Now a pumpkin thief‘s been carved up, rhetorically speaking.
Eric Fidler spotted this amazing sign in D.C.’s LeDroit Park neighborhood on Sunday afternoon, and posted a photo of it to his blog.

Will your teen behave like…well, a teen…when the SHTF?

In a recent quite startling appearance in Phoenix, Arizona that was covered by every major Network News, it was revealed that Kathleen Sebelius believes that she does not work for “we the people” in general by making a comment specifically referring to those that do not support Obamacare (aka “The Affordable Healthcare Plan”).
The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) made this starting admission by actually stating that she doesn’t work for the people that want her fired. Continue reading “Did Cabinet Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Publicly Resign as Secretary of Health and Human Services”
Oslo (AFP) – A Norwegian man who purchased $24 worth of bitcoins and then promptly forgot about it for four years, was able to buy an apartment in central Oslo thanks to the massive appreciation of the virtual currency.
In 2009, Kristoffer Koch was doing research on encryption and on a whim decided to invest a small sum in the recently created bitcoins — a means of payment over the Internet. Continue reading “Norwegian man buys flat with forgotten $24 bitcoin investment”
Have you read the headlines today? There is certainly plenty to worry about, isn’t there?
When the war with Syria failed miserably and all the escalated rhetoric for a global war came to a direct halt, people believed that our leaders listened and caved in to the demands of We the People. We thought we had the power to finally push back these elitists who have manipulated us all this time. While it may seem that we did just that, was it just another part of the elitists plan? Was it both a distraction and intentionally done in order to make the U.S. out to be the enemy and to turn the U.N. and the entire world against the U.S.?
If so, it would symbolize the dramatic shift from military warfare to social warfare. All the elites have done so far and are continuing to do is implement a social change rather than a military change, as social control rather than military dominance seems to be the key here.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Responding to the firestorm of controversy over its spying on European allies, the head of the National Security Agency said today it would do everything in its power to avoid being caught doing it in the future.
“There are two important jobs for every spy agency: spying on people and avoiding detection,” said the N.S.A. chief General Keith Alexander. “Unfortunately, at the N.S.A. we have only done the first job well.” Continue reading “N.S.A. Promises to Stop Getting Caught Spying on Allies”
The White House is currently evaluating whether to end surveillance programs allegedly targeting the leaderships of allied nations such as Germany.
This follows criticism from Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s chairwoman, who said that she was “totally opposed” to the collection of intelligence on US allies, and said that such surveillance of foreign heads of state would cease immediately.

Some handguns turned in for $100 at a Phoenix event in May. Note the nice Ruger and Colt.
Georgetown County, South Carolina, will be having a gun turn in even on Saturday, 2 November, 2013. While these events are commonly labelled with the propaganda term “buyback” the guns were never owned by the people attempting to buy them. It appears that the event is for handguns only.

TERRELL — An overnight manhunt in Kaufman County led to the arrest of a 36-year-old Terrell man after five people were found killed at four separate locations Monday.
Charles Everett Brownlow Jr. was arrested following a car chase with police, sheriff’s deputies and state troopers. The chase began Monday night and went into the early morning hours Tuesday. At about 1:30 a.m., the chase ended when Brownlow crashed his car on College Mound Road and fled into a wooded area south of U.S. 80, where he was later apprehended.

CNN recently took a wrong turn while reporting on a giant hornet outbreak in China by putting Hong Kong on the map — in South America.
By the looks of things, someone at the network seemed to think that the vibrant Asian city was in or near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Continue reading “CNN report on giant hornets puts Hong Kong in South America”

A Florida police officer, 267-pound Trooper Daniel Cole, was recently cleared of any wrongdoing by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Questions were raised when he tasered a 20 year old handcuffed girl in the back as she fled. The tasering was caught on video showing officer Cole firing the taser at the handcuffed Danielle Maudsley. Maudsley was a mere 100 pound, while Cole outweighed her at two and a half times her weight. She was clearly no threat to him, unless he expected to die from exhaustion chasing her a few yards.

One of the inconvenient truths about Obama is that his rhetoric rarely has any relationship with truth (e.g; purposeful Obamacare-related lies), this spying scandal being only the latest example.

We bring you an update from Sheriff Mack at the the Liberty County Courthouse in Florida:
Well, I was wrong! I never thought the case against Sheriff Nick Finch would make it to trial, but that is exactly what is going to happen,tomorrow morning, October 29, 2013 at 0900. (Happy Halloween, nothing could be creepier!) The charges against this good man have been so flimsy and frivolous that I was certain a trial would be out of the question. But the tyrants are moving forward with their agenda to stop Sheriffs in their tracks and to make them answerable to the State! This case, this abuse of authority, and the inherent injustice associated with this case, puts everything at stake that we all have fought so long for; the power and independence of the county sheriff and his duty to stand for individual liberties.

According to a recent Fox News poll, 73 percent of Americans are dissatisfied with the direction of the country, up 20 points from 2012. Americans sense that there’s a lot going wrong in our nation, but most don’t have a clue about the true nature of our problem. If they had a clue, most would have little stomach for what would be necessary to arrest our national decline. Let’s look at it.
Between two-thirds and three-quarters of federal spending, in contravention of the U.S. Constitution, can be described as Congress taking the earnings or property of one American to give to another, to whom it does not belong. Continue reading “Is There a Way Out?”
Article first appeared in the economicpolicyjournal:
California – I did have an interesting conversation with a salesman who sold night vision goggles to police SWAT teams. He said most of the training was aimed at battling terrorism. But then he added,“You know, the greater San Francisco area has more SWAT teams than any other part of the country.” Continue reading “Universities secretive SWAT teams are being trained by Israeli SWAT teams”

The kabuki theater that passes for governance in Washington D.C. reveals the profound level of ignorance shrouding this Empire of Debt in its prolonged death throes. Ignorance of facts; ignorance of math; ignorance of history; ignorance of reality; and ignorance of how ignorant we’ve become as a nation, have set us up for an epic fall. It’s almost as if we relish wallowing in our ignorance like a fat lazy sow in a mud hole. Continue reading “Culture of Ignorance”
