For decades US presidents of both parties have used the words, the ‘New World Order’ in speeches. (1A)(1B)(1C)(1D) This is the UN’s grand plan to herd all humans, except the elites, into high-rise urban zones of their designation and design, while leaving the vast land masses to nature. It’s formally known Agenda 21, aka Earth-friendly Communism. Except that nature would be managed so as to feed everyone in the way the New World Order decides. (2) This plan fits the desires of other elite groups that also want to control us, so the concept gets support from the likes of the Bilderberg Group through the Federal Reserve and we presume Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs, as well as the Trilateral Commission, a future world controlled by a supreme Muslim monarch with caliphates, and the future world of Communism soon to be lead by Barack Hussein Obama. (3) Because it’s too early to react, I suppose the plan by each group is to wait until it’s about done, then ‘fight it out’ to see who wins ultimate control. In the meantime, they are happy to take their share of whatever comes their way during the global conversion. Continue reading “The March Toward The New World Order”
At least 40 U.S. veterans died waiting for appointments at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system, many of whom were placed on a secret waiting list.
The secret list was part of an elaborate scheme designed by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix who were trying to hide that 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait months to see a doctor, according to a recently retired top VA doctor and several high-level sources.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — When they moved from Georgia to the theme park playground of central Florida four years ago, Anthony and Candice Johnson found work at a barbecue restaurant and a 7-Eleven. Their combined salaries nevertheless fell short of what they needed to rent an apartment, so the couple and their two children have instead been hopping among cheap motel rooms along U.S. 192.
“What’s hard for us isn’t paying the bills,” Candice Johnson, 24, said. “It’s just trying to get our feet in the door” with the combined expense of application fees, security deposits and first month’s rent needed for a place of their own.

Globally, we are witnessing tensions rise rapidly. From China and Japan, to the situation in Ukraine which has pulled in the United States, Russia and NATO. Instead of a de-escalation of the events in Ukraine, we are witnessing an escalation of them.
The ACLU has jumped into a troubling legal fight, in which it appears that the DOJ has issued gag orders against Twitter and Yahoo concerning grand jury subpoenas that have been sent to both companies. This case is one we mentioned last week where magistrate judge John Facciolaasked the two companies to weigh in, as he appears unconvinced that the government’s request is sound. However, the whole thing is happening under seal, which the ACLU feels is inappropriate, given the importance of allowing companies to respond freely to such requests, without being gagged.
