Godlike Productions – by Trained Noticer, 2013

When in the Course of sitting on our fat butts watching the fables of the Ministry of Propaganda on TV, it becomes necessary for us, the dumb masses, to embrace the political bands which have connected us with our government, and to accept the government as the powers of the earth, deny the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles us…, uh, we realize that… uh we, um, well… we don’t give a crap. Just send us our checks, our food stamp cards, and our TV Guides.  Continue reading “Declaration of Dependence”

Chuck Hughey braves security lines at Pittsburgh International Airport at least once a week. Not to catch a flight, but to get an ice cream cone or cruise a few of the concourses. Is he nuts? Not at all, he will tell you, just a doting grandfather. He and 3-year-old Cleo spend quality time there, riding the trams between terminals and gliding along the moving walkways.  Continue reading “Airports Open Up to Terminal Tourists Who Just Want to Hang Out”

Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) called on Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) to leave the House Republican Conference after he announced Thursday he is leaving the GOP.

“Amash left the @freedomcaucus now he’s leaving the @GOP. The @HouseGOP never left @justinamash – we simply ran out of space for his ego.

This is Europa – by Mike Walsh

What do Macron, May, and Merkel have in common? They have no children, in fact, many European political leaders who make decisions affecting Europe’s future are childless. The same is true of Holland’s Mark Rutte, Italy’s Paolo Gentiloni Switzerland’s Simonetta Sommaruga, Sweden’s Stefan Löfven, Luxembourg’s Xavier Bettel, Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon.

These globalists are a sinister reflection of an ideological Europe and its lack of will to reproduce and place the family at the center, literally as well as culturally. This disturbing trend threatens to make ours the last viable ethno-European generation.  Continue reading “Globalists Conspire To Destroy Ethnic Europe”

Strategic Culture – by Philip Giraldi

Over the past two years, the White House has initiated trade disputes, insulted allies and enemies alike, and withdrawn from or refused to ratify multinational treaties and agreements. It has also expanded the reach of its unilaterally imposed rules, forcing other nations to abide by its demands or face economic sanctions. While the stated Trump Administration intention has been to enter into new arrangements more favorable to the United States, the end result has been quite different, creating a broad consensus within the international community that Washington is unstable, not a reliable partner and cannot be trusted. This sentiment has, in turn, resulted in conversations among foreign governments regarding how to circumvent the American banking system, which is the primary offensive weapon apart from dropping bombs that Washington has to force compliance with its dictates.  Continue reading “Goodbye Dollar, It Was Nice Knowing You!”

Authorities have confirmed that a suspicious package discovered Monday at a Facebook mailing facility in Menlo Park, California, has tested negative for “any potentially dangerous substance,” a Facebook spokesperson said Tuesday.

Emergency hazmat crews spent several hours at the mailing facility after a machine that can detect dangerous substances alerted employees Monday morning that a package might contain the chemical nerve agent sarin, the Menlo Park Fire District said.  Continue reading “Suspicious Package at Facebook Mailing Facility Tests Negative”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hundreds of federal police blocked highways in and around Mexico’s capital Wednesday in open revolt against plans to absorb the officers into the newly formed National Guard, a move that the police fear could upend their jobs.

The protests came as the government officially began deploying the National Guard to try to seal the country’s porous southern border and control immigration and crime. The demonstrations threatened to complicate the formation of the new force, which President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has bet Mexico’s future security on.  Continue reading “Mexican police revolt against plans to join National Guard”

The Bill of Rights was created to protect citizens from potential abuses committed by their government. The Second Amendment was created to provide a means for those citizens to defend themselves.

Plenty of movies and novels have played out the grandiose scenario in which some form of martial law is declared in the U.S. by the government or an invading force (like in the 80s cult classic Red Dawn) often resulting in a post-apocalyptic or dystopian society, so we don’t have to go there. Suffice to say, this is a very specific and fairly unlikely scenario (but not impossible).  Continue reading “The Battle of Athens”

Fort Russ – by Dennis Etler

According to a special report of the Council on Foreign Relations, US administrations, from Clinton to Obama have misread China’s strategic intentions on several fronts; and made optimistic statements about US-China relations.

The CFR is the preeminent US foreign policy think tank, so what they publish can be taken as the consensus opinion of the American political elite, be they Democrat or Republican, conservative or progressive.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused China and Europe of playing a “big currency manipulation game.” He said the United States should match that effort, a move that directly contradicts official U.S. policy not to manipulate the dollar’s value to gain trade advantages.

In a tweet, the president said if America doesn’t act, the country will continue “being the dummies who sit back and politely watch as other countries continue to play their games — as they have for so many years.”  Continue reading “Trump says US should start manipulating the dollar”
