ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaskans know a thing or two about handling day-to-day activities in freezing temperatures, where below-zero rarely means staying inside. While people in the Lower 48 are shivering in Alaska-like temperatures this week, residents of the coldest state offer these five tips:

1. LESS IS MORE, IF LAYERED Piling on more clothes is not the best way to stay warm, said Staff Sgt. Zachary McGee, a Kentucky native who is a senior instructor at the U.S. Army’s Northern Warfare Training Center in Fairbanks. More clothes cause a person to sweat, and once you stop moving the moisture freezes. Instead, the secret is to dress in layers.   Continue reading “Alaskans offer tips on surviving below-zero temps”

(Infowars) – A school teacher told a first grader that “Jesus is not allowed in school” while tearing off messages reciting a religious legend that the student attached to candy canes he brought for his class, a non-profit group claims.

Each candy cane that first grader Isaiah Martinez brought for his classmates at Merced Elementary came attached with the legend that a candy maker created candy canes to symbolize the life of Jesus Christ, which the teacher reportedly tore off of each cane and threw in the trash under the direction of the school principal.   Continue reading “Report: Teacher Tells Student “Jesus Is Not Allowed In School””

“They’ve got to find a way to attach this to the global warming agenda, and they have.  It’s called the “polar vortex.” The dreaded polar vortex. Do you know what the polar vortex is? Have you ever heard of it? Well, they just created it for this week … If they can make it sound new and unprecedented, then they can blame it all on man (particularly Republicans).” – Rush Limbaugh   Continue reading “It’s Cold Because It’s Hot”

Amid an escalation of fighting in war-torn Iraq, the Obama administration announced Monday it will accelerate the shipment of Hellfire missiles and surveillance drones to the Nuri al-Maliki regime, a move critics charge will only worsen the cycles of violence set in motion by the U.S. invasion.

“The last thing Iraq needs right now is more weapons,” said Phyllis Bennis, senior fellow at Institute for Policy Studies, in an interview with Common Dreams.   Continue reading “US Rushes Weapons to Iraq Crisis It Unleashed”

Last summer, the Clerk of Court in Franklin County, N.C., Patricia Chastain discovered documents dating back to 1840 in their courthouse basement. After organizing a project with the local historical society to reserve these valuable documents, the government intervened. And now the documents have been destroyed. Lost forever.

Some records were ruined by the mold, but most were completely viable.   Continue reading “Government seizes and destroys 160-year-old historical documents; genealogists and historians are outraged”

In the midst of the holiday season Congress decided to pass the National Defense Authorization Act of 2014 or NDAA.  The bill was later signed into law by President Obama with little if any fanfare.  When this happened much of the corporate media was focusing in on invented news stories like the Duck Dynasty garbage.  What’s really sad is that it is doubtful that many members of Congress have even read the bill at all.  If they did in fact read it and voted for it knowing what was in it than there is little doubt that they have violated their oath of office and should be held accountable.  The NDAA contains a number of highly questionable sections that run contrary to the principles articulated in the United States Constitution.  Specifically, language contained in the bill appears to authorize cyber warfare operations against the American people.   Continue reading “National Defense Authorization Act of 2014 Authorizes Cyber Warfare against American Citizens”

The people who own the Too Big To Jail Banks hope that they can create an invincible army of drones and killer robots that in the future will eliminate your ability to defend yourself so there will be NO Bill of Rights. And No right to private property. They will be able to take away our pensions and to seize our homes. Court appointed referees have cut pensions by 80%. And courts have allowed banks to seize homes using fraudulent documents.

It is clear from the passage of the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and now the NDAA that the elite wants to reduce us to slavery. We no longer even have the right to life. The President has said he has the right to kill any American without a trial.   Continue reading “2014. Defending The Bill Of Rights From Wall Street.”

Americans on main street may have a bleak outlook on the Obama economy in 2014, but President Barack Obama’s Wall Street campaign donors and friends are scoring record profits off the Obamacare debacle–a reality that may further complicate Democrats’ “income inequality” message when voters head to the polls in November.

The most recent Gallup poll finds that 56% of Americans believe the economy is getting worse. For Obama’s big money backers, however, the Obamacare fiasco has generated massive profits and contracts. In 2008, the healthcare industry contributed an astounding $22,471,562 to Obama–a sum nearly three times greater than it donated to his Republican challenger. Their “investment” paid off in 2013, as the healthcare sector index gained 37.5%, making it the S&P 500’s best-performing sector.    Continue reading “Obama Campaign Donors Bag Record Wall Street Profits”

Hearts in America are getting colder even faster than the weather is.  Sometimes it is hard to believe how twisted and deranged many Americans have become.  In order for a society to function efficiently, people need to be able to have a basic level of trust in one another.  Unfortunately, we are rapidly getting to the point in America where it is becoming very difficult to trust anyone that you do not know personally.  As you will see below, the United States is rapidly becoming a cesspool of liars, thieves, murderers, perverts and psychopaths.  Please do not allow any young children to read this article.  All of this material is from mainstream news reports, but a lot of it is too disturbing for young kids to be exposed to.    Continue reading “12 Signs Of Extreme Social Decay In America That Are Almost Too Horrible To Talk About”
