South Dakota – The Santee Sioux tribe of South Dakota has recently announced that they will be opening the country’s first “Marijuana Resort,” which representatives of the tribe say will be an “adult playground.” Earlier this year, the Department Of Justice issued a statement saying that they would no longer prosecute Native American Tribes for the possession and sale of marijuana.

Denying that yearly meeting among the most select group of power brokers has little significance, illustrates the success of managed news.  Condemning any critical reporting to the depths of conspiracy oblivion has been the public relations coup of the last half-century.  Now that the first fifty years of non-existence denial has worn thin, the next ad campaign has a spin of benign   benevolence.  Hey, as O’Reilly would say, any “right thinking” person couldn’t really believe that this social society could be up to no good?  Ask yourself the simple question.  How many of your friends or family think you may be a little deranged for even bring up the topic?  If the proof is in the pudding, don’t ask the waiters.  This treat is a dessert that won’t add pounds to your waste, but may well cause your future to be wasted.    Continue reading “Bilderberg Propaganda Rules the Planet”

Off the Grid News – by Daniel Jennings

Off-the-grid newcomers have won a major victory in Costilla County, Colorado, as county commissioners shelved a plan to require water, septic tanks and electricity for building permits.

Proposed changes to the county’s zoning regulations would have effectively prevented many residents from building homes on off-grid properties they purchased in Costilla County, Colorado Public Radio and Off The Grid News previously reported. Dozens of off-grid residents may have been forced out of the county, simply because they couldn’t meet the requirements. Some, for example, are using composting toilets.   Continue reading “Victory: County Backs Down, Won’t Chase Off-Gridders From Land”

One of the Clintons’ oldest and most trusted legal advisers has urged Hillary to hire a criminal defense attorney to represent her in case she’s indicted for mishandling classified documents on her private e-mail server and for lying under oath.

The adviser, who has been a Clinton confidant for more than 30 years, laid out his concerns about Hillary’s legal exposure in a wide-ranging interview.

“This e-mail thing is spiraling out of control,” he said. “To paraphrase John Dean of Watergate fame, it’s a cancer on her candidacy.   Continue reading “Hillary Clinton’s legal adviser warns her — Time to lawyer up”

United Kingdom — Sarah Sands, a single mother of five from East London, has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for stabbing a convicted paedophile to death.

The deadliest mass killing in the state’s history had taken place a few miles away and to the staff and customers of the Roseburg Gun Shop it was clear they faced a grave threat – from Barack Obama.

Authorities had just discovered a cache of 13 weapons possessed by the shooter, Chris Harper Mercer, but the man they feared was thousands of miles away in the White House, plotting, as they saw it, to confiscate their weapons and leave them defenseless.    Continue reading “‘We can’t keep the stuff on our shelves’: Gun store owner describes rush on guns after Umpqua shooting”

The father of a 26-year-old gunman who killed nine people and then himself in a shooting rampage at a community college in Roseburg, Ore., said on Saturday that the massacre would not have happened if his son had not been allowed to purchase more than a dozen guns.

He said he had no idea that his son owned any firearms, adding, “How was he able to compile that kind of arsenal?”   Continue reading “Oregon Gunman’s Father Dismayed by Lack of Gun Legislation”

Pretend you’re the Regime.

Like Godzilla grabbing high-voltage lines, the Regime needs energy to grow. That means cash. Money for payoffs and pork.

You’ve got 3 sources for this cash: (i) Taxes, (ii) Chinese loans, and (iii) Printing. But lately, taxes are dwindling, since GDP is shrinking and there’s less to tax.   Continue reading “Why They Grab Your Guns (China/Newtown)”
