Here’s one way the US government is trying to combat terrorism without the use of controversial explosions. A tiny portion of your tax dollars—just a few million dollars annually—is funding the State Department’s trolling of jihadists on Twitter.

One of the State Department’s official (and verified) Twitter accounts, called “Think AgainTurn Away” and going by the handle “@ThinkAgain_DOS,” is devoted to speaking “some truths about terrorism” online. If you follow the account, you’ll notice that this truth often manifests itself in the form of the State Department directly tweeting at Islamists and their supporters in English, and countering their beliefs.   Continue reading “The State Department Is Actively Trolling Terrorists on Twitter”

Sixty years ago this week, a misfired hydrogen bomb test plastered with lethal radiation the Japanese fishing boat Daigo Fukuryu Maru—“Lucky Dragon”—and its 23-man crew. The March 1, 1954, test, code-named Castle Bravo, spewed a deadly ash cloud into wrongly predicted winds, contaminating a huge swath of the Pacific Ocean.

The Dragon’s crew fell ill with burns, hair loss, joint pain, nausea, headaches and other ailments diagnosed by medical experts as acute radiation syndrome. Radio operator Aikichi Kuboyama died six months later at the age of 40, praying that he would be “the last victim of an atomic or hydrogen bomb.” Liver cancer eventually killed more than a quarter of the crew.   Continue reading “The USS Reagan Is Fukushima’s Unlucky Dragon”

Ukraine’s statement at the UN that 16,000 Russian soldiers have been deployed to Crimea has caused a frenzy among Western media which chooses to ignore that those troops have been there since the late 1990s in accordance with a Kiev-Moscow agreement.

Western media describes the situation in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea as if a full-scale Russian invasion were under way, with headlines like: “Ukraine says Russia sent 16,000 troops to Crimea” and“Ukraine crisis deepens as Russia sends more troops into Crimea,” as well as “What can Obama do about Russia’s invasion of Crimea?”    Continue reading “Russia’s 25,000-troop allowance & other facts you may not know about Crimea”

President Obama is attempting to circumvent Congress through executive orders that are highly suspect.Examiner – by Jim Kouri

The release of the proposed Fiscal-Year 2015 Budget released on Tuesday reveals that President Barack Obama and his minions have not abandoned their mission to control guns in the hands of U.S. citizens, even after the abysmal failures last year in the liberal-left’s quest to pass their anti-gun agenda items, according to the Washington, D.C., political news web site, The Hill.

Despite cuts to the nation’s defense, homeland security and public safety budgets, Obama’s 2015 budget proposal reveals his continued goal of controlling firearms and ammunition in the hands of civilians who wish to protect themselves, their loved ones and their homes.   Continue reading “Obama’s 2015 budget take aim at American gun owners”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

Having “condemned Russia’s incredible act of aggression” which markets now appear to have forgotten about, we wonder just what Secretary of State John Kerry will have to say in this speech. Markets appear to think it’s all over and east and west Ukraine can all sing Kumbayah with Putin leading the melody but other leaders continue to call for “crushing” sanctions against Europe’s largest gas supplier. We are sure Kerry will clear it all up and explain where the line that was not crossed is… and for goodness’ sake don’t mention the Russian boots on the ground in Crimea.   Continue reading “John Kerry To Explain How Ukraine Is Fixed – Live Feed”

A number of conservative, rural Americans are taking about seceding and creating their own states, meaning a new map of the United States of America could include the following:   Continue reading “The New USA? Secession Movement Gains Steam”
