Does the NSA really operate a vast database that allows its analysts to sift through millions of records showing nearly everything a user does on the Internet, as was recently reported? Yes, and people should stop worrying and learn to love it, according former NSA chief Gen. Michael Hayden.

Last week, the Guardian published a series of leaked documents revealing new details about an NSA surveillance program called XKEYSCORE. The newspaper said that the program enabled the agency to “search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals,” and secret slides dated 2008 showed how people could be deemed a target for searching the Web for “suspicious stuff” or by using encryption.   Continue reading “Former NSA Chief on Latest Leaked Dragnet Spy Program: It’s Real, and It’s Spectacular”

When will the breakdown of the system begin?

If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ll likely agree with contrarian economist Jim Willie. The breakdown is happening right here and now – it’s already in progress.

Most Americans haven’t realized it just yet, but everything including our economic, financial, monetary and political systems are in full meltdown mode. It was so bad in 2008, in fact, that Congressional members were warned that if they failed to stabilize the financial system there would be tanks in the streets.   Continue reading “Shortages Are Going to Drive People Out of Their Minds: “That’s When the Riots Will Start””

Curious where all that dramatic stock footage of one (or the other) side in the ongoing Egyptian (non-)coup comes from? Apparently quite a bit of it is from repeated takes of the best staged (counter) revolution that Straight-To-YouTube money can buy.

The following clip released by LiveLeak shows a Muslim Brotherhood “demonstration” in Egypt that was specifically staged to get the most dramatic poses, as the actors freeze their poses for the photographers. Injuries and even bloodstains are faked. Which is not to say only the MB is responsible for such drama: what is shown below is a prevalent tactic used across various ideologies and factions around the world to generate sympathy with the naive, gullible and easily influenced “western” audiences who are always willing to accept “reality” at face value.   Continue reading “The Muslim Brotherhood: The Best Straight-To-YouTube Actors Money Can Buy?”

Helen Clark was the first female Prime Minister in the history of New Zealand. She is both a socialist and a globalist. During the five years and seven months that I lived in New Zealand, she was the prime minister for 2 of those years. Helen Clark was in office for a total of nine years (three full terms).

The gossip in New Zealand was simple, Helen Clark was to go along with the “new world order” which is really the “old world order” and if she did upon exiting her position as New Zealand’s Prime Minister would be appointed into a key position at the United Nations.   Continue reading “Helen Clark Former PM of New Zealand Sold Out To The UN.”

When will this insanity end? If Barack Obama has his way, sharing a song, video or show on YouTube will soon become a felony. You’ve read that correctly, a Barack Obama task force has revived a SOPA provision that will outlaw online streaming according to this story from Russia Today.

These men and women in Washington DC have forgotten that they are merely SERVANTS to WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! It is time that they REMEMBER!!!!!    Continue reading “YouTube Streaming Felony Charges May Soon Become A Reality If Barack Obama Gets His Way”

Earlier we reported that in an act of embarrassing political ineptitude not to mention detente reminiscent of the Cold War’s worst days, the US president did his best Freudian transference attempt today by blaming Putin for his ever escalating headaches caused by one 30 year old NSA whistleblower, and cancelling bilateral talks with the Russian president. And can anyone blame him: with the US increasingly slighted by both superascedent eastern powers, Russia and China, the US finds itself in a position in which it has never been – where foreign nations get to simply say “no.” Here is what else Russia is saying in the aftermath of Obama’s childish response.   Continue reading “Russia Responds To Obama Snub: “We Are Disappointed… But The Snowden Situation Wasn’t Created By Us””
