“I just want to tell you that in these times, we have to unify. We have to come together and send one very clear, strong unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the Untied States of America,” said Trump, speaking at a White House event to address the opioid crisis.    Continue reading “Trump Vows To “Get To The Bottom” Of “Egregious” Pipe Bombs”

NEW ORLEANS — An oil spill that has been quietly leaking millions of barrels into the Gulf of Mexico has gone unplugged for so long that it now verges on becoming one of the worst offshore disasters in U.S. history.

Between 300 and 700 barrels of oil per day have been spewing from a site 12 miles off the Louisiana coast since 2004, when an oil-production platform owned by Taylor Energy sank in a mudslide triggered by Hurricane Ivan. Many of the wells have not been capped, and federal officials estimate that the spill could continue through this century. With no fix in sight, the Taylor offshore spill is threatening to overtake BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster as the largest ever.

In what must be one of the most rapidly written, edited, and published op-eds in New York Times history, Alexander Soros, son of billionaire globalist puppet-master George Soros, has penned a blame-scaping piece pointing directly at president Trump’s “politics of demonizing opponents” as responsible for the bombing of his father, The Clintons, The Obamas, and well anyone else who has received a suspicious package in the last few days and is not in any way right-leaning.   Continue reading “In NYT Op-Ed, George Soros’ Son Blames Trump And “Demonization Of Opponents” For Bomb Packages”

LOS ANGELES – Sound has long been used as a weapon. The Germans put sirens on Stuka dive bombers in World War II to amplify the terror to unlucky souls below. Jamaican maroons – fugitive slaves – used the abeng horn to unnerve British colonial soldiers.

The U.S. Army blasted rock music to torment former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. And according to the Bible, Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho by having his priests blow rams’ horns.   Continue reading “Flashback: Police fire up sound cannon to disperse mobs”

Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi is a Saudi journalist and author who went missing on October 2, 2018.

On October 19, Saudi Arabia confirmed the death of Khashoggi, claiming that he died after a “fight” took place inside of the Turkish consulate. Though the Saudis have set up a commission to investigate Khashoggi’s death, it is, according to many American publications, a far cry from admitting what the extensive evidence points to: that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was complicit in the torture and murder of the journalist.  Continue reading “Jamal Khashoggi’s Family: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know”

An employee of a leading Washington DC think tank has reportedly taken credit for the resent purge of alternative media by Facebook and Twitter, claiming it to be necessary to fight against ‘fake news’ from Russia and China.

In the latest act of apparent censorship of political speech online, US-based tech giants this month shut down hundreds of user accounts. Some belonged to well-established alternative media outlets with hundreds of thousands of followers, like The Free Thought Project or The Anti Media. A senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund, a leading think tank advocating US global supremacy, seems to have at least partially taken credit for this.  Continue reading “Purge of alt-media by FB is ‘us pushing back, just a beginning’ – censorship insider”

Roads Less Traveled – by Jonathan

We’re getting close to the end now. Can you feel it?  I do.  It’s in the news, on the streets, and in your face every day. You can’t tune it out anymore, even if you wanted to.

Where once there was civil debate in the court of public opinion, we now have censorship, monopoly, screaming, insults, demonization, and, finally, the use of force to silence the opposition. There is no turning back now. The political extremes are going to war, and you will be dragged into it even if you consider yourself apolitical.  Continue reading “The United States of Empire”
