Remember this next time the corporate media are trying to sell the next war…

Before the White House’s Syrian War flop, networks like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and Bloomberg TV wheeled out at least 22 different men who they claimed were “pundits” and “commentators”, but in actuality were merely bomb and missile salesmen – who held director, board and shareholding positions with military giants like Raytheon, DC Capital Partners and BAE Systems.   Continue reading “At Least 22 Defense Industry Stakeholders Used as ‘Pundits’ by US Media to Sell Syria War”

WEB Notes: Yesterday we covered the firing of these generals and today in a video. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out these generals are being purged from the system and it is not because of their “crimes.” Understanding that two of the generals were in control of nuclear weapons is extremely alarming. What is it that they were told to do that they failed to go along with…

MIAMI (AP) — Tarek El-Sawah is in terrible shape after 11 years as a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, a fact even the U.S. military does not dispute.

During his time in captivity, the weight of the 55-year-old Egyptian has nearly doubled, reaching more than 420 pounds at one point, and his health has deteriorated as a result, both his lawyers and government officials concede.   Continue reading “Some at Guantanamo jail too sick to keep locked up”

The federal government, who shut the national parks after claiming they didn’t have the money to keep them open, is now sending in Park Rangers to patrol the parks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sadly, the Rangers are not being sent in so visitors can enjoy these parks, there being sent in to arrest anyone who tries to enter them.

Earlier this week we reported on the Vietnam Vets who were arrested for visiting a war memorial in New York City; now we’ve learned that 21 tourists were just arrested for hiking in the Grand Canyon National Park.    Continue reading “National Parks Overthrown by Tyranical Obama, What’s Next?

These observations by Andrew Tuohy have been floating across the gun web for a couple of days.  I have to quote at length, although the entire post is worth reading, as are the comments.

Last year, I was sitting at home when my doorbell rang. Two polite and professional ATF agents informed me that the number of firearms I had purchased from 2007 to 2010 did not match my income. I was disappointed to learn that this fact did not come with some sort of prize or award, but suddenly wondered how they knew what I had purchased.

As we documented here, Congressman Alan Grayson is correct that the Fed could cancel its own US national debt holdings of ~$2 trillion. This could begin public justice from how our current system transfers public assets into 1% private profits: currently conservatively estimated at $30 trillion held in tax-free offshore accounts, and satirized in South Park’s Emmy Award-winning episode on our bailing out the big banks with the catchline, “And it’s gone.”   Continue reading “And… it’s gone! The Fed and US could simply CANCEL all $5 trillion of intragovernmental debt”

Ten months after the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary and six and a half months since a Tucson gun store owner refused to sell Kelly an assault weapon–believing he could not pass question 11a of the NICS background check–Giffords and Kelly are readying themselves to go after the NRA for opposing expanded background checks.    Continue reading “Gabrielle Giffords, Mark Kelly to Challenge NRA in 2014”
