The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

The idea that the United States is on the brink of a horrifying economic crash is absolutely inconceivable to most Americans.  After all, the economy has been relatively stable for quite a few years and the stock market continues to surge to new heights.  On Friday, the Dow and the S&P 500 both closed at brand new all-time record highs.  For the year, the S&P 500 is now up 9 percent and the Nasdaq is now up close to 11 percent.  And American consumers are getting ready to spend more than 600 billion dollars this Christmas season.  That is an amount of money that is larger than the entire economy of Sweden.  So how in the world can anyone be talking about economic collapse?  Yes, many will concede, we had a few bumps in the road back in 2008 but things have pretty much gotten back to normal since then.  Why be concerned about economic collapse when there is so much stability all around us?   Continue reading “Most People Cannot Even Imagine That An Economic Collapse Is Coming”

“It’s official: The U.S. is the world’s leading terrorist state, and proud of it.”

That should have been the headline for the lead story in The New York Times on Oct. 15, which was more politely titled “CIA Study of Covert Aid Fueled Skepticism About Helping Syrian Rebels.”

The article reports on a CIA review of recent U.S. covert operations to determine their effectiveness. The White House concluded that unfortunately successes were so rare that some rethinking of the policy was in order.   Continue reading “America, the World’s Leading #1 Terrorist State”

Stunning Hypocrisy

The White House said today:

History shows that a free press remains a critical foundation for prosperous, open, and secure societies, allowing citizens to access information and hold their governments accountable. Continue reading “Obama Administration Praises Freedom of the Press … While GUTTING It in the U.S.”

Today the media prognosticators will do their charts, cite their polls and make their assessments on the results from the 2014 midterm elections. How exciting. Another cycle of “Great Expectations” posed for even bigger disappointments. A Congress firmly in the hands of the GOP ready to wage war against a Democrat progressive collectivist may seem promising for the heartland. However, there are very few indications that a monumental battle for a return to a constitutional republic will be the objective of Republican leadership. Fire Reid with a McConnell replacement simply means that deal making might return to the Capital, but forget about a most needed Presidential Appomattox surrender. There is no Court House in America that will allow the treason of Obama to be brought to justice.   Continue reading “Expectations after the 2014 Elections”

Press TV

In an interview with Press TV, he said that mixed messages come out about Washington-Tel Aviv relations and expressed hope that the United States moves away from Israel.

The author made the remarks on Thursday while commenting on a report that suggested testy relationship between the allies appears to have hit new lows.   Continue reading “US-Israel relations mired by mixed messages: Analyst”

WASHINGTON—Jerusalem’s status, which has sparked conflict for more than three millennia, was no less divisive Monday at the Supreme Court, where the Obama administration argued a 2002 law permitting Americans born in the city to list Israel as their birthplace on U.S. passports is unconstitutional.

While the justices were considering a legal question on separation of powers between the president and Congress, real-world tremors resonated in the courtroom over recent unrest in Jerusalem related to access to the Temple Mount.   Continue reading “Supreme Court Considers Jerusalem’s Status on U.S. Passports”

Left Hook – by Dean Henderson

In a March 7, 2011 article in The Independent of London (“America’s Secret Plan to Arm Libya’s Rebels”, journalist Robert Fisk reported that the Obama Administration had asked Saudi Arabia to arm the Libyan rebels. The Saudis have played this role for the City of London banker cabal for nearly a century – part of a quid pro quo which involves oil, arms, drugs and covert operations.

The Saudis have also invaded Bahrain to save the al-Khalifa monarchy. The Saudi throne has long served as anti-democratic bulwark in the region for the London/Wall Street bankers and their inbred royal European shareholder brethren. It was all part of a plan hatched by the Rothschild-controlled Business Roundtable a century ago to seize control of Middle East oil.    Continue reading “Rothschild’s Saudi Lapdog Armed Libyan Rebels”

KOIN 6 – by Ken Boddie

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Oregon will soon be the first state in the nation to charge drivers by the mile for maintaining the state’s roads in a test to begin next year.

ODOT is moving ahead with the road use fee to replace the gasoline tax. As cars get more fuel efficient, gas tax revenue is going down, and the state is looking for better ways to pay for keeping the roads in good shape.   Continue reading “ODOT to roll out mileage fee plan test”

The Daily Sheeple – by Melissa Melton

Does your vote really count?

Oh, come on.

Do you really have to ask?

The 2014 midterms aren’t even here yet, and already we have fraud leaking at the seams all over the place.

First it was reported that a “calibration error” in Cook County, Illinois was causing machines to register GOP votes for Democrats. The error was caught after Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan tried to vote for himself and watched his vote register for his Democratic opponent right before his eyes. The same thing happened on several other votes he tried to cast — all turned from Rep. to Dem.    Continue reading “2014 Midterms: Here Comes ALL the Voter Fraud…”

Guns Save Lives – by Dan Cannon

Seriously, what are people doing when traveling through airport security? I dislike the TSA as much as the next guy, but there is a pretty simple procedure in place for flying with a firearm and tossing it in your carry-on bag isn’t it.

According to the TSA Blog (they have a blog?), the agency confiscated 181 firearms from carry-on bags in October alone.

I consider my sidearm to be in the same category as my wallet and cell phone – things that I have with me all of the time. With that in mind, I can see how some people could possibly, maybe forget that their firearm needs to be checked.   Continue reading “WTF? TSA Confiscates 181 Firearms From Carry-On Bags in October Alone”
