Insurers are testing the waters of suing cities for not preparing for the floods and storm damage caused by climate change.America’s Watchtower

   It looks like a new front might be opening up on the global warming battlefield and this time the attackers will be the insurance companies. A few weeks ago I intended to write about an insurance company which, rather than pay for storm damage, decided to sue the city of Chicago for failing to adequately prepare for global warming but I never got around to that post.

  Since that time the lawsuit has been dropped but this is just the beginning: insurance companies believe they have found a way out of paying for their obligations and there is more likely to follow according to this article.   Continue reading “Insurance companies prepare to sue cities for not preparing for global warming”

So just what would happen if there were an EMP attack within the United States? Well first of all EMP stands for Electromagnetic Pulse and it occurs after the detonation of a nuclear weapon in the lower atmosphere. If a nuclear weapon is exploded in the atmosphere… the ground area below (a very large geographical area) would be impacted by the EMP.

The EMP would essentially knock out all electricity, which would mean the following would no longer work or would go out of working order or existence very quickly.   Continue reading “25 things that stop working after an EMP attack”

In their own words, we can convict the traitors within for crimes against the Constitution.

“The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects, to his laziness, incompetence, improvidence or simple stupidity.” – Henry Hazlitt on envy and Marxism

One week after a federal appeals court ruled that citizens possess First Amendment rights to film cops, a police department in New Hampshire agreed to settle with a woman who was arrested on wiretapping charges.

In 2010, Carla Gericke was arrested on wiretapping charges for filming her friend being pulled over by the Weare Police during a traffic stop. When ordered by police to turn over her camera, she refused, and was duly charged for disobeying a police officer, obstructing a government official, and “unlawful interception of oral communications.”    Continue reading “Woman arrested for filming police wins $57,000 settlement”

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has flouted the advice of his own attorney general and scores of legal scholars by signing a bill which blocks a levee board’s lawsuit against oil and gas companies, who are accused of destroying the state’s coast.

“This bill will help stop frivolous lawsuits and create a more fair and predictable legal environment, and I am proud to sign it into law,” Jindal said in a written statement Friday.   Continue reading “Louisiana Gov. signs bill killing lawsuits against oil and gas companies”

We need police to catch murderers, thieves and con men, and so we give them special power — the power to use force on others. Sadly, today’s police use that power to invade people’s homes over accusations of trivial, nonviolent offenses — and often do it with tanks, battering rams and armor you’d expect on battlefields.

In his book “Rise of the Warrior Cop,” Radley Balko recounts the rise of police SWAT teams (SWAT stands for Special Weapons And Tactics) armed with heavy military equipment. SWAT raids began as rarely used methods of dealing with violent situations, like hostage-takings.

We have been living for decades under what Catherine Austin Fitts calls the Slow Burn where all of our assets are stolen from us by the Power Elite on Wall Street.  She said Wall Street has stolen $40 trillion from us over the years through fraud and coercion. And they will steal more. She was the former Housing Commissioner in the first Bush administration and had been the managing partner at Dillon Read. Catherine was run out of Washington for being too honest. She once found a single block in San Diego with $20 million in defaulted HUD loans. Not one of the ten fictitious properties even had a postal address. Catherine does not believe that there is a crash coming when one day it all ends. She says the Slow Burn of being robbed by the trillions will continue for a long time.   Continue reading “So What Happens When The Number Of Impoverished Americans Passes 200 Million?”
