The Leon County Commission is trying to pressure gun dealers into helping to implement a proposed gun control ordinance.

Recently, commissioners were telling us there wasn’t any action going on with regard to a proposed “gun show loophole” ordinance. In fact, some even claimed “there is no proposed ordinance at all.” Some even suggested they simply wanted to receive our comments for discussion at the January commission meeting.   Continue reading “Florida County wants Dealers to Help Implement Gun Control”

One of the nation’s leading banks wants Congress to amend federal law adopted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis so it and other Wall Street institutions can go back to gambling with risky investments and have taxpayers cover the losses again if they bet wrong.

Under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 (pdf), banks can no longer use monies backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to invest in high-risk derivatives, such as “swaps.” This prohibition was adopted because derivatives crippled numerous key players on Wall Street five years ago, including Countrywide Mortgages, Bear Stearns, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, Wachovia and others.   Continue reading “House Votes to Protect Citigroup if It Gambles and Loses”

In Costa Rica, publicly-owned banks have been available for so long and work so well that people take for granted that any country that knows how to run an economy has a public banking option. Costa Ricans are amazed to hear there is only one public depository bank in the United States (the Bank of North Dakota), and few people have private access to it.

So says political activist Scott Bidstrup, who writes:   Continue reading “Public Banking in Costa Rica”

You already know about Snowden unveiling the secret of heavy government surveillance via the NSA and CIA on its own people, but the whistleblower has released another information bomb that will make chemtrail watchers and suspects of the ‘conspiracy’ of a eugenics program sit up and listen.

According to Snowden, chemtrails are part of a ‘benevolent’ program to stop global warming. By cooperating with jet fuel manufacturers (and though he doesn’t say this, likely branches of the military) the government has been spraying the skies with chemicals in order to keep us from severe draught and other weather patterns which would cause famine in large swaths of the United States. But here’s the biggest shocker – with cooperation from Monsanto, a secret geo-engineering lab was set up, known by insiders as the ‘crown jewel’ or Muad’Dib. This lab has been operating since the 1960s without the knowledge of the people.   Continue reading “Snowden Reveals Monsanto Collusion with Government to Create Chemtrails”

The Organic Prepper

All it takes is reading the headlines for a few days with the slightest sense of awareness to realize that this country is in trouble.  With crises ranging from our crumbling economy, an encroaching police state, the devolution of civilization, possible grid-down scenarios and cyber attacks, and the risk of natural disasters, a one year preparedness pantry is no longer just something that Mormons and those crazy preppers do.  It is a logical answer to the threats that we face every day, and as prices escalate, the time to get it together is NOW.   Continue reading “The Pantry Primer: A Review”
