San Bernardino, CA — On the night of December 2, after the tragic shootings at the Inland Regional Medical Center, CBS Evening News interviewed a witness to the shooting.

The interview, which took place live and over the phone, has not been covered by any other mainstream outlet despite the vastly different details provided which completely contradict the subsequent ‘official’ narrative, while backing up several other eyewitness accounts.   Continue reading “Media Refusing to Cover Police & Witness Accounts of “3 White Male Shooters” in San Bernardino”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

On Monday, the price of U.S. oil dropped below 38 dollars a barrel for the first time in six years.  The last time the price of oil was this low, the global financial system was melting down and the U.S. economy was experiencing the worst recession that it had seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.  As I write this article, the price of U.S. oil is sitting at $37.65.  For months, I have been warning that the crash in the price of oil would be extremely deflationary and would have severe consequences for the global economy.  Nations such as Japan, Canada, Brazil and Russia have already plunged into recession, and more than half of all major global stock market indexes are down at least 10 percent year to date.  The first major global financial crisis since 2009 has begun, and things are only going to get worse as we head into 2016.   Continue reading “Guess What Happened The Last Time The Price Of Oil Plunged Below 38 Dollars A Barrel?”

WASHINGTON — The “war on drugs” costs Americans a staggering amount of money every year that it persists. Despite the billions they receive, federal, state and local law enforcement have a proven inability to stem the flow of drugs on the nation’s streets.

Since Richard Nixon declared a war on drugs in June 1971, the cost of that “war” had soared to over $1 trillionby 2010. Over $51 billion is spent annually to fight the drug war in the United States, according to Drug Policy Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting more humane drug policies.   Continue reading “Over $1 Trillion Spent Since Nixon Began The War On Drugs”

Chicago, IL — It seems that the Chicago Police department is holding confession as the third video in just days has been released showing officers beat and taser a man before he dies.

Only two weeks ago, after months of public pressure, the Chicago PD released the dashcam of Laquan McDonald being murdered by officer Jason Van Dyke. Then, only yesterday, Chicago police quietly slipped out another video of officer George Hernandez murdering Ronald Johnson, by shooting him in the back as he ran away.   Continue reading “Chicago PD Release 3rd Horrific Video in Days – College Grad Tasered & Beaten Until he Dies”

Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- On December 7 2015, Rep. Steve Israel  (D-NY-3) said Democrats have various tools they can use to “force and even shame” the GOP into bending the knee on gun control in the wake of the San Bernardino terror attacks.

The primary focus of the Democrat push at this time is to get the GOP to agree to include the no-fly list in background checks, although CNN reports neither San Bernardino attacker was on the no-fly list, and the Los Angeles Times claims adding the no-fly list to background checks is philosophically at odds with the U.S. Constitution.   Continue reading “Rep.

On Monday, Donald Trump issued a statement advocating “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our representatives can figure out what’s going on.”

Only hours after calling for a “total and complete ban on Muslims entering the United States,” the Republican presidential candidate forwarded the notion that America should also consider “closing the Internet up in some way,” as a means of fighting the Islamic State.   Continue reading “Trump Calls for “Closing the Internet,” Says Believing in “Freedom of Speech” is “Foolish””

A report has just been published which exposes perhaps the most depraved use of state power in the immoral War on Drugs.

60 Minutes aired the program on Dec. 7, describing how law enforcement across the country coerces young people, just starting their adult lives, into becoming confidential informants in the drug war. This sickening practice, largely kept secret, turns good people into liars and puts them in deadly danger.   Continue reading “Kids Busted for Pot, Forced to be Snitches by Cops – Sent to their Deaths in the War on Drugs”

As negotiations over a $1 trillion U.S. spending bill dragged on, Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives said on Tuesday they would seek to pass a stop-gap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown early on Saturday.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said the extension would likely last a “handful of days” to allow work on the spending bill to be completed, potentially over the weekend. Current government agency spending authority expires at midnight on Friday.   Continue reading “Republicans seek to avert U.S. government shutdown as spending talks drag on”

Washington, DC – -(Ammoland.com)- As if enduring eight years of the rabidly anti-gun Martin O’Malley in the Governor’s Mansion weren’t enough, Maryland gun owners are now contending with at least one avowed gun prohibitionist in the state Attorney General’s Office.

