crisis is accelerating as we enter the last half of 2014…   Continue reading “18 Signs That The Global Economic Crisis Is Accelerating As We Enter The Last Half Of 2014”

Ever since 9/11, it has been apparent that the American empire is living on borrowed time. In more recent years, the inevitable collapse of American world hegemony and the unipolar world is one that very few informed observers can continue to ignore. 

Riddled with massive unemployment, an overextended military, entrenched police state, crumbling infrastructure, and the ever-present threat to the US dollar, it is clear that the United States is merely the shell of its former self. Indeed, in 2014, the concept of long-term American primacy is only a fantasy maintained by the mainstream media with its constant repetition of meaningless and absurd notions of recoveries, humanitarian interventions, and national security.

The environmental campaigning group Greenpeace, digital rights watchdog Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Tenth Amendment Center (TAC) joined forces today to fly an airship over the NSA’s data center in Utah to protest the government’s illegal mass surveillance program.

Greenpeace flew its 135-foot-long thermal airship over the Bluffdale, UT, data center early Friday morning, carrying the message: “NSA Illegal Spying Below” along with a link steering people to a new web site, StandAgainstSpying.org, which the three groups launched with the support of a separate, diverse coalition of over 20 grassroots advocacy groups and Internet companies. The site grades members of Congress on what they have done, or often not done, to rein in the NSA. Continue reading “Activists Use Blimp to Spy on NSA’s Data Center in Utah”

Since the Southern border crisis began, we have been discussing how illegal immigrants from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala are crossing our borders and invading our country in mass waves. We have talked about what is happening on our side of the border and how our border patrol agents are trying to deal with the situation. We have even reported how drug cartels and Mexican soldiers are crossing our borders and shooting at our border patrol agents and how the Mexican border patrol is doing absolutely nothing about it.

But one question that no one is asking in the media is, “Why aren’t we going to war with Mexico and Central America?”   Continue reading “The Question no one in the media is asking: Why aren’t we going to war with Mexico and Central America?”

MOSCOW (AP) — On Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demand, the upper house of the Russian parliament on Wednesday canceled a resolution allowing the use of military in Ukraine, a move intended to show Moscow’s eagerness to de-escalate tensions and avoid a new round of Western sanctions.

Putin had said his request, made a day earlier, was intended to help support the peace process in Ukraine, which began Friday with a weeklong cease-fire. Putin needs to show his support for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s peace plan ahead of Friday’s European Union summit, which is set to discuss new sanctions against Russia.   Continue reading “Russia annuls sanction for use of force in Ukraine”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. economy contracted at a much steeper pace in the first quarter than previously estimated, turning in one of its worst-ever non-recession performances, but growth already appears to have rebounded strongly.

The Commerce Department said on Wednesday gross domestic product fell at a 2.9 percent annual rate, the sharpest decline in five years, instead of the 1.0 percent pace it had reported last month.   Continue reading “U.S. economy collapses in first quarter, but growing again”

The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham is threatening to take control of Balad Airbase, Iraq’s largest airfield and one of America’s most important military outposts during its occupation of the country.

Today, Balad still has plenty of vehicles and aircraft on the base that any terrorist group would covet, including Russian-made transport helicopters, surveillance planes, and a fleet of pickup trucks fitted with heavy machine guns.     Continue reading “ISIS Tries to Grab Its Own Air Force”

BAGHDAD (AP) — Syrian warplanes bombed Sunni militants’ positions inside Iraq, military officials confirmed Wednesday, deepening the concerns that the extremist insurgency that spans the two neighboring countries could morph into an even wider regional conflict. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned against the threat and said other nations should stay out.   Continue reading “Kerry issues warning after Syria bombs Iraq”

It’s been almost a week and still we have seen very little footage or first-hand evidence of what is going on down at the border in ground zero cities like McAllen and Laredo, TX. During the Bundy Ranch incident, we had Alex Jones, Pete Santilli, Wade, who is a contributor on From the Trenches World Report, Oathkeepers, militia groups and many others with I-phones and live streaming of everything that was going on. That was only when we were fighting against 200 BLM and Federal agents. Now we have over 7,000 illegals and MS-13 gang members crossing our Southern border PER MONTH and there is not one single picture or clip of any of it. This is ridiculous!   Continue reading “A Message to the Alternative Media: We Need to Know What is Going on at the Southern Border!”
