Moscow military experts have said Vladimir Putin will not back down amid escalating tensions between the global superpowers, blasting the White House’s “aggressiveness”.

But Kremlin military chief Lt Gen Yevgeny Buzhinsky described the provocative action as “full-scale confrontation”.

The retired general added: “Of course there is a reaction. As far as Russia sees it, as Putin sees it, it is full-scale confrontation on all fronts. If you want a confrontation, you’ll get one.”   Continue reading “PUTIN’S WARNING – Now Russia tells the US ‘if you want a war you will get one EVERYWHERE’”

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Philippine police van rammed into protesters, leaving several bloodied, as an anti-U.S. rally turned violent Wednesday at the American Embassy in Manila. The van’s driver, police officer Franklin Kho, told reporters he did not deliberately hit the protesters but was trying to drive away from them because they were hitting the vehicle with wooden clubs and he feared they would commandeer it and use it to attack other policemen. “They were already trying to seize the vehicle,” Kho told reporters.   Continue reading “Philippine police van rams protesters in front of US Embassy”

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Islamic State group sees its territory shrink to half its original size and its dreams of a caliphate evaporate, the extremist fighters are losing access to the sources of revenue that once gave them their power, prompting them to turn to extortion, kidnapping or foreign donations like their predecessors, the militant group al-Qaida.

The Islamic State group had a unique ability to capitalize on the natural resources of its territory in Iraq and Syria and swiftly implement a system of taxation and governance that allowed it to rule an area that once was the size of Switzerland.   Continue reading “As territory shrinks, IS group looks for new money sources”

NEW YORK (AP) — One of the nation’s most influential missing-child cases is about to be laid out for a jury — again — as a retrial begins in the 1979 disappearance of Etan Patz. Opening statements are set for Wednesday in a case that eluded investigators for decades, racheted up Americans’ consciousness of missing children and now centers on whether a chilling confession was true.

A jury deadlocked last year on the murder and kidnapping charges against Pedro Hernandez, a former convenience store stock clerk in Etan’s Manhattan neighborhood. Prosecutors say Hernandez hid a brutal secret for more than 30 years. His lawyers say he’s mentally ill and falsely confessed to waylaying and killing Etan as he walked to his school bus stop on May 25, 1979.   Continue reading “Retrial set to open in 1979 missing-child case of Etan Patz”

I’d like to suggest the soundtrack for the new America that is emerging.

I’ve covered my thoughts on rule of law, obedience and refusal unto death to not comply. These are the building blocks to create systems that stymie the political control of human beings.

My interest in politics is always a matter of self-defense. Politics is nothing more than a sophisticated way to describe a violence system that uses coercion through threat and force to steal from its geographical inhabitants and regulate every aspect of their lives. It molds society through sheer naked aggression and blood lust; a willingness to kill a subject for violating a seatbelt law or not obeying a badged Praetorian in the pay of the state.   Continue reading ““F#@k You, That’s Why””

One of the least pleasant aspects of survival is not, for most preppers, death or injury. For some reason, we like to think we’re immortals simply because “we prep”. The things preppers avoid talking about are survival skills, and that’s exactly what I want to discuss in this article.

It makes sense in a way… Practicing a skill involves practice, making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. At the same time, there are things much easier to do that give us the illusion of safety: watching youtube videos and reality shows, reading, talking about survival on blogs and forums and, of course, politics.   Continue reading “Critical Survival Skills to Learn for Doomsday”

In a September 2015 interview with the FBI, a former agent who worked on the security details of both former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton complained of a “stark difference” between Rice and Clinton in terms of their adherence to security and diplomatic protocols.

According to newly released documents by the FBI related to its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary, the former agent said that while Rice “observed strict adherence to State Department security and diplomatic protocols,” Clinton “frequently and ‘blatantly’ disregarded them.”    Continue reading “FBI documents: Former agent complained Hillary Clinton flouted protocol while secretary”

If we don’t speak up now, the days when we can walk around with our heads held high without fear of surveillance are numbered. Federal and local law enforcement across the country are adopting sophisticated facial recognition technologies to identify us on the streets and in social media by matching our faces to massive databases.

We knew the threat was looming. But a brand new report from the Georgetown Law Center for Privacy and Technology indicates the problem is far worse than we could’ve imagined.  The researchers compare the use of facial recognition to a perpetual line-up, where everyday, law-abiding citizens are pulled into law enforcement investigations without their consent and, in many cases, without their knowledge.   Continue reading “Memo to the DOJ: Facial Recognition’s Threat to Privacy is Worse Than Anyone Thought”
