New America Now – by Brandon Smith

Preparation for disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be as vital as any ideal found in the various practices of religion and spiritualism. Preparedness should be treated with reverence, discipline and duty. The drive for preparation should be seated in the very heart of humanity. As individuals and as a society, we should hold preparedness dear, for it is an expression of the desire for survival and the key to maintaining our inherent freedoms. Without self-sufficiency, we set ourselves up for endless failure and enslavement.   Continue reading “Time To Plan For The Worst Rather Than Hope For The Best”

Freedom Outpost – by Dr. Robert Owens

Over the years in this column I have written about the American Empire. I have advocated jettisoning the Empire to save the Republic. This topic has sparked debate and controversy even among the most dedicated readers. Usually the argument runs like this, “America is not an Empire, never has been and never will be,” or “America’s far-flung military deployments are not the garrisoning of an empire it is instead a forward defense of the homeland.”   Continue reading “Is America a Republic or an Empire?”

(Reuters) – Legislation allowing states to collect sales taxes on goods sold over the Internet made its way to the Senate floor on Thursday – a sign that a decades-long struggle by states to tax businesses beyond their borders could end this year.

In February, both chambers took up, with bipartisan support, identical bills that would clear the way for states to collect the so-called “Amazon tax.” On Thursday, the Senate debated incorporating the legislation as an amendment to its budget resolution.    Continue reading “State online sales tax bill takes the stage at Senate”

Preparing for the worst can be exhausting.

While generally speaking, preparedness activities and awareness provide peace of mind for me, there are days that I just don’t want to see another mylar bag or read the next scary headline trumpeting our imminent collapse.   Continue reading “Take a Break: 20 Ways to Keep Your Prepper Mojo”

How can anyone ever forget that Air Force One Photo Op Ordered by President Obama early in his first term?  Air Force One buzzed New York City complete with fighter escort.  New Yorkers watched in horror as they thought 9/11 was happening all over again.

Some say Air Force One is capable of ‘Time Travel’ but I don’t believe that…   Continue reading “The History of President Obama’s Vehicle Debacles in the News”

The rider (Sec. 735) that would prevent courts from halting illegally planted GM crops (sometimes courts find fault with USDA-approved GM fields) slipped into the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill HR 933 blind-sided an angry populace last week, giving little time to voice complaint before it was to go through the Senate.

On Wednesday morning, HR 933 passed with the new rider dubbed by activists as the Monsanto Protection Act therein. The rider has nothing to do with proposed government spending to keep it running for the next six months.   Continue reading “Alert: Monsanto Rider Slips Through Senate, Hour Glass Running…”

Americans are being bombarded with an immense propaganda campaign that says we need tougher gun-control laws in order to reduce the number of gun murders. The evidence is just the opposite. The states with the toughest gun-control laws have 60% more gun murders than the states with the least restrictive gun laws.

And that evidence, ironically, comes from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence – one of the nation’s leading advocates of tougher gun laws.   Continue reading “Gun-Control Laws = 60% More Gun Murders”

Russia spurned Cyprus’s offers of assets for a bailout as the island nation’s lawmakers begin debate on legislation to avert a financial collapse.

“I think we aren’t able to get the support that we wanted to get,” Cypriot Finance Minister Michael Sarris said in an interview after checking out of the Lotte Hotel in Moscow. “But we must go back home because things are getting serious.”   Continue reading “Russia Rejects Cyprus Financial Rescue Bid as Deadline Looms”

NICOSIA, Cyprus — Cypriot politicians moved Thursday to restructure the country’s most troubled bank as part of a broader bailout plan that must be in place by Monday to avoid financial ruin. Concerned customers rushed to get cash from ATMs as bank employees protested.

Cyprus has been told it must raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) if it is to receive 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) from its fellow eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund. If it does not find a way by Monday, the European Central Bank said it will cut off emergency support to the banks, letting them collapse.   Continue reading “Cyprus Has 4 Days To Create New Plan To Avoid Bankruptcy, European Central Bank Warns”

An active-duty Marine shot and killed two fellow Marines at the Corps Base Quantico in Virginia before committing suicide early Friday. While no motive is known or publicly released, it is known that hidden wounds of U.S. military aggression and violence against innocent people link to 18 suicides daily among veterans and suicides kill more American troops than war.   Continue reading “Hidden Wounds: Marine Shoots 2 Marines, Self Dead at Quantico Base”

An Orleans Parish judge on Thursday ruled that the state statute forbidding certain felons from possessing firearms is unconstitutional, in the wake of a constitutional amendment passed last year that made the right to bear arms a fundamental one in Louisiana. The issue will now go straight to the state Supreme Court, which must decide whether the statute infringes on Louisiana citizens’ now-enhanced right to gun possession.    Continue reading “New Orleans judge rules statute forbidding felons from having firearms unconstitutional after ‘fundamental right’ amendment”

(Reuters) – About 24 Guantanamo prisoners involved in a hunger strike that began six weeks ago are upset by the U.S. government’s failure to close the detention camp and hope to gain publicity for their plight, a Marine Corps general said on Wednesday.

General John Kelly, the head of U.S. military forces in the Latin America region, flatly rejected allegations from some prisoners that copies of the Koran had been mishandled, calling the claims “nonsense.”   Continue reading “Guantanamo hunger strike stems from frustration: U.S. general”

In 1798, when John Adams was president of the United States, the feds enacted four pieces of legislation called the Alien and Sedition Acts. One of these laws made it a federal crime to publish any false, scandalous or malicious writing — even if true — about the president or the federal government, notwithstanding the guarantee of free speech in the First Amendment.   Continue reading “The Tyranny Of The Majority The Patriot Act’s Mandated Silence”

“It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once.” –David Hume

In the aftermath of the highly suspicious Sandy Hook incident, Americans have experienced a predictable escalation of the elite’s ongoing efforts to destroy their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

A disarmed civilian population has long been a principle ambition of the globalist elites. As patriots are well aware, an armed population is the last line of defense against tyranny.   Continue reading “The Growth of American Fascism: From LBJ to Obama”
