Activist Post – by Jeff Berwick

We have been reporting on how the US government is using very nefarious and egregious methods on tracking its own citizens’ financial information, fining them and even instituting the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) as a form of subterfuge capital controls which is closing off international banking to Americans (as we reported yesterday in Mexico).

FinCen, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, has, in essence, been making nearly any international transfers of money viewed as a criminal activity.  FATCA has been making it harder and harder for Americans to open international bank accounts.  And FBAR, the Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, has made it a highly punishable offense for any American with a foreign account worth over $10,000 if they do not file an FBAR each year.

US President Barack Obama has allowed Americans, such as Hungarian-born American billionaire George Soros, to spend billions of dollars to destabilize Ukraine, a political commentator says.

Speaking at a news conference in Poland on Tuesday, Obama said his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “has a choice to make” over Ukraine and rebuild the trust shattered by Moscow’s actions in Kiev.   Continue reading “George Soros to spend billions to destabilize Ukraine”

Warsaw (CNN) — U.S. President Barack Obama voiced his support for Ukraine’s newly elected president and called for the international community to “stand solidly behind” him Wednesday, on a visit to Europe dominated by the crisis in Ukraine.

Obama’s meeting in Warsaw, Poland, with Ukrainian President-elect Petro Poroshenko can be seen as a sign of U.S. support for the government in Kiev as it battles to quell a pro-Russian separatist uprising in Ukraine’s East.   Continue reading “Obama vows to stand with Ukraine as he meets President-elect in Poland”

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown, March 4, 2013

Freedom Outpost’s Constitutional scholar Publius Huldah recently explained why Federal gun laws are unlawful. She noted that the first gun control measures put in place in the United States did not take place until 1927, when Congress banned the mailing of certain weapons. We went from 1776 to 1927, 150 years after our founding, when Congress decided, “We better start disarming the American people.”

Huldah goes through the history of the Federal government’s unlawful actions to regulate firearms in America and she points out that when it started, the Progressives had already begun a takeover. I’ll also note the Federal Reserve had been established in 1913 as well.   Continue reading “All Federal Gun Laws Are Unconstitutional”

Nearly one year to the day since the National Security Agency’s secret spy programs were first exposed through leaked documents, the man responsible or those disclosures has come out and endorsed a new anti-surveillance campaign.

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden — the source of a trove of classified documents that since last June have revealed the inner workings of the United States intelligence community’s vast surveillance apparatus — issued a statement on Wednesday this week in support of the ‘Reset the Net’ campaign scheduled for Thursday, exactly one year after the first news stories stemming from his cache of leaked documents were published.   Continue reading “Snowden publically supports Reset the Net campaign”

The list includes 515 Russian financial institutions. Russian banks had to apply directly to the IRS because the U.S. broke off negotiations with the Russian government over an information-sharing agreement because of Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

Albany, NY – Opponents of New York’s new gun laws are demanding answers about how Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York state Legislature can rush bills into law with little time for anyone to even read the bill.

The NY Safe Act was passed with no hearings, no testimony, no time for opponents to make a case to their legislators.

It’s not the first time a controversial bill was turned into a midnight emergency.   Continue reading “The Safe Act “emergency”: How Cuomo, past governors bypassed public to make laws”

In 1960 Nikita Kruschev predicted that Communism would take over America without a shot being fired.  For over 50 years we have wondered if this was just the bluster of an old guard communist or a glimpse of a real strategy. Looking  back it is hard to prove a plan of action, but the results are undeniable.

As a boy the most important thing we were taught about Communism was that it depended upon a Godless society in order to take root.  The other thing we were taught was that Communism was repressive, that is, though it might get a toehold if the people are not constantly vigilant, once it was established people were ultimately forced into it, and forced to remain under Communist control.   Continue reading “Eric Holder In 1995 On How To Execute The Communist Plan For America”
