Increasingly, post-9/11, under the rubric of “privatization,” though it should more accurately have been called “corporatization,” the Pentagon took a series of crony companies off to war with it.  In the process, it gave “capitalist war” a more literal meaning, thanks to its wholesale financial support of, and the shrugging off of previously military tasks onto, a series of warrior corporations.

Gideon, the pseudonymous public defender who blogs at A Public Defender, has a thorough rundown of a very disturbing ruling recently issued by the Connecticut Supreme Court. It involves every Connecticut citizens’ civil liberties, which have now been thrown under a bus bearing the name “officer safety.”

Gideon posits a single scenario, as interpreted by the person being (wrongly) detained and those doing the actual detaining.   Continue reading “Connecticut Supreme Court Says State Cops Can Detain You Simply For Being In The Vicinity Of Someone They’re Arresting”

The regime has already made indications that they’ll endorse this creature. This whack job has the mentality to be easily manipulated, hence, another puppet, a puppet that the “boy” believes, he and Jarret, can pull the strings on. Also, we know that their endorsement of Clinton will not be forth coming, so this is not a far fetched conclusion.

There is evidence that the “whack-job” can get votes, for it’s hugely popular with socialists. Quite frankly though, I don’t foresee us making it to the elections of 2016, as things continue to spiral out of control. These are sad days for our Republic, but the silver lining in the whole picture is …RESTORATION is just an event away.   Continue reading “Will Elizabeth Warren be the Next Know Nothing Inexperienced President?”

As the Ebola death toll rises and as images of bodies being abandoned in the streets of Liberia are broadcast around the globe, there has been a growing outcry for the scientific community to “do something” about this deadly virus.  And as luck would have it, there is an “experimental Ebola vaccine” that is ready to be tested on humans next month.  If Ebola starts to spread outside of Africa, and especially if it starts spreading inside the United States, people will be absolutely clamoring to get this vaccine.  But will it be safe?  And there will certainly be millions of people that do not want to take this vaccine under any circumstances.  If the outbreak gets bad enough, will it be made mandatory at some point?  If they do make it mandatory for all Americans to take an Ebola vaccine, what will you do?   Continue reading “What Will You Do If They Make It Mandatory For All Americans To Take An Ebola Vaccine?”

The third wave of mobilization is launched in Ukraine to compensate for losses suffered in Donbass. It hits big bumps on the way.  Nobody wants to be cannon fodder for the ruling regime to add to the death toll of thousands.  People run away from different regions of the country, even the ones situated far from the conflict zone, to find refuge in Russia. Many of them are male citizens of the right age to be called for military service.

The situation in the western part of Ukraine, especially the Transcarpathian region, has become explosive with people’s discontent getting ripe. The region has buried 70 countrymen losing their lives in the Donbass battles. The anger against the regime is growing…    Continue reading “Transcarpathian Gambut”
