Obama administration regulations could force power plants that make 40 percent of the nation’s electricity to shut down.
At issue are EPA restrictions on emissions that would close hundreds of coal-burning power plants which represent around 40 percent of the nation’s electricity. Continue reading “Obama Regulations To Shut Down 40 Percent Of Nation’s Electricity”
Do you ever have one of those days when you’re reading the news, and you have an epiphany?
This morning I realized, looking over the day’s information, we don’t need to be depopulated. No dramatic measures need to be taken. People are dumb enough to do it all on their own. Darwin was right – they’ll just weed themselves out. Continue reading “The Morning News: Proving Darwin Right, One Story at a Time”
On December 14, 2013, communist Red China put a robotic lander on the moon in an outward display of that communist country’s capture and utilization of technologies developed via the brain trust of the United States. Mark Koernke at that time pointed out that which should have been obvious to every thinking American.
Where once the United States was a great power, respected and admired by the peoples of the world for our advanced technologies developed via our systems of free thought and free enterprise, we have now morphed into a totalitarian military dictatorship, oppressed by an illegitimate government that uses every new technology to further the oppression and control to the point of removing any notion of privacy, even to the extent of our private thoughts.

So what are Americans debating today? Well if you find yourselves submerged in the false reality of the mainstream propaganda, there are a few.
First, who should retain the spy data being compiled through the total surveillance mechanism known as the NSA? Last week, the infiltrator Barry Soetoro announced reforms to the NSA and this week we will all be debating the pros and cons, at least the communists will be debating among themselves.
The fact is the very existence of the NSA represents a running violation of the people’s Bill of Rights. Our national security, in accordance with our founding documents, rests with we the people, as self governing individuals. Nowhere in our original Constitution did we the people grant our servants the authority to legislate policies to govern our day to day activities, nor the authority to create government police agencies to enforce these unconstitutional dictates.

The U.S. Supreme Court is delving into the technology-versus-privacy debate, agreeing to hear two cases that test whether police making an arrest may search cellphones without a warrant.
The court’s announcement Friday that it would take the cases came just hours after President Obama outlined his proposals to address government retention of citizen phone data as part of his speech outlining reforms at the National Security Agency. Continue reading “Supreme Court To Decide If Warrant Needed To Search Cellphone”
Some follow-up on Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania Mayor James Schiliro, the member of Michael Bloomberg’s anti–Second Amendment outfit “Mayors Against Illegal Guns,” who was busted after demanding homosexual favors at gunpoint:
Schiliro was sentenced to 10 to 20 months for an alcohol-fueled episode last February in which he had a police car bring a former neighbor – a 20-year-old to whom he said he was attracted – to his home, made him drink wine, and refused to let him leave for 3 1/2 hours.

The Philippine navy hopes to add two more warships to its fleet as Southeast Asian countries continue to expand their militaries in response to the Chinese government’s increasingly assertive territorial ambitions in the South China Sea, also known as the West Philippine Sea. Armed forces chief of staff General Emmanuel Bautista said the new acquisitions would come under the fresh U.S. military assistance plan announced last month by U.S. Continue reading “Philippines Sends More Warships To South China Sea”

Trust in governments fell, making them the world’s least-trusted institutions for a third year, according to a survey published before policy makers and executives gather for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Faith in governments fell to 44 percent from 48 percent in 2013, according to the 2014 Trust Barometer survey published by Edelman, a public-relations firm. Trust in business held steady at about 58 percent, bringing its lead over government to the widest in the 14 years the poll has been taken.

Earlier this year, Texas state brought several SWAT teams to the quiet and peaceful Garden of Eden Community and threatened its existence. In what appears to be an intimidation tactic, only a single arrest was made based on unrelated outstanding traffic violations, and a handful of citations were given for city code violations. Absolutely no drug related violations were found and all inhabitants of the community were unarmed. Continue reading “SWAT Teams Raid Sustainable Community”

Predictably, President Obama has done nothing significant to diminish the National Security State. He presided over its expansion. Why should he want to undo it?
It’s a big mistake, however, in understanding the National Security State (NSS) and what to do about it to focus on Obama. The issue concerning the NSS is much deeper than one man, one president and a few terms of office. Continue reading “Dangerous Organizations of the National Security State”
In the late sixties, Terry Talbot and his younger brother John began playing music in Chicago. A friend and local record producer suggested they do what they were best at, an amplified country rock sound, as influenced by The Byrds. The brothers formed a band, Mason Proffit, and released their first album in 1969. Terry was 21 and John, who had dropped out of school to play music, was 15.
Over the next four years, Mason Proffit played as many as 300 shows a year and released five albums. Once, while they jammed with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Earl Scruggs called John Talbot “the best banjo player I’ve ever heard.” The Eagles credited Mason Proffit with some of the inspiration for “Hotel California.” Continue reading “Mason Proffit”

Cops bloodied an 84-year-old man and put him in the hospital Sunday when he jaywalked at an Upper West Side intersection and didn’t appear to understand their orders to stop, witnesses said.
Kang Wong was strolling north on Broadway and crossing 96th Street at around 5 p.m., when an officer told him to halt because he had walked against the light. Continue reading “Cops bloody old man — for jaywalking”

The bomb threat was just a hoax, but officials at Hebron High School near Dallas took no chances: School officials called the police and locked down the school this week. Separately, a middle school 2,000 miles away in Washington State went on lockdown after a student brought a toy gun to class.
But the threat and the gun were real at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, N.M., where a seventh grader with a sawed-off shotgun walked into the gymnasium and opened fire on his classmates on Tuesday, wounding two of them. School officials and teachers, who had long prepared for such a moment, locked down the school as police officers and parents rushed to the scene.

The next two years mark some very interesting signs in the heavens. In Genesis 1:14 God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” The word “seasons” (Strong’s: 4150) properly translated means “appointed times.”
In addition to the heavenly lights providing earth with light they also provide man with signs. However, we would like to caution the reader not to make a religion out of any perceived sign in the heavens. Simply digest it and use your own spiritual discernment leaving God’s Word as the ultimate resource on our spiritual path. Continue reading “2014: Signs, Seasons and the Coming Tetrad”
(ZeroHedge) – On December 24, we posted an update on Germany’s gold repatriation process: a year after the Bundesbank announced its stunning decision, driven by Zero Hedge revelations, to repatriate 674 tons of gold from the New York Fed and the French Central Bank, it had managed to transfer a paltry 37 tons.
This amount represents just 5% of the stated target, and was well below the 84 tons that the Bundesbank would need to transport each year to collect the 674 tons ratably over the 8 year interval between 2013 and 2020. The release of these numbers promptly angered Germans, and led to the rise of numerous allegations that the reason why the transfer is taking so long is that the gold simply is not in the possession of the offshore custodians, having been leased, or worse, sold without any formal or informal announcement. However, what will certainly not help mute “conspiracy theorists” is today’s update from today’s edition of Die Welt, in which we learn that only a tiny 5 tons of gold were sent from the NY Fed. The rest came from Paris. Continue reading “Germany Has Recovered A Paltry 5 Tons Of Gold From The NY Fed After One Year”

World powers and Iran are due to start implementing a landmark deal on Monday curbing Tehran’s nuclear program, amid hopes that it will pave the way for a broad settlement of a decade-old standoff and ease fears of a new Middle East war.
If, as expected, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog confirms in the morning that Iran is meeting its end of the agreement, the European Union and the United States will later in the day suspend some economic sanctions in return.
