Ok …Everybody… please gather around and listen to what I am about to say..Then either shut your mouth, or share this far and wide. If you have ANY faith in me as a leader you will heed what I am about to say. If not..I want nothing to do with you. simple as that.   Continue reading “Here is real word from the Oregon standoff”

Five Thirty Eight – by LEAH LIBRESCO

The takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon appears to be more than just a protest of the impending imprisonment of two ranchers who set fires that spread into public lands. The armed demonstrators are led by Ammon Bundy, whose father, Cliven, has refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the federal Bureau of Land Management to own some public lands or to regulate their use for grazing. But the government is giving the Bundy family a pretty good deal on the grazing rights it refuses to pay for.   Continue reading “The Armed Oregon Ranchers Who Want Free Land Are Already Getting A 93 Percent Discount”

Before I begin my analysis, I’d like to point out that the number the President uses for deaths caused by the use (or misuse) of a firearm includes suicides (much more than half of the total) and lawful self-defense shootings by citizens and police. Should suicide and lawful self-defense be considered “gun violence?” No.   Continue reading “EOs”

Users on Twitter are speculating that Obama’s tears during a press conference on gun control were faked as a way to pander to the emotions of Americans on gun violence.   Continue reading “Obama’s Crying Fuels Speculation It Was Faked”

BATR – by James  Hall

Economists, stock pickers and financial analysts are eager to play the forecast game. Clients of these erudite soothsayers would like you to believe that their study of trends and markets are founded on empirical maxims. What they carefully avoid admitting is that predicting the political climate is even more important than knowing the direction that monitory central banking will follow. 2016 promises to be a pivotal year. Depend upon the overactive drive of a lame duck President to complete his task of ruining the economy before he leaves office.   Continue reading “Future of Corporatism in 2016”

Breitbart – by John Hayward

There would seem to be something ideologically incongruous about honoring the godfather of Chinese communism with a giant golden statue, but the story of the Mao colossus of Zhushigang gets worse with each new detail. The imposing 120-foot statue, made from steel and concrete covered in gold paint, towers over the surrounding trees.

The region where Maozilla sits is currently impoverished, one of the poorest areas in China… making the expense of 3 million yuan (a little under half a million U.S. dollars) on a creepy monument a slap in the face to struggling residents. Some of them reportedly donated to the construction project, which makes the whole affair even more horrifying.   Continue reading “Chinese Region Starved by Mao Honors Him with Giant Golden Statue”

Southern Poverty Law Center

The armed takeover of a federal government building in Oregon comes amid a renewed expansion of the far-right, antigovernment militia movement in the wake of the 2014 standoff between federal agents and heavily armed antigovernment activists in the Nevada desert.

In its annual count of militias, released today, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) identified 276 militia groups – up from 202 in 2014, a 37 percent increase.   Continue reading “Antigovernment Militia Groups Grew by More than One-Third in Last Year”

Daily Sheeple – by Kit Daniels

Americans critical of government could have their Second Amendment rights restricted if psychologists diagnose them with “Oppositional Defiant Disorder” or a similar diagnosis as a result of Obama’s new gun control executive action.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which the American Psychiatric Association uses for psychiatric diagnosis, defines “oppositional defiant disorder” as a “recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures” which typically begins at a young age but can survive into adulthood.   Continue reading “We’re There: Americans Critical Of Government Can Lose Gun Rights Due To Executive Order”

About 42 kilometres from Los Angeles, above the houses nestled in the mountains of Porter Ranch, Calif., a plume of methane is shooting into the sky. The cloud is invisible but it stretches for kilometres, as though a forest fire has been continually burning for months. All of this is emanating from a tiny pipe about 20 centimetres wide, more than a kilometre underground.

“The amount of methane and natural gas that’s coming out of the Aliso Canyon Facility really is probably one of the largest volumes of gas ever recorded from a single leak,” says Tim O’Connor, an oil and gas specialist with the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).    Continue reading “Methane leak in California a ‘major catastrophe’”

As of last night there is still open access to the refuge. There is a lot of press that hang out there during the day. During the press conference yesterday the militia let everyone stroll around the grounds unattended.

There were only about a dozen militia visible. We know that there are some staying in town as well. There appears to be other people coming into to town on the side of the militia.   Continue reading “Malheur: A Reader Sends”

The Daily Caller, Sept 30, 2012

As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as “armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.

Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller about whether Holder himself was armed — and if so, with what sort of weapon.   Continue reading “As college student, Eric Holder participated in ‘armed’ takeover of former Columbia University ROTC office”
