The History of the Future – by Dr. Robert Owens

When faced with the highest levels of unemployment in American History why does the government trumpet a falling unemployment rate?  In the face of overwhelming evidence of ineptness at best in Benghazi why do our hacks and their flacks insult us with answers like, “Dude this was two years ago!”  With the obvious politicization of the IRS why does the president tell us there isn’t even a smidgen of corruption in the IRS while professional bureaucrats who really run this country take the 5^th, stonewall, and lie?   Continue reading “Why Do They Lie to Us?”

The Illuminati subverts our youth to herald the widespread use of drugs, creates rock music to defy authority and then kills our icons to destabilize society and to dissipate the Vietnam generation of kids.

I want to start out by welcoming all you bee experts who think it is not the neonicotinoids, or that it is not so simple, to make your case in the comments. There is a great deal of controversy over what is causing bees to die off. That controversy even impinges on how we describe the thing we are talking about. Notice that I’ve not used the term “colony collapse disorder” because that is a term that may have been misused, or at least, that people who know stuff have noted has been used incorrectly thus mucking up the discussion.   Continue reading “What is killing the bees? It’s the neonicotinoids, for sure.”

How did Banks get “Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Jail” and How Soon Will they be Too Big to Tax? Hint – They Started 3000 Years Ago as Monylenders in the Temples… and they arevery patient.

The secret was an overwhelmingly convincing demonstration 400 years ago in Holland that showed how greed among the middle classes could be controlled through specific forms of financial manipulation over and above predatory lending and other practices the demonstrators – money lenders – had already perfected over eons.​    Continue reading “How did Banks get “Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Jail” and How Soon Will they be Too Big to Tax?

He’s a 42-year-old freshman senator, but when asked by Jonathan Karl on “This Week” if he’s ready to be president, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida answered without hesitation.

“I do … but I think that’s true for multiple other people that would want to run … I mean, I’ll be 43 this month, but the other thing that perhaps people don’t realize, I’ve served now in public office for the better part of 14 years,” said Rubio. “Most importantly, I think a president has to have a clear vision of where the country needs to go and clear ideas about how to get it there and I think we’re very blessed in our party to have a number of people that fit that criteria.”    Continue reading “Sen. Marco Rubio: Yes, I’m Ready to be President”

This is the least shocking story of the day. Boehner doesn’t have the balls to have the House arrest Lois Lerner for contempt and Eric Holder will never do it. That leaves the contempt vote as a toothless show vote to placate the base. Boehner can go back to working on his tan and golf game now.

The Department of Defense awarded a contract on Wednesday to a Connecticut company that will build a fleet of helicopters to replace the Marine One fleet that ferries U.S. presidents short distances.

The contract, given to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, will cost an initial $1,244,677,064 ‘for the engineering and manufacturing development phase of the Presidential Helicopter Replacement program.’ For that price the U.S. Navy will get six test aircraft and all the necessary research & development.    Continue reading “Obama administration to spend $20 BILLION on helicopter program to replace his private fleet of 23 choppers – but they won’t be ready until 2022”

Imagine you’re on a nice, long train ride in the United States. You close your eyes for a quick nap and wake up in… China? Yup. That could happen if China goes through with a proposed high-speed railway linking it to the U.S.

The project, nicknamed the “China-Russia-Canada-America” line, would be over 8,000 miles long and was first reported in China’s state-run Beijing Times newspaper. The paper interviewed a railway expert from the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

The most significant geopolitical event of the day is the east Ukraine independence referendum taking place in various cities across the region, less than two months after the Crimean case study which saw the region split away from Ukraine and join Russia, despite the fervent warnings by Kiev and the west that the result of the “rigged election” would not be accepted by anyone. As it turned out then, it only needed to be accepted by Russia which promptly took over the Black Sea territory.   Continue reading “East Ukraine Votes For Independence: Turnout Reported “Off The Charts””

I’m sure you’ve heard about PRISM, the NSA’s surveillance program which enlisted the cooperation of tech giants like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft (and thereby Skype). That program involved companies voluntarily granting the U.S. government backdoor access to user communications and data. This was a scandal, and of course the companies involved were not about to reveal the technical methods used to grant that access. In the case of Microsoft, we have specific documents from the Snowden leaks which show that Microsoft helped the NSA by developing a way to break their own encryption, thereby allowing real time monitoring of Skype audio and video. If you think that’s creepy, wait till you hear what they are trying to do next.   Continue reading “FBI Drafts Law to Require Websites to Grant Backdoor Access to Government Agencies”

It is here in the forest that you leave behind, once and for all, Ukraine’s cosmopolitan present and take a step back into its violent past—as well as glimpse what could become its bloody future. It is here, locals say, where Ukraine’s fate could be decided once again.
