From the Puff Ho: U.S. Warns China Not To Attempt Crimea-Style Action In Asia
WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) – China should not doubt the U.S. commitment to defend its Asian allies and the prospect of economic retaliation should also discourage Beijing from using force to pursue territorial claims in Asia in the way Russia has in Crimea, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

In what many advocates of alternative or ‘black markets’ had been hoping for, the legalization of marijuana for recreational use has enabled ‘off-the-grid’ growers and sellers to expand their marketplace in Colorado.
Although many campaigns to legalize marijuana use the slogan “control and tax”, grass-roots marijuana markets have long scoffed at that idea. While acknowledging that it is vital to decriminalize and legalize all cannabis use, the entry of a third party –the government– into the market, would surely lead to inefficiency and bureaucracy replacing criminality. Therefore the news that broke today from the Colorado Springs police vice and narcotics unit that the black market has actually grown under legalization is welcomed by those who wish to support their local growers and dealers and not have to pay the massive 25% tax.

A crowd of people angry about an Ebola outbreak that has killed 86 people across Guinea attacked a centre where people were being held in isolation, prompting an international aid group to evacuate its team, officials said Saturday.
Just in case chicken “nuggets” aren’t disgusting enough, now Tyson has been forced to recall more than 75,000 pounds of the melded poultry parts because of “extraneous material”.
In my “Albany Insider” column today, I wrote how Tom King, the head of the state Rifle & Pistol Association, was critical of the increasingly angry and inflammatory rhetoric at pro-gun rallies. King said he fears that the ugliness that has popped up at the rallies is actually hurting the pro-gun cause. He also said it’s time to stop the rallies, arguing that they won’t result in a repeal of the SAFE Act. He wants to instead focus on trying to get the law struck down in the court … Continue reading “NRA Board Member Tom King Laments Rhetoric At Pro-Gun Rallies”
The March payroll jobs report released April 4 claims 192,000 new private sector jobs.
Here is what John Williams has to say about the claim:
“The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) deliberately publishes its seasonally-adjusted historical payroll-employment and household-survey (unemployment) data so that the numbers are neither consistent nor comparable with current headline reporting. The upside revisions to the January and February monthly jobs gains, and the relatively strong March payroll showing, reflected nothing more than concealed, favorable shifts in underlying seasonal factors, hidden by the lack of consistent BLS reporting. In like manner, consistent month-to-month changes in the unemployment rate or labor force simply are not knowable, because the BLS cloaks the consistent and comparable numbers.” Continue reading “Americans live in matrix of total lies”
With all the hoopla about missing airplanes, renewed wars of the cold variety, and rigged markets, it is easy to forget that America is now officially a totalitarian state of the Orwellian kind, where the population has – involuntarily – ceded all of its privacy in exchange for… something. Because it certainly isn’t security. So we are happy to provide a reminder of just this, especially since as BusinessWeek notes, it gets harder to keep track of all the bizarre ways the National Security Agency has cooked up to spy on people and governments. This may help. Continue reading “The Complete Interactive Guide To How The NSA Spies On Everything You Do”
If you asked me to list the top five enemies of the United States, my list might surprise you. Number 1 on my list is Barack HUSSEIN Obama because he is doing so much to destroy everything America has ever stood for.
The first target with the multiple holes and the splatter are the result of the 55 grain V-Max Hornady Bullets. Behind the target was an old metal cooler lid. All bullets penetrated the metal and caused the splatter on the target. That was my first trial of this round with metal behind the traget. To thin metal, clothing, skin and lightly kevlared vests, it appears to be a good round. These were loaded for 2900 FPS. I will test them on other objects soon and send in the results.
