Balance Of Power In Senate To Be Decided During Midterm ElectionsMail.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill that would block suspected Nazi war criminals from receiving Social Security benefits is heading to President Barack Obama for his signature.

By voice vote late Thursday, the Senate gave final congressional approval to a measure that would shut a loophole that allowed suspected Nazis to be paid millions of dollars in benefits, clearing it for the White House. Under the bill, benefits would be terminated for Nazi suspects who have lost their American citizenship, a step called denaturalization. U.S. law currently requires a higher threshold — a final order of deportation — before Social Security benefits can be stopped.   Continue reading “Congress sends Obama bill to stop Nazi benefits”

Real Currencies – by Anthony Migchels

The call for a Basic Income is both old and mounting. Success of the scheme is dependent on funding. If it’s some sort of National Dividend, sharing the bounty of the Commons, it’s necessary. If it’s a Marxist tax based redistribution scheme, it’s worse than the disease it’s supposed to heal.

A Basic Income, in whatever form, is very much on the agenda at the moment. And it’s eminently transparent why: growing desperation for economic justice in the face of the blatant centralization of wealth in ever fewer hands. Through Usury, badly exacerbated by the crunch, which saw huge increase of wealth for the 0,001%, while the rest continues to suffer badly.   Continue reading “The Basic Income”

It looks to me like one objective of the “globalists” is to keep people stupid and sedated.  If Afroman believes what he is saying then he definitely isn’t smoking the same weed that is selling in Canada.  I smoked regularly for about 15 years starting when I was 14, I haven’t smoked at all in over a year now.  I can tell you a couple things about weed:

-What is selling these days has more of a sedative effect than ever.  I stopped smoking because I didn’t like the effects I was getting from it – feeling brain dead and falling asleep.   Continue reading “Marijuana makes you smarter?”

The Hill – by Sarah Ferris

Immigration reform champion Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) on Tuesday urged undocumented immigrants to take quick advantage of President Obama’s executive actions giving them temporary legal status.

Speaking in both English and Spanish, he urged those eligible for the new program to also get their paperwork ready for legal status.

“When that door opens, we should have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, with their documents, ready to submit them,” Gutiérrez said at a Capitol Hill press conference. “While Republicans are complaining and bellyaching, we’re going to act.”   Continue reading “Gutiérrez presses ‘millions’ to get documents ready for legal status”
