It may be very un-American of me to say this, but I never liked baseball. I could never sit through two innings, let alone pay attention to an entire game. I don’t care what anyone’s batting average is, or how many strikeouts any pitcher has, and I never did, but when I was a kid, I had an awesome collection of baseball cards.

If you’re wondering why a kid who doesn’t like baseball would collect baseball cards, it’s because I was an aspiring businessman, and baseball cards are the “fiat currency” of America’s young boys. They’re not only traded for other baseball cards, but they can also buy other toys, and favors (goods and services), and also provide a youngster with the prestige of great wealth.   Continue reading “Money”

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Seeking a fresh start to a complex relationship, President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are retreating to a sprawling desert estate for two days of talks on high-stakes issues, including cybersecurity and North Korea’s nuclear threats.

Obama’s efforts to press Xi to halt China’s alleged hacking against the U.S. could be overshadowed by revelations that Obama’s own administration has been secretly seizing phone records from millions of Americans.   Continue reading “Obama, Xi Jinping Meeting In California”

San Onofre Power PlantHuffington Post – by MICHAEL R. BLOOD

LOS ANGELES — The troubled San Onofre nuclear power plant on the California coast is closing after an epic 16-month battle over whether the twin reactors could be safely restarted with millions of people living nearby, officials announced Friday.

Operator Southern California Edison said in a statement it will retire the twin reactors because of uncertainty about the future of the plant, which faced a tangle of regulatory hurdles, investigations and mounting political opposition. With the reactors idle, the company has spent more than $500 million on repairs and replacement power.   Continue reading “San Onofre Power Plant Closing After Epic 16-Month Battle”

Over and over again, the elite have managed to try and outsmart us and make the people feel as though they are one step ahead of us. After each passing false flag event, however, we have begun to develop our own kind of formulas and evaluations as to how the elite will tactically proceed after executing their next false flag attack, since we all know that these attacks won’t stop until We the People stand up and put a stop to it ourselves.

So in order to possibly understand their ways, I have been studying Sun Tzu’s, The Art of War and have found some interesting strategic steps that I feel the elite have probably used in the past and that we can study to help us analyze their possible tactics. Just like a disease, in order to fight, slow down and stop a threatening attack from spreading, it’s important that we know the possible stages that it must go through in order to carry out its function. Only then, can we find the means to counter the attack after it is set in motion.   Continue reading “How the elite try to use sheer cunning on the day that they take up command”

The “shocking” revelation that the NSA requested phone records from Verizon is not surprising to anyone who has been watching the rise of the police state that America has become since 9/11. The only thing new is now that a British newspaper published the story, the U.S. media and congress have to acknowledge it very publicly.   Continue reading “NSA spying on Verizon phone records is nothing new”

Greetings Netizens, and Citizens of the world.

Anonymous has obtained some documents that “they” do not want you to see, and much to “their” chagrin, we have found them, and are giving them to you.

These documents prove that the NSA is spying on you, and not just Americans. They are spying on the citizens of over 35 different countries.   Continue reading “Anonymous releases private NSA documents regarding spying”

Bailey shooting 1Eric Peter’s Autos – by Eric

Kevin Bailey, 22, got into a fatal shootout with Solon, Ohio cops the other day. It all began over a minor traffic violation – failure to signal before changing lanes. Once he had Bailey pulled over, the cop claimed he “smelled marijuana” – and it went bad from there. Bailey took off, ran off the road and – as the cops closed in on him, fired his gun at the cops. The cops were better shots and Bailey was killed at the scene.   Continue reading “One Thing Leads to Another”

If you hold precious metals in your portfolio, there is a good chance you fear hyperinflation and the crash of fiat currencies.

You probably distrust governments in general and believe they are self-serving and have no interest in your economic well-being. It is likely that your holdings in gold are your lifeline – your hope to get you through these times while holding on to your wealth.   Continue reading “Don’t Dismiss the Possibility of Gold Confiscation”

Verizon is being forced by the government to disclose telephone records of all of its customers. Those of us who want our call records to be private are being forced to reveal them to the government. We can’t keep them private even if we want to. What is wrong with the government spying on us in this way?   Continue reading “What’s Wrong With the NSA Collecting Your Phone Records?”

China is claiming control over the vast majority of the South China Sea in its latest effort to challenge U.S. authority, and President Obama must make it clear that cannot happen, warns retired U.S. Navy Admiral James “Ace” Lyons.

The New York Times recently reported that China is quietly distributing official maps to foreign diplomats showing it controls 80 percent of the South China Sea, considerably more than it has publicly claimed in the past. Six different nations have competing claims for various parts of the sea, which is rich in oil, gas and minerals. If China were recognized as controlling 80 percent of the sea, foreign planes and ships would have to seek permission to enter those critical waters.   Continue reading “China ‘throwing down the hatchet’ with U.S.”

The disclosures involving this (and the prior) administration’s Big Brother surveillance state, which would make Nixon blush with envy are now coming fast and furious (one wonders – why now: even that bastion of liberalism the NY Times, has turned against Obama). Although while the Guardian’s overnight news that Verizon (and most certainly AT&T as well among others) was cooperating with the NSA on spying on US citizens, so far at least the internet seemed, if only to the great unwashed masses, immune.   Continue reading “Meet PRISM / US-984XN – The US Government’s Internet Espionage Super Operation”
