The US government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country’s citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern Universities has concluded.

The report, entitled Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens, used extensive policy data collected from between the years of 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the US political system.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to review a ruling against Exxon Mobil Corp that ordered the company to pay $105 million in damages for polluting New York City’s groundwater with a toxic gasoline additive.

The decision not to hear the case leaves intact a July 2 U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that upheld the judgment.   Continue reading “Top court declines Exxon’s appeal in water pollution case”

April 15 was the deadline for residents of New York to register “assault weapons” that they owned before the passage of the state’s SAFE Act gun control law. But on the day of the deadline, pro-Second Amendment advocates, in an act of protest, gathered in downtown Buffalo to shred gun registration forms.

“They have been shredding the Constitution for years,” Russ Thompson, the leader of the April 15 rally was quoted by the Buffalo News as saying.     Continue reading “New Yorkers Protest “Assault Weapon” Registration Law”

SPLC Launches Hysterical Attack on Critics of UN Agenda 21The New American – by Alex Newman

The self-styled “civil rights” organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21. Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as “conspiracy” and “theory,” or with the UN plan itself, the SPLC also lashed out at “activist groups,” “mainstream politicians,” voters, “extremists,” and others who question or oppose the UN agenda for what it calls “sustainable development” in the United States.   Continue reading “SPLC Launches Hysterical Attack on Critics of UN Agenda 21”

American oligarchyMilitia News – by Steve Watson

A recent scientific study by Princeton and Northwestern universities, which has gone somewhat under reported in the mainstream media, concludes that the US is now a fully fledged oligarchy.

The paper, entitled Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups and Average Citizens, notes that America is no longer even a Democracy, which begs the question, how far removed is the country from being the Republic envisioned and painstakingly established by Benjamin Franklin and the founding fathers.   Continue reading “US Political System Has Been Almost Completely Usurped”

“Cycle ride from Tomichi Creek off of Highway 50 near Gunnison, CO up to the Continental Divide, where we found this war memorial tucked away in seclusion. You won’t find it on any maps. An old local at the Tomichi Trading Post said the Park Rangers keep it off maps…the story is that a Vietnam Vet somehow used a chopper to sneak the pieces in. If anyone knows the true story, I’d love to hear it.”   Continue reading “‘Mysterious’ Vietnam War Memorial”

Chris ChristieThis Can’t Be Happening – by Linn Washington, Jr.

The spirited protest outside the front door of the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton where nearly 150 demonstrators bashed NJ Governor Chris Christie for scandalous obstruction unrelated to Christie’s headline dominating Bridgegate debacle featured the youngest offspring of two of the most legendary stars in reggae music history.

That 4/20 demonstration against Christie’s restrictive implementation of NJ’s medical marijuana law plus Christie’s opposition to legalization or even decriminalization of marijuana included remarks from Makeda Marley, the youngest daughter of reggae legend Bob Marley and Jawara McIntosh, the youngest son of reggae luminary Peter Tosh.   Continue reading “NJ Gov Christie Castigated for Roadblocks on Cannabis”

What happened, and may continue happening at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada is resonating across the country, much to the panicked chagrin of the Mainstream Media.  Here’s a great clip of Assemblywoman Michele Fiore not backing down to the openly snide and derisive questioning of MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. (I still say Chris Hayes is actually a more feminine version of Rachel Maddow.   Continue reading “Nevada Assemblywoman Shreds MSNBC Host Over Bundy Ranch Conflict”
