All Gov – by Noel Brinkerhoff

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) new facial recognition system is far from flawless. The technology can accidentally target an innocent person up to 20% of the time, according to a 2010 report (pdf) just released.

The FBI document, obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, revealed the effectiveness (and ineffectiveness) of the agency’s “Next Generation Identification” (NGI) system.   Continue reading “FBI’s Facial Recognition System Targeted an Innocent Person up to 1 out of 5 Times”

While the vets couldn’t get to their monuments and we couldn’t take pictures of our national parks, while they were threatening to turn off the EBT cards and veteran’s benefits, what was really important and who ordered that the fight over the debt ceiling be put to the end?

US Foreign Aid to Israel – by Jerome M. Sharp

Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II.  To date, the United States has provided Israel $118 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance.  Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance.    Continue reading “Who is First in Line at the Trough?

Can somebody please explain to me why this country isn’t up in arms right now?  Now that Obamacare (aka The Affordable Healthcare Act) has been shown to be one of the biggest scams in United States history, why isn’t there any action being taken?

The International Banking Mafia pulled off one of its greatest scams in 1913 with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, defrauding this country with usury from worthless fiat currency.  They have done it once again with the passage of the Affordable Health Care Act.  If you have not had the chance to look at these worthless healthcare plans, you will no doubt find that the premiums are anything but affordable, and the deductibles are ludicrously high.    Continue reading “What is it going to take?”

These slimy weasels are bought and sold like cheap whores. Sorry for the insult to all my cheap whore readers. Mitch McConnell is everything that is wrong with this country rolled into one disgusting package of shit. Kicking the can and bending over for Harry Reid and the Obamanistas are his specialty. When he was the Senate Leader the Republicans cut nothing. He added trillions to the national debt when he was in control. We are a deadbeat nation led by corrupt brain dead old men. This turtle faced douchebag needs to be crushed by a truck while crossing the road.   Continue reading “$2 Billion Bribe Paid to Mitch McConnell to Pass Obama Bill”

This morning I wrote an article about the House stenographer, Dianne Reidy, and her short but epic impromptu rant on the floor of the House during the final vote for the “kick the can down the road” act of the great Government Shutdown Crisis Theater production of 2013.

It was a good article and I pointed out, she made some valid points.   Continue reading “Who’s the “grey-haired guy” Who Nods to Dianne Reidy to Start her “Serve Two Masters” Speech?”

Counter Punch – by MEDEA BENJAMIN and PAM BAILEY

The negotiations this week in Geneva between Iran and the “P5+1” (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — plus Germany) offer a promising vehicle for avoiding another destructive war. The talks came on the heels of a virtual uprising by the American people that stopped President Barack Obama’s plan to attack Syria, clearly demonstrating their desire to solve conflicts at the negotiation table rather than at the point of a gun. 

However, Israel and its allies in the U.S. Congress continue to lobby against a deal that would meet Iran in the middle, insisting on a “zero-enrichment” policy that is a deal-breaker for Iran.   Continue reading “Israel’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Nuclear Policy”

NSA director Keith Alexander and his top deputy will depart soon, according to reports from Reuters and other news agencies that first broke yesterday afternoon.  John Inglis will retire at the end of the year, and Alexander will follow his deputy out the door by spring 2014:

The director of the U.S. National Security Agency and his deputy are expected to depart in the coming months, U.S. officials said on Wednesday, in a development that could give President Barack Obama a chance to reshape the eavesdropping agency….   Continue reading “Alexander out at NSA?”

President Obama, fresh off a trouncing of congressional Republicans over the government shutdown, plans to renew his push for immigration legislation in the House while also pressing ahead with climate change policies and efforts to fix problems plaguing his signature health-care program.But White House officials also acknowledged that many Republicans, particularly in the House, remain ardently opposed to much of Obama’s agenda and may be unwilling to help him accomplish key legislative goals.   Continue reading “Obama plans to renew immigration, climate change efforts”

Take your pill, we are going for a ride. The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

The United States is quickly descending down the path of serfdom in a 21st century application of modern day feudalism. This is a two part series which briefly traces the rapid decent of what once was the most dynamic and wealthiest empire in the history of the planet, to a country which will soon be labeled as a Third World country. These times are marked by the elite moving to own everything and using the power of the government to accomplish their end-game.   Continue reading “How to Turn a Republic Into A Serfdom”

Possible indicators of criminal weapons possession related to terrorism:

Large quantities of weapons are typically cached in a location such as an individual’s home, storage facility, or vehicle, but can be found attended by the individual (such as in luggage while traveling) or unattended (discarded or seemingly discarded) in a public area.    Continue reading “DHS/FBI considers anyone with large amount of guns or ammo to be a possible terrorist”

Conway, NH – A dozen law enforcement vehicles, some marked and some not, pulled into a lot off the south end of the heavily used North-South Road at about 2:20 p.m. Wednesday, at almost the exact time Abigail Hernandez was last seen last Wednesday.

About 20 officers, some uniformed state police, some in FBI jackets, and some in plain clothes, walked onto the road, clipboards in hand, and started stopping every car.   Continue reading “Police & the FBI set up illegal roadblocks stop every vehicle, question every driver”

It’s one of those times when history accelerates. Whatever the outcome of the negotiations on the shutdown and debt ceiling, October 2013 is one of them. It’s the deadlock too far which has opened the eyes of those who still support the United States. A leader is followed when he is believed, not when he is ridiculous.

“Building a de-Americanised world”: this statement would have raised a smile a few years ago. At most it would have passed for provocation by Hugo Chavez. But when we are seeing the United States’ bankruptcy in real-time and it’s an official Chinese press agency that says so (1), the impact isn’t the same.

All serious social analysts and more and more generally intelligent and knowledgeable Americans realize the danger of an Implosion of the vast U.S. financial Bubbles and debts leading to a more general social-political Implosion of of the U.S., a major social disintegration including warfare involving military, veteran and other guerrilla groups.

Soviet Russia Imploded very quickly after many years of growing stagnation from central planning and regulation and monetary-financial tyranny  and internal conflicts similar to what we have been experiencing for several decades, though they did not have the immense problems of debts and financial Bubbles that we have.

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Since all US rating agencies (Fitch is majority French-owned) have been terrified into submission and will never again touch the rating of the US following the DOJ’s witch hunt of S&P, any US rating changes on the margin will come from abroad. Like China’s Dagong rating agency, which several hours ago just downgraded the US from A to A-, maintaining its negative outlook. The agency said that while a default has been averted by a last minute agreement in Congress, the fundamental situation of debt growth outpacing fiscal income and GDP remains unchanged. “Hence the government is still approaching the verge of default crisis, a situation that cannot be substantially alleviated in the foreseeable future.”   Continue reading “China’s Dagong Downgrades US To A- From A”

The federal government is studying how to use Twitter for surveillance on depressed people.

The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) began a study financed by the National Institutes of Health last month that will provide “population level depression monitoring” through the social media site.

The project, “Utilizing Social Media as a Resource for Mental Health Surveillance,” is costing taxpayers $82,800.   Continue reading “Feds Studying How to Use Twitter For ‘Depression Surveillance’”

A few decades ago, there were thousands of independent media outlets in the US. Today in America, six multinational global media mega corporations run by six individuals control 96% of the content Americans see on TV and watch at the movies; read in books, magazines and newspapers, and hear on the radio.
