The Common Sense Show- by Dave Hodges

Agenda 21, or Earth First as it is now being called, spells doom for the Republic. As millions of documents have demonstrated, its policies are the antithesis of private property ownership, personal liberty, unaccountable and tyrannical administration of justice, anti-family and anti-representative government. Yet, like a flock of good little sheep, we continue to acquiesce to the tyranny. If you community does not presently have an Lexington Green, it may be time to build your center of resistance which will stand up to federal tyranny.   Continue reading “Will Armed Sheriff’s Deputies Stop the Criminal EPA?”

House Democrats will likely support a bipartisan proposal that would cut food stamps by $9 billion, Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said this week, reports The Hill.

“If that is the figure, and if other matters that are still at issue can be resolved, I think the bill will probably pass, and it will pass with Democratic — some Democratic — support,” Hoyer said. “Not, certainly, universal Democratic support. … But I think it will pass.”   Continue reading “Hoyer: House Dems Will Likely Support $9 Billion in Food Stamp Cuts”

WEB Notes: Netanyahu currently opposes the deal which divides Jerusalem. I believe everyone understands Jerusalem is going to be the catch in these negotiations. When Christ returns, Jerusalem will be the capital of the world. But have you been taught the false Christ comes first? Guess where he will setup his kingdom? In Jerusalem. As for these negotiations I can see the United Nations stepping in and making Jerusalem the capital of the world for “all to enjoy.” This is a very real possibility. Keeping watching watchmen.    Continue reading “Abbas: Israel must negotiate on Jerusalem’s future”

An analysis of 225 terrorism cases inside the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has concluded that the bulk collection of phone records by the National Security Agency “has had no discernible impact on preventing acts of terrorism.”

In the majority of cases, traditional law enforcement and investigative methods provided the tip or evidence to initiate the case, according to the study by the New America Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit group.   Continue reading “NSA phone record collection does little to prevent terrorist attacks, group says”

Making Us All Less Safe In the Process

Norway’s largest newspaper (Aftenposten) reports today that British spies pressured the developers of cellphone standards in the 1980s to intentionally weaken the cellphone’s encryption:

The British argued that the key length had to be reduced [the longer the key length, the stronger the encryption]. Among other things they wanted to make sure that a specified Asian country should not have the opportunity to escape surveillance.   Continue reading “American and British Spy Agencies Have INTENTIONALLY Weakened Security for Many Decades”

Stop the War coalition – by Max Blumenthal

A central player in Israeli affairs since the state’s inception, Ariel Sharon molded history according to his own stark vision. He won consent for his plans through ruthlessness and guile, and resorted to force when he could not find any.

An accused war criminal who presided over the killing of thousands of civilians, his foes referred to him as “The Bulldozer.” To those who revered him as a strong-armed protector and patron saint of the settlements, he was “The King of Israel.” In a life acted out in three parts, Sharon destroyed entire cities, wasted countless lives and sabotaged careers to shape the reality on the ground.   Continue reading “The truth about Israeli war criminal Ariel Sharon that you won’t hear from Obama, Cameron or the BBC”

Sunday…. And again time for my usual rant that will both surprise you and piss many people off at the same time…

First, I want again to thank everyone for their support over the last while during a time when I was led to believe that I had a heart condition… I went for the followup this last week, and the doctor stated that my heart is perfectly fine.  There is no blockage and all the EKG and blood work readings are back to normal.   I can almost safely state that the cause of all the commotion in the first place was most probably due to one heck of a viral infection in my chest coupled with an allergic reaction to over the counter cough medication.  I am now almost over all the chest congestion and I will be back to my usual 3 times a week to the local YMCA starting this week as well….   Continue reading “Northerntruthseeker Rant For Sunday, January 12th, 2013”
