Congressman McFadden’s Speech
On the Federal Reserve Corporation

Quotations from several speeches made on the Floor of the House of Representatives by the Honorable Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania. Mr. McFadden, due to his having served as Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee for more than 10 years, was the best posted man on these matters in America and was in a position to speak with authority of the vast ramifications of this gigantic private credit monopoly. As Representative of a State which was among the first to declare its freedom from foreign money tyrants it is fitting that Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, be again given the credit for producing a son that was not afraid to hurl defiance in the face of the money-bund. Whereas Mr. McFadden was elected to the high office on both the Democratic and Republican tickets, there can be no accusation of partisanship lodged against him. Because these speeches are set out in full in the Congressional Record, they carry weight that no amount of condemnation on the part of private individuals could hope to carry.   Continue reading “Congressman McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation Remarks in Congress, 1934”

It [the State] has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well disposed, industrious and decent men.

Henry L. Mencken, 1926.

On January 26, 2016, the FBI shot and killed rancher LaVoy Finicum in what appeared to be a deliberate setup. This brought the 25 day stand off between federal agents and militia members protesting for restored property rights, to an end. Controversy surrounds the shooting as it appears that LaVoy may have reached for something around his waistband after appearing to take a bullet; however, there is no sound in the video released by the FBI so no definate conclusions can be made. LaVoy Finicum, along with other militia members are portrayed as terrorists by the main stream media and were treated accordingly by federal law enforcement officers.   Continue reading “COINTELPRO, False Flags and a Patriot Down”

Throughout history, governments have staged attacks on their own people in order to place the blame on their enemies.  These kinds of attacks are known as “false flags”, and they are often used to justify military action.  As I will explain below, it appears that we may have just seen a “false flag” attack in Turkey.  The Turks needed justification for bombarding the Kurds in northern Syria, and right on cue there was a “terror attack” in Ankara.  During the weeks to come, will we see more “false flag” attacks that will be used to justify a full-blown ground invasion of Syria?   Continue reading “False Flags To Be Used To Justify A Massive Ground Invasion Of Syria?”

Lawmakers in places like Arizona have made news recently by placing a tax on solar panels, but in some areas, politicians want to ban solar power altogether. New legislation in Maine and Hawaii seek to limit where solar companies can operate.

In Maine, legislators are looking to prevent owners of solar panels from selling their excess power back to the grid. The proposal was met with resistance from local businesses and residents who were able to gather 4,000 petition signatures, demanding that their right to sell solar energy be protected.   Continue reading “Legislation To Limit The Use Of Solar Power Proposed In Multiple US States”

The rifles were most likely seized from Saudi forces, and it appears to have happened more than once, according to Armament Research Services, an international intelligence consultancy that traces arms.   Continue reading “Canadian rifles may have fallen into Yemen rebel hands, likely via Saudi Arabia”

Once upon a time, the goal of higher education was to prepare kids for life, but in past decades they’ve gotten further and further from that path. Now, in an era of crybabies and safe spaces, one university teaches survival skills and is completely bucking the status quo.

Frostburg State University has a freshman-level interdisciplinary course called Doomsday Preppers and Surviving the Unexpected Emergency, playing off the popularity of the National Geographic Channel’s show of the same name. In the class, Recreation and Parks Management Professor Robert Kauffman teachesdisaster preparedness to help the kids get ready for a variety of scenarios. Kauffman is the author of a paper about “the rescue curve” that discusses the point at which injury, damage or loss can increase as time between an incident and an intervention increases. The class is now in its second semester of preparing students for emergencies, and the professor plans to continue it next year. Here’s a little bit more about the course:   Continue reading “Instead of Providing “Safe Spaces” This University Teaches Survival Skills”

The Battle of Saipan was a turning point in the Allied war against Japan. US Private First Class Thomas Davis earned a Silver Star for risking his life to rescue an injured comrade during the bloody fight – and apparently, he also lost his dog tag.

PANMUNJOM, North Korea (AP) — Tensions have increased significantly along the Demilitarized Zone since North Korea’s recent nuclear test and rocket launch, a North Korean military official told The Associated Press on Monday, adding that while he could not comment on operational details, “the reality is that it is touch and go.”

Though parts of the world’s most fortified border can seem like a tourist trap, drawing throngs of camera-happy visitors on both sides every year, to the military-trained eye the Cold War-style standoff along the 257-kilometer (160-mile) DMZ — established when the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty — is an incident waiting to happen.   Continue reading “Tensions rising on DMZ, North Korean officer tells AP”

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — Jason Dalton lived with his wife and two kids in a small ranch-style house in a rural area of Michigan and shuttled people around the Kalamazoo area for the ride-sharing service Uber.

The 45-year-old former insurance adjustor had no known criminal history before he was arrested Sunday in a series of seemingly random shootings that killed six people, including a father and son shopping at a car dealership and a retired teacher at a restaurant. He’s expected to appear in court Monday on murder charges.   Continue reading “Neighbors say Kalamazoo suspect showed no signs of violence”

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The mother of a man who shot four Mississippi law enforcement officers and was killed in a shootout says authorities refused to let her talk to her son during nearly six hours of negotiations.

Katherine Hudson said she thinks family members could have convinced Charles Lee Lambert, 45, to end the standoff without bloodshed. Lambert had holed up in a house near Iuka in northern Mississippi. Authorities stormed the house early Saturday and Lambert began shooting. James Lee Tartt, 44, an agent in the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, was killed and three other officers were wounded in the shootout that followed.   Continue reading “Mother: Family might have ended standoff without bloodshed”

The financial burden of medical care has increased so much as a result of Obamacare — just as predicted — that hospitals can now clearly see the writing on the wall: Many more people than ever before will be unwilling or unable to pay their medical bills.   Continue reading “Here’s your Obamacare: Hospitals now demanding patients pay up front before receiving treatment”

The California Supreme Court on Thursday ruled unanimously in favor of a fraudulently foreclosed-upon homeowner in a case that should serve as a wake-up call to state and federal prosecutors that mortgage companies continue to use false documents to evict homeowners on a daily basis.

“A homeowner who has been foreclosed on by one with no right to do so has suffered an injurious invasion of his or her legal rights at the foreclosing entity’s hands,” the justices wrote.   Continue reading “Siding With Foreclosure Victim, California Court Exposes Law Enforcement Failure”

A Virginia bill that would keep the names of police officers secret from the media and public is drawing harsh criticism from open records advocates who argue that the names are an important tool in keep watch over whether police departments are hiring potential problem officers with taxpayer money.

Supporters of the bill say that handing over the lists of names would possibly put officers and deputies at risk in the field during a time of what they describe as growing contempt toward law enforcement.   Continue reading “Virginia bill would keep the names of police officers from public”
