BAGHDAD (AP) — Backed by allied Shiite, Sunni and Iranian fighters, Iraqi security forces launched a large-scale military operation Monday to recapture Saddam Hussein’s hometown from the Islamic State extremist group, a major step in a campaign to reclaim territory in northern Iraq controlled by the militants.

But hours into the operation, a key test for the embattled Iraqi army, the military said it still hadn’t entered the city of Tikrit, indicating a long battle lies ahead. State-run Al-Iraqiya television said that forces were attacking Tikrit from different directions, backed by artillery and airstrikes by Iraqi fighter jets. It said the militants were dislodged from some areas outside the city. Several hours into the operation, it gave no additional details.   Continue reading “Iraq launches operation to retake Tikrit from Islamic State”

Michael Youlen gained his police powers using a little-known provision of state law that allows private citizens to petition the courts for the authority to carry a gun, display a badge and make arrests. The number of “special conservators of the peace” — or SCOPs, as they are known — has doubled in Virginia over the past decade to roughly 750, according to state records.

Youlen said he left to start a private investigator service and then became a SCOP after reading about a housing community in Stafford County called Aquia Harbour that had its own private police force.   Continue reading “Private police forces are growing under DHS”

A potentially deadly bacteria has been accidentally released from a high-security research laboratory leading to serious safety fears.

The Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria was found in animals at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana, which is just 35 miles north of New Orleans.

The bacteria, primarily found in south-east Asia, can spread to animals and humans through direct contact with contaminated soil and water.    Continue reading “Safety fears after potentially deadly bacteria is accidentally released from high-security Louisiana research lab”

The Hebrew word Shemitah means to drop. In ancient Sumer and Babylon debts were periodically cancelled by the King. The reasoning was that the King needed an army to defend his kingdom. Unarmed debt slaves were of no use in battle.

The Book of Jeremiah was written long after the period which describes the Babylonian Captivity. The writer concluded one of the lessons learned was that they should have had Debt Cancellation back in Judah. You can read about Debt Cancellation in the Old Testament. They called it the Jubilee but it was something they never actually practiced. According to Dr Israel Finkelstein, the author of the Bible Unearthed, there never was a unified kingdom of Israel and Judah. There never was a Temple of Solomon. And there were only 1,600 people in Jerusalem at the time of David. The Jubilee and the Temple of Solomon existed only in the imagination of the Bible writers.   Continue reading “Shemitah 2015 Demystified: Will The Economy Drop Like A Rock In September”

Google is looking at rolling out yet another revision to their search engine algorithm by curtailing your results to sites it considers to be the most “trustworthiness.”

New Scientist Explains:

Google’s search engine currently uses the number of incoming links to a web page as a proxy for quality, determining where it appears in search results. So pages that many other sites link to are ranked higher. This system has brought us the search engine as we know it today, but the downside is that websites full of misinformation can rise up the rankings, if enough people link to them.   Continue reading “Google Modifying Algorithm in Attempt to Become the Internet Ministry of Truth”

As if the world isn’t strange enough already privatized armies, mercs, and assassins are now commonplace. It’s the way the elites do business. It’s much like a game of chess really, just a much more expensive and deadly version.

One person makes a move, the other one counters. It’s the nature of the game. It’s how the elites play chess now, in realtime, with human players, pawns; their private mercenaries per ce. The world is their battlefield.   Continue reading “Become a private cop — little training needed; get a real badge and even a gun”

The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project array is nearly ready to go partially online in Nevada. The $737 Million publicly Department Of Energy funded project is intended to produce 110 MW of energy. There’s just one problem.

130 birds were literally set on fire in mid flight during a recent test run in the span of 2 hours. This is because the array redirects solar energy to a point 1200 feet above ground, right in the flightpath of birds.   Continue reading “Nevada Solar Farm Fries 130 Birds In 2 Hour Test”

Washington has been one of the target states for Bloomberg and his gun control efforts. Using strategies similar to Obama’s Organizing For America, combined with a multi million dollar public relations push, they were able to successfully pass a ballot initiative that would mandate background checks for private firearm transactions (though, by a considerably smaller margin than their initial polling).

So who are the folks working behind the scenes to make this happen? You probably won’t be surprised that many of them are from out of state, shipped in to “organize”.   Continue reading “Meet Bloomberg’s Out-Of-State Operatives In Washington”

SHTF Blog has a really good piece up on building a squirrel gun for SHTF scenarios. I don’t want to detract from it because it’s solid and you should read the whole thing, but I do want to offer a note of caution. (I’m certain that the author is aware of everything I’m about to say. Again, I’m not detracting.) I’m a longtime squirrel hunter, and like everyone else, I see them everywhere here in the city and have thought on more than one occasion that if the SHTF I could bag a few for the family.   Continue reading “Planning to Eat Squirrel when TSHTF? Think Again!”
