For well over a decade, identity thieves, phishers, and other online scammers have created a black market of stolen and aggregated consumer data that they used to break into people’s accounts, steal their money, or impersonate them. In October, dark web researcher Vinny Troia found one such trove sitting exposed and easily accessible on an unsecured server, comprising 4 terabytes of personal information—about 1.2 billion records in all.  Continue reading “1.2 Billion Records Found Exposed Online in a Single Server”

Elizabeth, PA — In the land of the free, there are two sets of justice systems — one for all those connected to that system, and one for everyone else. Time after time, we’ve seen police officers and politicians alike accused of terrible crimes and they escape with little to no jail. As the following case illustrates, police chiefs can betray everything they stand for, steal tens of thousands of dollars in heroin from their own department and face no jail.

The declining health of the millennial generation could have a serious impact on the U.S. health care system, according to experts.

“Millennials are seeing their health decline faster than the previous generation as they age,” a Moody’s Analytics report analyzing Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Index data stated. “Without intervention, millennials could feasibly see mortality rates climb up by more than 40% compared to Gen-Xers at the same age.” (Pew Research defines millennials as Americans born between 1981 and 1996.)  Continue reading “Millennials ‘are seeing their health decline faster’ than Gen X, worrying experts”

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A 16-year-old boy who opened fire at his Southern California high school, killing two classmates and wounding three others before shooting himself in the head, used a “ghost gun” built from parts, the local sheriff said on Thursday.

He died of his wounds the next day.  Continue reading “Teen in California high school shooting rampage used ‘ghost gun’ made from parts”

Taking today off from the broadcast.

I had yesterday’s broadcast all prepared and have been trying to take it easy, but when the piece on the 9^th Article showed up around 11:00, there was no choice in the matter.  I had to read it, separate the propaganda and the deliberate attempts to mislead, and nail it down to the simple absolute law that it is.  I then had to create the narrative for reading the article on air to accomplish the aforementioned.  I knew the task was far from taking it easy, but there was no way I could let the opportunity pass by.  Continue reading “No Word From the Trenches today”

U.S. Attorney General William Barr was in Memphis last Wednesday to announce the launch of a new federal gun control program, Project Guardian. The AG promises to enforce federal gun regulations “with a vengeance.”

As President Trump is facing mostly manufactured charges of committing impeachable offenses, his attorney general is committing actual offenses against the Constitution, namely infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, as protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Continue reading “AG Barr Announces Project Guardian to Prevent Unapproved Gun Purchases”

Lew Rockwell – by Gary D. Barnett

This once great country of America has gone through many changes, and these changes, while implemented by the design of its true rulers, are not understood by the huddled masses that have been taught to accept mediocrity as desired normalcy. The ruling class fully understands that the only way to control people, and to finally control the world, is to stifle individual excellence by creating a society that refuses to think. This has been accomplished through planned conflict, the instilling of fear, the total control of education by the puppet state, by building dependence through public welfare, and by dominating most all positions of power in a myriad of state, corporate, and important intellectual appointments.  Continue reading “The Elite Controllers Fear the Individual and Individual Intelligence”
