WASHINGTON — Less than a week after the Obama administration announced that it would double the U.S. troop presence in Iraq, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress Thursday that U.S. troops might eventually accompany Iraqi troops to the front lines in their battle to reclaim ground from the Islamic State.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey’s comments, made during testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, further fueled fears that the U.S. mission in Iraq is creeping toward a combat role for American troops, a prospect President Barack Obama repeatedly has ruled out.    Continue reading “Dempsey again cites possibility of sending U.S. troops into Iraq combat”

Money might be the root of all evil, but that’s a risk Islamic State seems willing to take.

In a bid to shed the “tyrannical monetary system that was imposed upon the Muslims” and avoid becoming “easy prey for the Jews and Crusaders,” the militant group has decided to create a new currency, according to a statement released Thursday by the Financial Diwan [Office] of the Islamic State.   Continue reading “Islamic State wants to create its own currency”

Israel announced Wednesday it will refuse entry to United Nations human rights investigators who seek to probe potential war crimes committed in the latest 50-day military assault on Gaza.

The 47-member UN Human Rights Council in July approved the inquiry into “all violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the occupied Gaza Strip in the context of military operations conducted since mid June,” focusing on the actions of Israel as well as Hamas. Twenty-nine nations voted in favor of the investigation, with the U.S. issuing the sole “no” vote.   Continue reading “Israeli Government To Refuse Entry to UN Team Investigating War Crimes in Gaza”

Washington’s new gun control law. At least 5,500 are going to choose to openly violate the gun control  law, I-594, at the state capitol in Olympia on December 13th. The law goes into effect on December 4th, after the Secretary of State certifies the election results. No mainstream media source has mentioned the rare event, even though reservations increase every day.

Basically unheard of in the modern era; 5,500 people will willingly violate the law through civil disobedience, and violate felony gun laws. Washington is one of few remaining states that has stayed friendly to gun owners, but gun owners are outraged that a few billionaires were able to buy the election, contributing almost half the $10 million gave to the race to support I-594, which was right at 10 times as much as the opposition. Unsuccessful at coercing the legislature to pass the law, gun control supporters relied on billionaires to push it through as an initiative. Their money provided the funds to run non-stop misleading ads on TV.   Continue reading “Over 5,000 Gun Owners Set to Publicly Defy New Gun Control Law”

“This conclusion my friends is crystal clear. Namely that the propaganda machine is already at work . The press, the cinema, well known citizens, are either wittingly or unwittingly conditioning America for war. The invasion is upon you! Racial and religious psychology is being employed to line up leaders. Catch words are being used as bait to deceive the masses. Once more therefore I restate, what are we Americans planning to do about this foreign invasion? An invasion not of soldiers armed with machine guns – but of professional propagandists to stand behind the remarks at the dinner table or assault you from the silver screen or the columms of a newspaper as they explode the bombs of poison gas over the countryside of our country… Continue reading “Catholic Priest Exposes War Agenda in 1939: “The propagandists are at work in government, in journalism, and in the cinemas.

A procedural decision in a landmark Second Amendment case could spell the end for California laws restricting the issuance of permits to carry concealed handguns.

The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would bar other law enforcement officials, including state Attorney General Kamala Harris, from gaining “intervener status” to join in further challenges of its ruling in a case originally brought by an independent journalist who sued the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department over its policy of requiring a specific reason for being allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public.   Continue reading “New court decision could end California’s restrictions on conceal-carry permits”
