The Afghan president is angry at being kept in the dark over a deal to free five Taliban leaders in exchange for a captured U.S. soldier, and accuses Washington of failing to back a peace plan for the war-torn country, a senior source said on Monday.

The five prisoners were flown to Qatar on Sunday as part of a secret agreement to release Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who left Afghanistan for Germany on the same day.   Continue reading “Afghan president fumes at prisoner deal made behind his back: source”

SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Similar to the Terrorgate Scandal of September 2013 which resulted in the arrest of 3 top U.S. Navy officials and the murder of 18 U.S. and NATO Special Forces (i.e., professional terrorists), the latest wave of foiled Obama sanctioned terror attacks has resulted in the murder of 14 U.S. and NATO Special Forces.

In both cases, multiple state-sponsored terror plots were exposed by Truther.org, resulting in the brutal assassination of 14 Special Forces who were double-crossed by their handlers. In other words, dead men tell no tales and these Special Forces had first-hand knowledge about false-flag terror plots and had to be neutralized, most likely by CIA hit men.   Continue reading “Obama White House Linked to Murder of 14 Special Forces over Memorial Day Weekend”

Medical Marijuana

Well, things are certainly heating up in the U.S. After what had seemed like a rapid halt of the medical marijuana legalization wave, it seems that we are finally picking up momentum once again. Fresh on the heels of Maryland’s medical marijuana legalization, it seems that Minnesota has become the official 22nd state to legalize marijuana. Needless to say, the law comes with its own set of restriction just to show us they mean business. However, patients may finally sigh with relief because medical marijuana will now be treated like a recreational drug. On the other hand, the biggest restriction that this law has to offer is unlike any medical marijuana restriction so far because you are not allowed to smoke marijuana.   Continue reading “Minnesota Legalizes Medical Marijuana”

Every juvenile prison must be immediately closed and all of its prisoners freed.

Oh. Oh. Oh! That sounds too drastic and simplistic and revolutionary.

We talk about being reformist or revolutionary as if it were a personality choice. Yet we also talk about being scientific, about being reality-based. Unlike reactionary climate-denying racist creationists we claim, most of us, to recognize such phenomena as climate change and to act on them (leave aside for the moment whether we’re really acting appropriately on that one).   Continue reading “Juvenile Prison: $5 Billion for Child Abuse”

Government on Drugs

(Newsdaily) World governments should not rush to approve the new Palestinian government, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday after the Palestinians accused Israel of looking to punish them over a unity deal.

“I call on all responsible elements within the international community not to hurry to recognise the Palestinian government that Hamas is part of, and which relies on Hamas,” Netanyahu told ministers at the weekly cabinet meeting, saying it would “strengthen terror”.   Continue reading “Netanyahu says world governments shouldn’t recognize Palestinian government”

Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)-  In response to the immediate push for more gun control following three stabbing deaths and three shooting deaths in Santa Barbara, two Democrats in California’s State Assembly are considering “gun violence restraining orders” that could leed to bans on gun ownership for persons convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

According to The Christian Science Monitor, on May 27 2014 assembly members Nancy Skinner (D-15) and Das Williams (D-37) “announced their plans” to introduce a new mental health-based gun control measure called a “gun violence restraining order.”    Continue reading “CA Dems Announce ‘Gun Violence Restraining Order,’ Could Include DUI Convictions”

Freedom Outpost – by Suzanne Hamner

In my recent article, Medicaid Kills, the poor health care outcomes involving Medicaid covered individuals along with waste and mismanagement in the Georgia Medicaid program were highlighted as examples of why Medicaid expansion under Obamacare is not a solution to addressing the health care needs of the uninsured or under-insured. The article indicated that, along with Georgia, other state Medicaid programs are filled with the same problems riddling this federally-funded “state” health insurance coverage program. In fact, it was reported by the Daily Caller that the State of Illinois paid out $12 million in Medicaid benefits over the past two years on covered individuals who were, in fact, dead.   Continue reading “Illinois Pays out $12 Million in Bogus Medicaid Benefits – Wait Till the Full Force of Obamacare is Implemented”

As more information comes in regarding the release of American POW Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five, high-level Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facts surrounding his capture and the many rescue attempts his fellow soldiers participated in are still murky, at best.

One of the reasons for the vague details regarding the his disappearance is that Bergdahl’s fellow troops were pushed to sign non-disclosure agreements agreeing to never share details regarding his June 30, 2009 disappearance as well as their repeated attempts to win his freedom.    Continue reading “Report: Soldiers Pushed To Sign Non-Disclosure Agreements On Bergdahl’s Disappearance, Rescue Efforts”
