WASHINGTON — The European Union is pressing the Obama administration to expand U.S. fracking, offshore oil drilling and natural gas exploration under the terms of a secret negotiation text obtained by The Huffington Post.
The controversial document is an early draft of energy policies that EU negotiators hope to see adopted under the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) trade deal, which is currently being negotiated. The text was shared with American officials in September. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative declined to comment on the document.

People who disclose confidential information about hydraulic fracturing chemicals in North Carolina would be subject to criminal penalties and civil damages, under a bill in the state Legislature.
The “Energy Modernization Act,” which was introduced yesterday, would make it a Class I felony to disclose trade secrets related to hydraulic fracturing, while spelling out how the information is supposed to be provided to emergency workers.

If you are one of the many people who have a home with a lawn, but know something wicked this way comes, you may have said to yourself, “I have plenty of room in the yard, so I can grow my own food if I need to.” I have heard this from a number of people lately.
Should this be your ‘Plan B’ for extreme food inflation or shortages, you might want to get a jump start on the work involved because it is not easy and involves a number of factors you may not have considered. I know because we are currently undertaking just such a task. Continue reading “Is Plan B to Turn Your Lawn into a Garden?”

According to new NSA revelations at the The Intercept on Monday—reported by Ryan Devereaux, Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras—the U.S. National Security Agency “is secretly intercepting, recording, and archiving the audio of virtually every cell phone conversation on the island nation of the Bahamas.”
Based on documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden, the surveillance program in the Caribbean nation, known as much in the U.S. as home for off-shore banking and shell corporations as for its luxurious resorts, “is part of a top-secret system – code-named SOMALGET” which has been executed without the knowledge of the Bahamian government.

President Obama has taken extraordinary steps to restrict immigration law enforcement in our nation’s interior. Ex-DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano was all too willing to support Obama’s anti-enforcement ideology by implementing enforcement policies that effectively gifted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have had their hands tied to such an extent that an illegal alien who slips past the Border Patrol now faces little risk of being arrested and deported.

Nearly two years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts deemed the ACA’s individual mandate penalty a “tax” and saved Obama’s signature law.
But did he really save it – or did he doom it?
Many legal experts have disputed the classification of that provision of Obamacare as a “tax” – the ACA itself refers to it as a “penalty”. Continue reading “The Obamacare “Tax” is Likely Unconstitutional, and Here’s Why”
The state of California is looking to pass a law stating the federal government would need a warrant from a judge if it wants to search residents’ cellphones and computer records. The bill passed the state senate with just one person voting against.

The National Security Agency has implanted software in about 100,000 computer systems around the world, enabling the United States to surveil those devices while developing a trail that can be used to launch cyber-attacks.
Though most of the software is installed by gaining access to computer networks, the NSA can also employ technology that enters computers and alters data without needing internet access. Continue reading “NSA Can Spy On Or Hit Offline Computers With EMF”

The grand opening of the globalist 9/11 Memorial Museum is scheduled for Wednesday May 21, 2014 at ground zero in New York City. Despite the post-9/11 world that we live in; one in which we’ve witness a massive awakening of humanity. A time period when many average Americans have experienced massive changes in their lives due to the broken economy. At a time when America’s wealth has dwindled or should we say, transferred to the pocketbooks of unaccountable globalist gangsters. At a time when perpetual war is the norm despite the fact that we know that the Iraq war was based on a WMD lie, and we know factually that the World Trade Center towers were destroyed by controlled demolition.
