The seemingly futile plight of Western Civilization can best be explained that the inhabitants of European heritage are vastly unaware of their own history and have adopted an apathetic attitude to their own survival self-interest. The horrors of the last century go unnoticed as the offsprings  of the baby boom generation continue to experience life in a virtual world. The inadequacy of a government school education is evident, when the MTV culture is stripped away and the core foundations of deficient understanding are exposed. The rapid spread of a global police state relies upon the suppression of truth and factual reality.   Continue reading “Alternative Media Future and Risk”

Town of Scituate, Massachusetts

The Fire Chief/Emergency Management Director, with support of the Chief of Police, has made the determination that power will be shut off to selected streets along low-lying, flood-prone areas as a precautionary measure. This decision was based in part on the fires in December  2010 which were caused by an inability to shut power off after a house fire had started and an arcing wire jumped to an adjacent home (see photo below). Two homes were lost as result. The situation created by the live electrical lines in the house posed a grave threat to the firefighters who battled the blaze in chest-high water.   Continue reading “Power Shut Off for Selected Coastal Streets Effective 10:00 P.M. 1/26/15”

Democratic members of Congress apparently aren’t going to be satisfied until American citizens are completely and utterly defenseless.

Representative Mike Honda (D-CA) has introduced a bill for consideration of the new Congress which would prohibit the ownership of certain types of body armor for civilians.

H.R. 378 would make it a crime to own Type III body armor which would be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Yeah, 10 years in prison.   Continue reading “Federal Bill Would Make Owning Body Armor a Crime Punishable by 10 Years in Prison”

After a victory in Washington State with I594, gun control groups are now setting their sights on Oregon with for a similar bill.

Many people around the country have seen just how poorly written I594 was, and how no one in the state seems to interpret the law in the same way.  There is so much confusion here in the state that dealers refuse to do transfers because they are not sure how to proceed in certain situations   Continue reading “Gun Control Group Sets Sights On Oregon After Washington State Win”

In the storm debris littering a Washington State shoreline, Bonnie Wood saw something grisly: the mangled bodies of dozens of scraggly young seabirds.

Walking half a mile along the beach at Twin Harbors State Park on Wednesday, Wood spotted more than 130 carcasses of juvenile Cassin’s auklets—the blue-footed, palm-size victims of what is becoming one of the largest mass die-offs of seabirds ever recorded.

“It was so distressing,” recalled Wood, a volunteer who patrols Pacific Northwest beaches looking for dead or stranded birds. “They were just everywhere. Every ten yards we’d find another ten bodies of these sweet little things.”   Continue reading “Mass Death of Seabirds in Western U.S. Is ‘Unprecedented’”

Patriot or Traitor

Sam A. Lindsay is a treasonous United States District Judge for the Northern District of Texas, with chambers in Dallas, Texas.

Who is Judge Samuel Lindsay? That was the question we recently asked when we read the New York Times article on Barrett Brown’s criminal case that indicated that Brown cannot say anything about his own case that is not in the public record, per a new court order specific to Brown and his attorneys. A “gag order” of this sort caused us to believe that Brown’s right to speak out about his case might be violated and possibly other rights as well, and so we decided to look at the judge who will be overseeing the trial and has made this and other pre-trial rulings. (Remember, Brown hasn’t been convicted of anything yet and despite being held in pre-trial custody still has 1st Amendment rights.)   Continue reading “Sam A. Lindsay is a traitor.”

Critical Thinking

All of us, alive today, are both blighted and blessed. Never before, in human history, have we faced such threats (WWIII, global economic, environmental and societal collapse etc.) but never before have we had access to almost limitless information and analysis (both good and bad) and the ability to communicate as a global family of human beings.

We aren’t “consumers”, defined by ideology, race, ethnicity or culture but genetically related human beings and we are presented with a unique opportunity to transform humanity and the planet.   Continue reading “The time for Critical Thinking is now!”

Now, I dare anyone to give me an example of one government entity that is competent.

The Daily Sheeple – by Lily Dane

By now, most of us have learned not to expect too much from the Internal Rip-off Service IRS. The agency is certainly not known for its efficiency or accuracy, and has shown us time and again what kind of bewildering incompetence it is capable of.

But sometimes even the most dysfunctional government agencies do things that are so perplexing that one is left scratching their head and wondering…how is this happening?   Continue reading “94-Year-Old WWII Vet Insists He’s Alive, but the IRS Isn’t Having It”

There aren’t any New Yorkers left who lived through the Great Blizzard of 1888, and maybe that’s a good thing: They’d never shut up about it, especially on a day like today, with an epic snowstorm called ‘Juno’ about to land in the city.

More than 125 years later, the blizzard remains among the most severe the New York area has experienced, producing as much as 60 inches of snowfall in some places and towering snowdrifts of up to 40 feet. With the railroad and roads shut down for days, thousands of New Yorkers were housebound, and hundreds died.   Continue reading “Forget Juno, Look at These Wild Images of the Blizzard of 1888”

KEY WEST, Fla., Jan. 25 (UPI) — Nearly 140,000 Floridians have signed a petition against a proposal to let a British company release genetically modified mosquitoes in their state.

The company, Oxitec, is hoping to release male mosquitoes that have been modified to produce offspring that won’t “survive to adulthood.” The genetically modified mosquitoes will instinctually seek out wild female mosquitoes, and their producing offspring that won’t survive will lower the total population. They want to do this in an effort to fight the extremely painful and often lethal dengue virus, which is spread by mosquitoes.   Continue reading “Nearly 140,000 Floridians have spoken out against genetically modified mosquito proposal”
