Common Dreams – by Glenn Greenwald

It has been previously reported that the mentality of NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander is captured by his motto “Collect it All”. It’s a get-everything approach he pioneered first when aimed at an enemy population in the middle of a war zone in Iraq, and has now imported onto US soil, aimed at the domestic population and everyone else.   Continue reading “Inside the Mind of NSA Chief Gen. Keith Alexander”

The season’s 18th storm, swirling in Pacific waters south of the archipelago, was packing gusts up to 108 kph and moving north-northwest, the agency said.

It was on a direct course to hit Monday morning, possibly around 9 a.m. in Shizuoka Prefecture, the agency said.   Continue reading “Typhoon Man-yi heads for Chubu”

In Reuters’ “Syrian Rebels Slam U.S.-Russia Deal, Say Assad Is Moving Chemical Weapons To Lebanon And Iraq,” Qassim Saadeddine of the so-called “Free Syrian Army” rejected the recent Syrian-Russian proposal to turn over Syria’s chemical weapons for independent verification and destruction, vowing to block UN inspectors should they enter Syria to carry out the task.    Continue reading “Syria’s “Rebels” Threaten UN – Will Use US Weapons”

President Obama declared that the United States is still prepared to act militarily to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons despite the decision to pursue a diplomatic deal and not strike Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.He also acknowledged that his approach to the Syria crisis has been uneven, but defended it as producing the right results.   Continue reading “Obama says Iran shouldn’t misinterpret U.S. response to Syria”

What is with the fresh round of stories about law enforcement (enjoying?) shooting animals? Animals who might not be that injured. Animals shot in front of families. Animals shot for no reason but the thrill of the kill? But then imagine afterward, you being the one who might be under arrest – and getting your car impounded!

When other countries are emulating the exact same actions, that’s a sorry sign.   Continue reading “Cop Prevents Animal Rescue, Shoots, Threatens Arrest”

NEW YORK — With all of the media rhetoric and hype about the Syrian situation it’s hard to catch every report. However, this one is important.

According to a recent write-up, the FBI handed out a warning during an energy conference which took place about one week prior to the 12th anniversary of the September 2001, attacks, which in turn prompted the Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA) to release a statement to its members.   Continue reading “FBI Warns: Terrorists to Attack Fuel Storage Plants Inside U.S.”

While Americans demand vociferously the defunding of ObamaCare in hopes of getting rid of the most destructive and freedom-robbing piece of legislation passed in modern times, Congressmen pretend to make valiant efforts to do so via various proposals that only low information and extremely naïve voters can believe to be true.   Continue reading “Defund ObamaCare? Not Happening”

In a recent giveaway, the question asked was “What pioneer skill do you feel will be the most valuable following a disaster, collapse or other “stuff” hits the fan scenario?”.  There were hundreds of responses and of those, a significant number of folks indicated that the most valuable skill needed was the ability to find and purify water.

The concept of safe drinking water is pretty easy to wrap you head around since it is common knowledge that our bodies need water to sustain life.  Luckily for us, there are a myriad of filtering, storage and collection systems available to help us plan for those times when fresh drinking water in unattainable.  What we, as prepper’s tend to forget, however, is that there is a lot more to water storage than drinking water.   Continue reading “Water Everywhere But Not A Drop To Drink”

News headlines to the contrary, there is actually more taking place right now than just the Obama administration’s conveniently distracting push for military action against Syria.

We’re still having our privacy rights ravaged by the surveillance state. The latest revelations confirm long-standing fears that there is nothing private from the government, which has used a variety of covert, unconstitutional tactics to gain access to Americans’ personal data, online purchases and banking, medical records, and online communications. The government’s methods include the use of supercomputers to hack through privacy settings, collaborations with corporations to create “back doors” for NSA access into encrypted files, and the use of strong-arm tactics against those technology and internet companies who refuse to cooperate.   Continue reading “Farewell Janet Napolitano, We Won’t Miss You.”

The short answer to the question in the title of this missive is yes. Let us look at how I arrived at this.

We start with a quote from the Federalist Papers specifically No. 78: “No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”   Continue reading “Can Local Sheriffs Refuse To Enforce Gun Control Laws?”

California’s Napa and Sonoma have their wine tours, and travellers flock to Scotland to sample the fine single malt whiskies. But in Jamaica, farmers are offering a different kind of trip for a different type of connoisseur.

Call them ganja tours: smoky, mystical – and technically illegal – journeys to some of the island’s hidden cannabis plantations, where pot tourists can sample such strains as “purple kush” and “pineapple skunk”.    Continue reading “Jamaica’s ganja tours draw the tourists”

A LYING BOTTOM-OF-THE-BARREL LOSER WORKING FOR AN EVIL FOREIGN POWER

If Americans think they’re decent people, how can they allow slime like Barack Obama and John Kerry to deliberately lie to make war on innocent countries after providing the chemical weapons that killed all those people in Syria?   Continue reading “Perverted president of a perverted people”

Extremism Online – by JB Campbell

Treason everywhere.  Our crackhead queen president is arming what we’ve been told for over a decade is the enemy in the war on terror, al-Qaeda, which means “the base.”  That refers to the CIA’s computerized data base of mujahedeen fighters they put together in Afghanistan back in the ‘80s to fight the Soviet Army, which was finally defeated by surface-to-air Stinger missiles the CIA provided to al-Qaeda.

How al-Qaeda could ever be considered “the enemy” is a joke, since the CIA created the group, armed it, trained it and financed it with the help of Osama bin Laden, who was the CIA’s paymaster.  Osama said in several interviews leading up to his death of Marfan Syndrome and kidney failure in late 2001 that he had nothing to do with 9/11.  He said it was committed by the US government and Israel.   Continue reading “Unconditional Surrender”

There is arsenic in rice, and it’s generally higher in brown rice than in white rice. Consumer Reports tested 223 samples of rice products in 2012 and found significant levels of arsenic in most of them, including inorganic arsenic (the really toxic kind).

As Consumer Reports found, it’s not unusual to see arsenic at levels of 200 ppb or more in rice-based baby cereals. Click here for the complete test results.   Continue reading “FDA deliberately deceiving Americans over arsenic in rice, chicken and other foods; contamination now widespread”
