Wars are often unpredictable. The outcome of such conflicts is also unpredictable, but defeat in future conflicts is now being “baked into the cake” and I suspect most Americans are totally unaware of how serious this threat is. You can be sure potential and actual enemies are calculating the odds.

A recent USA Today article noted that the choice between troops and modern weapons would require the Army to shrink to “as few as 380,000 soldiers and the Marine Corps to 150,000 troops. There would also be fewer Navy aircraft carriers and Air Force bombers. Current plans envision an Army of 490,000 soldiers in the coming years, and a Marine Corps of 182,000”, added that “The Army hasn’t been that small since before World War II when it had 267,767 soldiers.”   Continue reading “A Military in Decline”

KHOU: COLUMBUS, Texas — Two bank robbery suspects were shot in Colorado County Thursday night by a man who said they kidnapped him and his wife, a bank employee.

According to the Colorado County Sheriff’s Office, the couple had been held at gunpoint by the suspects inside their home just north of Columbus. They were then forced to drive to the First National Bank of Eagle Lake in Columbus. The suspects then forced the woman to take out an undisclosed amount of funds, investigators said.   Continue reading “Husband shoots 2 bank robbery suspects who kidnapped him, his wife”

Drugs KillLive in the Now – by Joshua Corn

When it comes “how you’re going to die,” many people fear things like airplane crashes or shark attacks, even though statistics show that deaths from these events are very rare. Conversely, far too many people mistakenly believe that certain common aspects of everyday life are extremely safe — when, in reality, this is often far from the truth.

Once such daily ritual that is far more dangerous than many people believe is taking properly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. Popping pills on a daily basis to “improve health” has become far too common for many Americans. In fact, according to the CDC, approximately 50% of all Americans take a pharmaceutical drug daily. When you isolate senior citizens, the number shoots up to an astonishing 90%. And perhaps even more troubling, 20% of children take a pharmaceutical drug.   Continue reading “Guess What Kills One Person Every 19 Minutes?”

We all know it by now, cell phones emit radio-frequency energy. The one thing still up for debate is whether or not this radio-frequency energy is harmful to the human body, and if it is to what extent.

Here is what we do know, radio-frequency is a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR is a wave-like energy that is emitted and absorbed by charged particles. In the case of a cell phone, the phone emits the EMR (in the form of radio-frequency) and the human operating it absorbs it. EMR can be classified into one of two categories: (1) Ionizing – the more powerful of the two, (2) Non-Ionizing – the less powerful and lower frequency.   Continue reading “The Harmful Effects of Cell Phones and How to Reduce It”

Fresh off of his flip-flop on aid to Egypt and his threats to vote for the left (neocon) interventionists in the Democratic Party should anyone remotely non-interventionist succeed in gaining the Republican nomination to be the next president, Senator John McCain is determined to light a new fire under the long dead ashes of the Cold War. However, he no doubt chokes on the smoke of irony as he fumbles with his matches.   Continue reading “McCain Declares War on Russia!”

This video, a compilation of several recent videos, was submitted to YouTube on July 29th 2013 by David Vose and outlines what appears to be the reason that Barack Obama has brought in thousands and thousands of foreign soldiers to America: The US Army WILL NOT fire upon American citizens.

Will Russian or other foreign soldiers do Barack Obama’s ‘dirty work’ for him? According to David, we have very little time left and watching present day events unfolding all around us, I agree, we’re going to lose our country if Americans do not awaken from the deep slumber they are in, and fast. To all the wonderful men and women who continue to uphold your Oaths to the United States Constitution, I thank you for putting the ‘Peace’ back in ‘Peace Officer’.   Continue reading “US Army Refuses To Fire On Americans – Is THIS Why The Russians Are Here?”

The plot thickens. Could this be the False Flag every one is waiting for? Funny, how they managed to escape now. With all of these phony scandals taking place at the same time. The international police organization says prison breakouts have occurred in nine Interpol member countries in the past month alone and requests the agency’s 190 member countries’ assistance to figure out whether such events are linked, the group said in a statement on its website Saturday. Interpol’s alert comes a day after the State Department issued a global travel alert because of an al-Qaeda terrorist threat, saying the potential for terrorism is particularly strong in the Middle East and North Africa. That travel alert goes through Aug. 31.   Continue reading “Global Security Alert:: Interpol Issues Alert –Suspected al-Qaeda Terrorists Escaped From Prison”

How the heck do we let Facebook become such a part of our lives? This is not reality; don’t treat it as such. People put all of their personal business on Facebook, then get angry because someone laughs about it, forwards it, or makes fun of them.
