The New York Times’ website has been disabled for the second time in under a month, with the newspaper attributing the outage to a “malicious external attack” widely thought to have come from hackers affiliated with the Syrian Electronic Army.

“Many users are having difficulty accessing the New York Times online,” the paper wrote on its Facebook page. “We are working to fix the problem. Our initial assessment is the outage is most likely the result of a malicious external attack. In the meantime we are continuing to publish key news reports.”    Continue reading “Syrian Electronic Army takes down New York Times website”

After just one year, some schools around the country are dropping out of the healthier new federal lunch program, complaining that so many students turned up their noses at meals packed with whole grains, fruits and vegetables that the cafeterias were losing money.

Federal officials say they don’t have exact numbers but have seen isolated reports of schools cutting ties with the $11 billion National School Lunch Program, which reimburses schools for meals served and gives them access to lower-priced food.   Continue reading “Some school districts quit healthier lunch program”

Yahoo News – by Oliver Knox

The United States restated Tuesday that it means to drive Bashar Assad from power in Syria, but denied it would use potential U.S.-led military strikes in response to his forces’ alleged chemical weapons attack to do so.

“I want to make clear that the options that we are considering are not about regime change,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters at his daily briefing. “They are about responding to clear violation of an international standard that prohibits the use of chemical weapons.”   Continue reading “U.S.: Not trying to take out Assad with Syria response”

John McCainThe Daily Beast – by Josh Rogin

As the Obama administration considers striking the Syrian regime as soon as Thursday, President Obama and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey are coming under increased criticism for their handling of the ballooning crisis.

Administration officials have told various news outlets that Obama is considering limited cruise-missile or bomber strikes against regime targets, likely for a period of three days. The strikes would be a punishment and deterrent aimed at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to his reported use of chemical weapons against civilians near Damascus on August 21. Opposition sources have said they were told by “Western powers” that strikes could begin within the next few days.   Continue reading “McCain Says Obama Gave ‘Green Light’ to Syria to Use Chemical Weapons”

“A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of  all”.

–Tacitus

This quote has been repeated in many forms by many American Presidents since George Washington, by patriotic American politicians, diplomats, militiary officers, academicians, few journalists, and a few courageous American citizens of all faiths especially Christians, and Jewish Americans who stand firm despite the hate, death threats, and alienation from the Jewish community.   Continue reading “Pity the American People for They Live in a Jewish Run Democracy”

The US has accused the Syrian government of delaying UN inspectors from accessing the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack in Damascus. But now, according to Reuters, the US appears to be preparing to strike Syria militarily before the UN’s now ongoing investigation is concluded and evidence revealed to either support or conflict with the West’s so far baseless allegations.

Reuters’ article, “Syria strike due in days, West tells opposition: sources,” states that:     Continue reading “Reuters: US to Strike Syria Before UN Evidence Collected”

elysium-1The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges

Elysium is a dramatic and dystopian vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The movie in not unlike the movie Hunger Games in which the majority of humanity is condemned to live in an overpopulated, diseased-ridden and violent planet.

The elite in Elysium occupy their orbiting paradise without want or illness, while today’s elite have massive underground structures beneath such places as Denver International Airport. While the rank and file of America is cursed with Obamacare, this dichotomy parallels the life extension technologies being employed by the elite in which our overlords, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Kissinger, Brzezinski and Soros are older than dirt but still keep enslaving humanity with youthful vigor as they have access to life extension technologies which emanates from transhumanism, the most evil application of science in our collective history. These overlords are Satan’s best emissary’s on this planet.   Continue reading “Conditioning Humanity for the Inevitable”

The US government announced it was postponing bilateral talks with Russia late Monday, citing “ongoing consultations” over the Syrian government’s alleged use of chemical weapons.    Continue reading “Russia ‘regrets’ US decision to shelve Syria talks”

Syria-Chemical-AttacksWND – by Jerome R. Corsi

NEW YORK – As the U.S. considers a response to what it calls a chemical weapon attack by Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime that killed hundreds of civilians, reliable Middle Eastern sources say they have evidence the culprits actually were the rebel forces trying to take over the government.

Secretary of State John Kerry accused the Assad government Monday of covering up the use of chemical weapons in “a cowardly crime” and a “moral obscenity” that shocked the world’s conscience. Kerry claimed the Obama administration had “undeniable” evidence “that the Assad government was culpable in the use of chemical weapons on civilians” in the Aug. 21 attack in Damascus suburbs.   Continue reading “Evidence: Syria gas attack work of U.S. allies”

The purpose of this post is to discuss the use of canteens and hydration bladders, to point out some advantages and disadvantages, and to make you think about how you plan to carry and use water.

What do I mean by canteens? For this post, I will consider an canteen any sort of solid water bottle. Anything from an actual military canteen to a sports hydration bottle, one of those solid Camelbak sports bottles that you sip from the top of with a straw going down inside, a plastic water-bottle that you are reusing (with a twist-off lid or one of those drinking caps), or anything similar. The key thing is that a canteen will sit in a pocket or pouch and be taken out, raised to your mouth, and drunk from.    Continue reading “Canteen Vs. Hydration Bladder”

Liberty Blitzkrieg – by Mike Krieger

The warning signs were all there. Long, long ago they were all right there. Reading this article from the New York Times, published when I was just five years old, brings forth emotions of frustration, disappointment and even a sense of resentment. Resentment that many of those that came before us knew about all of this and basically did nothing. While those were my initial reactions, those negative emotions have turned into a strong sense of resolve and purpose. Many of us that are faced with the challenge of changing this messed up world we live in had very little to do with its creation, but that’s ok. This is our destiny and it is our duty.   Continue reading “A Blockbuster Article on the Dangers of the NSA…From March 27, 1983”

Obama Behavior Team to “Nudge” U.S. Toward Government GoalsThe New American – by Alex Newman

In an effort to “nudge” Americans to support bigger and more intrusive government while changing behavior to suit the whims of the political class in Washington, D.C., the Obama administration is following the lead of U.K. authorities by building what the White House refers to as a “Behavioral Insights Team.” According to an official document about the scheme aimed at recruiting personnel, the controversial team will be charged with prodding the U.S. population to think and behave in ways that officials deem best on everything from “sustainability” to health and education.   Continue reading “Obama Behavior Team to “Nudge” U.S. Toward Government Goals”
