The George H. W. Bush and two escorts have just transited the Strait of Hormuz and are in position in the Persian Gulf.  The U.S. Navy’s newest aircraft carrier is now “ready for tasking,” as Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby put it.

What tasking does President Obama have in mind? Senator John McCain, among others, has urged him to bomb Sunni militants, who during recent days stormed out of the north of Iraq, captured cities with almost no fighting, and after the stunning collapse of the army now threaten Baghdad.  The government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had in May asked for American airstrikes on the forces fighting under the banner of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.  ISIS or ISIL, as the al-Qaeda splinter group is variously known, has achieved remarkable success because it draws strength from Sunnis disenfranchised by the Maliki government.   Continue reading “If Anyone Bombs Iraq, Shouldn’t It Be China”

Lew Rockwell – by Jack D. Douglas

The sudden implosion of the vast Iraqi Army of the Baghdad Puppet Regime constructed by the U.S. is an excellent early warning of the fates of the other U.S. puppet states in the Muslim World—Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, U.A.E., and lesser ones. As always, there are many differences among these puppet states, including degrees of being puppets of the U.S., but the general picture of them and their situation now are roughly similar.   Continue reading “The U.S. Puppet Regimes In The Muslim World Are All Paper Tiger Tyrannies Hated By Their Oppressed People”

Lew Rockwell – by Walter E. Block

Just as an important difference in everyday life is that between a bathroom and a kitchen, so, too, does a crucial distinction in political economic philosophy exist between government and private contractual arrangements. But here is where the analogy breaks down. There are other, even more important insights to be garnered in ordinary living than that between these two rooms (e.g., don’t eat poison, feed yourself, take care of babies); there is simply no more important delineation in libertarian theory than that which exists between coercion (the government) and voluntary cooperation (the market).   Continue reading “You Didn’t Consent to be the State’s Victim”

Paying for a coffee or lunch by simply scanning your palm might sound like science fiction. However, an engineering student at Lund University in Sweden has made it happen – making his the first company in the world to install the vein scanning technique in stores and coffee shops.

Fredrik Leifland got the idea for his start-up two years ago when he was standing in line at the supermarket. Growing impatient, he knew there had to be an easier and quicker way than using credit cards, and together with a group of classmates at Lund University he soon discovered biometric solutions. While vein scanning technology already existed, there was no system for actually using it as a form of payment. Leifland said:   Continue reading “Vein scanning : Pay with your hand”

David Renner says he is facing a $200 fine for flying a Betsy Ross flag outside his townhouse in Littleton, Colo.

Renner tells Fox31 in Denver that he was issued the fine by his homeowner’s association for flying the flag last week ahead of Flag Day, June 14.

“Do they really think I’m bringing down property values? It’s not like I’m flying an Oakland Raiders flag,” he told the station.   Continue reading “Penalty for flying the ‘Betsy Ross’ flag sets off star-spangled fight”

America Is BrokeThe Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

What would you say if I told you that Americans are nearly 60 TRILLION dollars in debt?  Well, it is true.  When you total up all forms of debt including government debt, business debt, mortgage debt and consumer debt, we are 59.4 trillion dollars in debt.  That is an amount of money so large that it is difficult to describe it with words.  For example, if you were alive when Jesus Christ was born and you had spent 80 million dollars every single day since then, you still would not have spent 59.4 trillion dollars by now.  And most of this debt has been accumulated in recent decades.  If you go back 40 years ago, total debt in America was sitting at about 2.2 trillion dollars.  Somehow over the past four decades we have allowed the total amount of debt in the United States to get approximately 27 times larger.  This is utter insanity, and anyone that thinks this is sustainable is completely deluded.  We are living in the greatest debt bubble of all time, and there is no way that this is going to end well.  Just check out the chart…   Continue reading “The United States Of Debt: Total Debt In America Hits A New Record High Of Nearly 60 Trillion Dollars”

Retired US professor James Henry Fetzer says Washington would lose to Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine if the Obama administration fails to negotiate with Russia.

“The United States has to be more responsible in attempting to negotiate with Russia about Ukraine,” he told Press TV on Sunday. Continue reading “US would lose to Russia over Ukraine”

GeoEngineering Watch – by Dane Wigington

I have bit my tongue for a long while on the ever increasing flow of incorrect information and half truths coming from “Natural News”. Creating conflict in the activist communities is exactly what the power structure wants, the last thing I want to do is to step into that trap. This being said, there are times when such conflict is unavoidable. Though “Natural News” does put out valid information, when “independent news sources” like Natural News also puts out what can only be described as disinformation, one is left with no choice but to call “FOUL”.   Continue reading “Is Natural News Trying to Hide Global Climate Engineering?”

Have you ever met an Iraqi? I have met many of them in the EU, especially Iraqi Christians that knew the day Bush and Blair unleashed their lies in March 2003 all Hell was going to break loose in Iraq as sectarian violence of religion against religion. Most of the Iraqi Christians fled into Jordan or Syria and sought political asylum in Europe. I have met many that went from $50,000 to $100,000 per year to less than $1,000 per month working 10-12 hours a day and all night in the small Stop & Go stores all over Europe.   Continue reading “The Silent Shock & Awe Levied On Iraq”

The Victory Report

In this program, Paul Craig Roberts discusses the neo-con’s war agenda and how the Ukraine fits into the Wolfowitz doctrine. We talk about the violent Coup d’tat in Kiev and who has been the driving factor behind the illegitimate takeover of the country. Paul also discusses the inconsistencies in the various political factions that have been helping each other in order to take control of the Ukraine. Washington’s willingness to work with anyone, including criminals, in order to achieve their goals is no big surprise but is speaks volumes about their ambitions to remain in power.   Continue reading “The Geopolitical Chess Game (Paul Craig Roberts)”

New York Times – by Robert Pear

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is contacting hundreds of thousands of people with subsidized health insurance to resolve questions about their eligibility, as consumer advocates express concern that many will be required to repay some or all of the subsidies.

Of the eight million people who signed up for private health plans through insurance exchanges under the new health care law, two million reported personal information that differed from data in government records, according to federal officials and Serco, the company hired to resolve such inconsistencies.   Continue reading “Thousands to Be Questioned on Eligibility for Health Insurance Subsidies”

Fight against gun controlSHTF Survival Prepper

The New World Order’s push for gun control is obvious and well known, and it is becoming more and more apparent that they will do whatever it takes to achieve it. The increasing number of false flags, trying to rile up the people that favor gun control is definitely on the rise.

The number of school shootings since Obama took office are listed below (pulled from Wikipedia):   Continue reading “Gun Control – The NWO Is Killing Its Way To Achieve It”

COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, ranks third in disease death rates, behind only heart disease and cancer. COPD creates constricted airways in one’s lungs or renders small lung sacks within inelastic and unable to fully accommodate breathing cycles, thus the lungs are obstructed. The pharmaceuticals prescribed for treating symptoms often have side effects that cause more problems, so maybe it’s time to shed light on alternative solutions – marijuana.   Continue reading “Man Uses Cannabis Oil to Successfully Treat Another Incurable Disease – COPD”
