EU/U.S. — Transatlantic ConvergenceThe News American – by William F. Jasper

Flying largely under the radar, the first round of negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) took off July 8 through 12 in Washington, D.C. Although most Americans have barely heard of TTIP — if they’ve heard of it at all — this plan for economic and political merger of the United States and the European Union will assume ever greater urgency over the next year as the negotiation process concludes and we move closer and closer to a vote in Congress.   Continue reading “EU/U.S. — Transatlantic Convergence”

WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association has rallied gun-owners — and raised tens of millions of dollars — campaigning against the threat of a national database of firearms or their owners.

But in fact, the sort of vast, secret database the NRA often warns of already exists, despite having been assembled largely without the knowledge or consent of gun owners. It is housed in the Virginia offices of the NRA itself. The country’s largest privately held database of current, former, and prospective gun owners is one of the powerful lobby’s secret weapons, expanding its influence well beyond its estimated 3 million members and bolstering its political supremacy.   Continue reading “How The NRA Built A Massive Secret Database Of Gun Owners”

James Rickards wrote the best-seller titled “Currency Wars-The Making of the Next Financial Crisis.”  What’s going to cause the next crisis?  Rickards says, “The problem in 2008 was too-big-to-fail banks.  Well, those banks are now bigger.  Their derivative books are bigger. In other words, everything that was wrong in 2008 is worse today.” Rickards goes on to warn, “The last time, in 2008 when the crisis started, the Fed’s balance sheet was $800 billion.  Continue reading “Everything Wrong in 2008 is Worse Today-James Rickards”

Jonathan PollardIntel News – by JOSEPH FITSANAKIS

A convicted American spy, who is serving a life sentence for betraying American secrets to Israel in the 1980s, has broken his 28-year-long silence by penning an article in an Israeli newspaper.

Jonathan Jay Pollard was a United States Navy intelligence analyst who spied for Israel in exchange for money from 1984 until his arrest in 1986. Many in US counterintelligence consider him one of the most damaging double spies in American history. But he is widely viewed as a hero in Israel, where many conservative Israelis, as well as pro-Israel Americans, are actively pressuring the US administration of President Barack Obama to release him.   Continue reading “Analyst who spied on US for Israel speaks out for first time”

Beware: The Dow 30’s Performance is Being Manipulated!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Index – the oldest stock exchange in the U.S. and most influential in the world – consists of 30 companies and has an extremely interesting and distressing history regarding its beginnings, transformation and structural development which has all the trappings of what is commonly referred to as pyramid or Ponzi scheme.   Continue reading “The Dow 30 is the Greatest of All Ponzi Schemes”

The following talk on runaway healthcare costs is from a lecture given by Dr David Belk. The 54 minute video is below.

Example One. Amlodopine is used to treat high blood pressure. It costs the patient $10 a month to buy through his insurance carrier. Without insurance Walgreens sells a 90 day supply for  $12  and Costco charges $28.95 for a year. Most brand name medications are 100 times more expensive than their generic counterparts.    Continue reading “The True Cost of Healthcare. Ripping Off A Nation”

Despite the light weight of only 6.5 pounds, Akdal MKA1919 has mild recoil. It's gas=operated mechanism is similar to Remington 1100. In customized form, that allows for folding stocks.All Outdoor – by Oleg Volk

Like most of us, I don’t get enough training even with my primary rifle. Shotgun, a secondary weapon for me, gets even less range and class time. As a result, my efforts to operate a Remington 870 or an 1100 efficiently run into the basic lack of familiarity born of insufficient training or practice. This is why I took such a keen interest in the MKA1919, a shotgun was designed with the AR15 users in mind. The right hand charging handle actually makes its manual of arms closer to Sig556, but the rest of the design, including sights, safety and stock all favor the most common sporting and defensive rifle in America.

From the beginning of the first Obama campaign for the presidency, conservatives have been screaming that the press was going too easy on him. The mainstream media has been referred to as his instrument for years, and only recently has started to wake up. But, in the wake of the Edward Snowden affair, there is still the possibility that the administration can keep the traditional media controlled, if through no other means, then through intimidation – of either journalists, their government sources, or both.     Continue reading “Dianne Feinstein targets citizen journalism”

(NaturalNews) When it comes to people smoking cigarettes, we all know how the federal government feels about this particular freedom — the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for example, has been pushing for graphic new warning labels on cigarette packs in the U.S. that remind users they could die from lighting up. But untold thousands of people die or become seriously injured every year from getting vaccinated as well, and yet the government provides no warnings whatsoever about the dangers of common vaccines.    Continue reading “If cigarette packs carry warnings about death, why don’t vaccines?”

peachesThe Organic Prepper

Nothing says summer like taking nibble from a peach, still warm from the sun, that is so juicy it runs down your chin when you bite into it.  If you aren’t lucky enough to have a tree in your own back yard, the farmer’s markets are bursting with peaches this time of year.  (Find a local farmer’s market HERE).

Peach trivia: Peaches were first cultivated in China, where their consumption was documented as early as the 10th century.  Peaches were planted in North America in the 17th century, but not grown commercially until the 19th century. Peaches are a member of the rose family. There are over 200 varieties of peaches.   Continue reading “This Week’s Harvest: Peaches”

Shenandoah – by Walter White

Tonight, the AMC channel on cable begins the finale of a program based on the fictional character known as “Walter White,” a persona that this author has adopted for the purpose of reminding the American public how pathetically pussified and weak they have become. Is the character on the television show honorable or worthy of worship? Hell no, and neither am I. I just wish to thank the owners of JohnGaltFLA.com for allowing me to present this one time rant about how pitiful America as a nation has become, and the resistance to tyranny evolved into a political sideshow instead of a true 3% movement.   Continue reading “State of the United States by a Pissed Off American”

HSLDA – by William A. Estrada, Esq.

In 2010, Congress passed a health care reform bill, and President Obama signed it into law. You may have recently heard a rumor that the health care law includes a provision mandating home visits by government social workers. While HSLDA strongly opposed passage of the health care law, urges Congress to repeal the law and continues to fight against its provisions which threaten religious freedom, we must point out that this particular rumor is not true.   Continue reading “Will Health Care Reform Mean Government Bureaucrats Can Invade My Home?”