Undercover video (below) of Maryland Deputy Attorney General Thiruvendran Vignarajah, shot by Project Veritas while he was attending a national conference of state attorneys general in New York City, reveals the supposed-public servant’s deep disdain for your rights.   Continue reading “MD Deputy Attorney General Busted on Video: “We Should Ban Guns Altogether, Period””

In an unprecedented protest against the routine offenses against due process and bodily integrity carried out in the name of the “war on drugs,” the union representing Pittsburgh police officers has condemned workplace drug and alcohol testing as a violation of the Constitution.

Not a week goes by without the Syrian conflict taking us another step towards World War Three. There’s no way that Western interests can operate in Syria alongside Russian interests, without them butting heads in some capacity. And time after time, we’ve seen what happens when these conflicting global interest collide in the region. People die, like the unfortunate Russian pilot who was killed last month, and both sides of the conflict come a little closer to fighting each other without the benefit of their proxies.   Continue reading “U.S. Accused of Bombing Syrian Military for the First Time”

Chicago, IL — In the wake of the recent dashcam footage showing Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke kill Laquan McDonald, the Chicago police department has quietly been hiding another dashcam as well.

On October 12, 2014, Ronald Johnson, 25, was involved in a highly disputed interaction with Chicago police. At the end of this interaction, Ronald ‘Ronnieman’ Johnson would be dead at the hands of Chicago’s finest.   Continue reading “Dashcam Video Clearly Shows Cop Murder Man as He Ran Away from Police”

With the House GOP opposed to adding the imprecise no-fly list to background checks, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA-12th) says it is “unconscionable” to oppose gun control that would not have stopped the San Bernardino attack.

The addition of the no-fly list would not have stopped the San Bernardino attack because the attackers—Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik—weren’t on it. On December 4, CNN reported that Farook and Malik weren’t on “any list” of potential terrorists in the U.S.   Continue reading “Nancy Pelosi: ‘Unconscionable’ to Oppose Gun Control That Wouldn’t Have Stopped San Bernardino Attack”

The US government’s unconditional support for Israel despite alleged differences of opinion between the two sides is leading the world to believe that Tel Aviv has become the new capital of the United States, an American political analyst says.

An investigation by an Israeli daily revealed on Monday that US donors have channeled over 200 million dollars into Israeli illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, Palestine, in recent years.   Continue reading “Tel Aviv has replaced Washington, DC as US capital: Analyst”

Red State – by Jay Caruso

What has become of us as a society? Are we so hyper-sensitive that the slightest provocation even when done tongue-in-cheek is worthy of a freak out session? Seriously, when did we cross the line from worrying about big picture issues to getting our panties in a wad over harmless actions?

Erick Erickson (who is the Editor-In-Chief of RedState but had zero to say about this post being written) took a copy of last Saturday’s New York Times to a gun range and used the hyperbolic front page editorial about the mythical “gun epidemic” as a target. He then posted photos.   Continue reading “To Those Wetting Their Beds Over Erick Erickson’s Shooting Holes In The NY Times: Grow Up”

Bolivia — After the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was kicked out of Bolivia, the country was able to drastically reduce the amount of coca (cocaine) produced within its borders. According to data released by the United Nations, cocaine production in the country declined by 11% in the past year, marking the fourth year in a row of steady decrease.

It was just seven years ago that the DEA left Bolivia — and only three years after that, progress was finally made. The strategy employed by the Bolivian government may be a surprise to many prohibitionists because it did not involve any strong-arm police state tactics. Instead, they worked to find alternative crops for farmers to grow that would actually make them more money.   Continue reading “Cocaine Production Plummets After DEA Kicked Out Of Bolivia”
