We might ask ourselves the following:
Who created the Muslim refugees swarming over Europe?
Who created and financed Al Qaeda and ISIS?
Who benefits from the tragic attacks in Paris?
If all the roads in ancient Europe lead to Rome, then we know who built them. And if all the answers to our questions about the Paris attacks lead to one mad dog criminal entity, then we know who is responsible.   Continue reading “The Paris Attacks? Who Benefits?”

The Greensboro, North Carolina police department wants to make residents safer by disarming them.

The department held a turn-in Saturday and invited citizens to sign a “non-violence” pledge and hand over their guns.

” … gun owners may safely turn in unwanted firearms. Police employees will accept handguns, rifles, shotguns, and ammunition at the event. This is not a buy-back program. No cash will be given in exchange for weapons voluntarily surrendered to police,” the city said in a news release announcing the program.   Continue reading “NC police department urges residents to turn in their guns”

The Bataclan theater, targeted in Friday night’s Paris terror attacks, was Jewish-owned for decades, but was sold two months ago, its former owners said.

French magazine Le Point said early Saturday that the Bataclan, where at least 80 people were massacred by Islamic State gunmen on Friday night, has for years been the target of anti-Zionist groups as the Jewish owners often put on pro-Israel events. The publication quoted a member of the extremist group Army of Islam, who told French security services in 2011 that, “We had planned an attack against the Bataclan because its owners are Jews.”   Continue reading “Jewish owners recently sold Paris’s Bataclan theater, where IS killed dozens”

The French Ministry of Defense said it targeted a command post and a terrorist training camp, dropping 20 bombs on ISIS’s de facto capital in Raqqa, Syria.

When horrible events happen, people want to know why. Why was a random group of people targeted to have their innocent day destroyed by violence and terror? Why did the culprit choose that group of victims, that day on the calendar, that specific location? And who? Who was the mastermind behind the event? Who were the members of the group that perpetrated the horror?

This is always followed by the speculation that things are not as they have been presented to us.  Most people in the preparedness world have a very valid mistrust of the corporate-sponsored mainstream media. We look to other sources for our news, and rightly so.   Continue reading “How to Survive a Terrorist Attack”

Fundamentally, biological warfare is sneaky. It involves a microbial sucker punch to its intended target, often accomplished in a manner in which the aggressor can claim clean hands, while his victim may suffer or die.

Biological warfare can take a number of forms. The question—how can you get a bacteriological or toxic agent on board without the target being alerted– has been asked and answered. In addition to using humans and animals as vectors, biological warfare agents can be airborne, waterborne, foodborne or put into pharmaceuticals.   Continue reading “US Senate Passes Bill Approving Mandatory Vaccinations For Veterans”

Exactly two months ago we reported that as Europe’s biggest refugees crisis since World War II was getting worse with each passing day, suddenly Europe was flooded with reports of “ISIS Terrorists” posing as refugees.

What we said we disturbingly prophetic when looking at the immediate consequences of Europe’s “infiltration” by the CIA-crated fighters meant to overthrow Assad’s regime, also known as ISIS. Specifically, we said “focus on the propaganda, [which] is in full crisis mode: A recent article in the UK Express Daily claimed that IS “smuggled thousands of covert jihadists into Europe.” It cited a January BuzzFeed interview with an IS operative who said the militants have already sent some 4,000 fighters into Europe under guise of refugees.   Continue reading “Passport Found Next To Paris Suicide Bomber Belongs To Syrian “Political Refugee” Who Entered Greece”
