As you may have heard, Boulder, Colorado has been hit by massive flooding over the past week, and it’s been something of a mess. A local company, Falcon UAV, makers of special drones which are built for the government, approved by the FAA, and specialize in using GPS and cameras to generate highly accurate maps, started helping to map the damage with those drones.

The Daily Caller – by Eric Owens

The Ohio State University Department of Public Safety has acquired an armored military vehicle that looks like it belongs in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Gary Lewis, a senior director of media relations at OSU, told The Daily Caller via email that the “unique, special-purpose vehicle is a replacement” for the “police fleet.” He called the armored jalopy “an all-hazard, all-purpose, public safety-response vehicle” with “obviously enhanced capabilities.”   Continue reading “The cops at Ohio State have an armored fighting vehicle now”

President Obama is a deep trouble after President Putin stood his ground and did not buy into the bluff of war with Syria.  While the latest mass shooting at a Navy Yard in Washington DC could be a false flag attack to try to grab the guns out of people’s possession and divert attention from the most glaring scandals that can bring down the Obama White House.

So why in a convenient time there is a mass shooting on a Navy base in Washington DC which both are Gun Free zones. Does anyone remember the Ft Hood shootings where people were sitting ducks in a gun free zones.   Continue reading “Another Mass Shooting as a Desperate Attempt to divert Attention From the Corrupt Scandals and Bad Laws being Passed in Congress.”

A new “initiative” to make Syria hand over its chemical weapons is currently being flouted by the Obama regime as a way of avoiding a potentially embarrassing defeat in a Congressional vote on the matter—but it ignores the reality that Israel has the largest stockpile of chemical and other weapons of mass destruction in the entire Middle East.   Continue reading “What About Israel’s WMD Stockpile?”

A CIA employee who refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement barring him from discussing the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, has been suspended as a result and forced to hire legal counsel, according to a top House lawmaker.

Rep. Frank Wolf (R., Va.) revealed at an event on Monday that his office was anonymously informed about the CIA employee, who is purportedly facing an internal backlash after refusing to sign a legal document barring him from publicly or privately discussing events surrounding the Benghazi attack.   Continue reading “Congressman: CIA Employee Who Refused to Sign Non-Disclosure on Benghazi Suspended”

The worse threat every American faces comes from his/her own government.

At the federal level the threat is a seventh war (Syria) in 12 years, leading on to the eighth and ninth (Iran and Lebanon) and then on to nuclear war with Russia and China.   Continue reading “Police Are More Dangerous To The Public Than Are Criminals”

World Events and the Bible

By now everyone has heard about the horrific shooting that took place at the Washington D.C. Navy Yard where 13 were murdered. While this was no doubt a tragic event. Why does the media sensationalize these types of events? For ratings of course and to promote fear of firearms. We reported just days ago about the passage of anti-gun bills by the California Legislature. These bills now lay on the desk of the Governor. If signed, they will become “law” making criminals out of millions of Californians if they fail to register their now titled, “assault weapon” in addition to a slue of other “laws”.   Continue reading “Navy Yard Shooting: Another Attempt on Our Second Amendment”

If anyone were to take the time to read the Federal Register of Laws, in which all laws passed by Congress are recorded since its first session in 1789, and they read an average of 700 pages per week, it would take them over 25,000 years to read them all, a feat impossible in multiple lifetimes.

Many laws have been passed with the idea Congress has the constitutional authority “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper…”[1] At first glance, this clause seems to give Congress unlimited authority to pass nearly anything they choose, but this is not the case. Continue reading “Are all Laws Necessary?”

The financial octopus known as Citigroup is the result of the marriage of one of the country’s oldest and most powerful commercial banks (Citibank) and a conglomerate (Travelers Group) created by Sanford Weill to promote and exploit the weakening of federal rules governing the financial sector. During the 2008 credit crisis, a struggling Citigroup had to be bailed out by the federal government, which ignored calls for its breakup and aside from some multi-million-dollar regulatory settlements did little to curb its aggressive practices.   Continue reading “Citigroup: Corporate Rap Sheet”

Elizabeth O'BagyThe Daily Beast – by J

Elizabeth O’Bagy, the Syria researcher at the center of a week-long controversy surrounding her academic credentials and her work with the Syrian opposition, admitted for the first time to The Daily Beast she was never enrolled in a Ph.D. program despite representations she made to the press and multiple organizations for whom she worked.

O’Bagy, whose work on the Syrian opposition was hailed by Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), was fired from her job as the lead Syria researcher at the Institute for the Study of War on Sept. 10  after it was revealed that she misled her bosses by telling them she had completed a dissertation defense for a Georgetown Ph.D. Subsequently, questions arose as to whether or not O’Bagy was ever enrolled in the joint MA/Ph.D. program that she claimed in her official biographyContinue reading “Embattled Syria Expert Elizabeth O’Bagy Says She Made ‘Many Mistakes’”

When you add up the numbers, a very disturbing picture of Obama’s presidency begins to unfold. He was elected as the “racial uniter”, the Nobel Peace Prize president who was going to “stop the rise of the oceans” and “heal our planet.”

Yet his 4 and one half years of occupying the desk at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue hide a sinister statistic – America has had 15 mass shootings since he became president, and today’s massacre at the Navy Shipyard now brings that total to 16. And since this is a list of shootings only, it does not include the Boston Bombing Massacre that Obama used to roll out martial law for a 24-hour period in Boston.

How do you explain that?   Continue reading “Today Marks The 16th American Mass Shooting Since Obama Became President”
