By now, most Americans realize what they have earned, built and own, no longer belongs to them. It will be taken unlawfully in the blink of any eye. Much like Washington, global parasites now want more of your income and wealth. The international elitists are coming for your stuff and many in our government—Democrat and Republican—are entertaining closed-door schemes designed to, once again, relieve Americans of their property.

It’s hard to decide which is scarier: a grinning “Barack Obama” wearing a straightjacket or the reaction to his appearance at one company’s annual Halloween costume party.
Seattle – On Friday, that program — called Redlight Traffic — is launching a first-of-its-kind app for iPhones and Androids that will funnel citizens’ anonymous tips on suspected prostitution activities to law enforcement through a secure website that can only be accessed by police officers. (Because we’re all about creating citizen spies, I bet the old Gestapo, KGB & Stasi police forces are jealous. Feel free to make an anonymous call & report your neighbors wife or your ex-girlfriend) Continue reading “Don’t like your neighbor or your ex-wife?

I am posting this article by my friend Steven Michaels with the following disclaimer:
My skepticism mainly arises from knowing that almost every computer made nowadays has a backdoor so that the NSA and similar spook agencies can keep tabs on what everyone is doing. All digital communications are monitored. So my question — and I think it is a damned good one — is this: how the hell did an international group of brainiacs work together to get their machine through planning, research and development, and actual construction, without getting wiped off the map, probably before they even got started? I approached Mike Harris with this question. He swatted me away like a pesky fly. Well, a gadfly I am. I ask good questions, and until I get the semblance of a reasonable answer, I will remain unsatisfied. Continue reading “Did Rogue White Hats Kill the Fukushima Typhoons?”
A Tennessee prosecutor in the case of State v. Powell apparently moved to preclude the defense from referring to his side as “the government.” The defense lawyer had an entertaining response. You can get the whole motion here, but I’ve reproduced most of it below:
The government has moved to ban the word “government.” The State of Tennessee offers precisely zero legal authority for its rather nitpicky position, and the defense can find none. The Plaintiff has failed to carry its burden on this motion. Moreover, the Plaintiff’s proposed ban on speech would violate the First Amendment. The motion should be denied.

(WND) – Retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, recipient of the U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, as well as other top retired officers, say President Obama’s agenda is decimating the morale of the U.S. ranks to the point members no longer feel prepared to fight or have the desire to win.
“There is no doubt he (Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him” over such issues as “homosexuals, women in foxholes, the Obama sequester,” Brady told WND. “They are purging everyone, and if you want to keep your job, just keep your mouth shut,” one source told WND.
