The Guardian – by Dominic Rushe

The governor of Iowa, Terry Branstad, has called on President Barack Obama to act as bitter winter weather caused a shortage of propane heating fuel and a massive spike in prices in some of the coldest regions of the US.

Propane is used by more than 12m households across the country, according industry statistics, and its shortage has led to a state of emergency being declared in more than 30 states. Prices are up more than 17% from a year ago, according to the US Energy Information Administration.   Continue reading “Midwest states declare emergency as cold blast worsens propane shortage”

Real Farmacy

Psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms and LSD not only don’t cause mental health problems, they may actually improve mental health, say Norwegian researchers.

Those are the findings by neuroscience researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, who reported that LSD, psilocybin and mescaline not only don’t cause long-term mental health problems, but that in many cases the use of psychedelics is associated with a lower rate of mental health problems.   Continue reading “Magic Mushrooms Do What To Your Mental Health?!”

So many people in America are out of work.

While I was researching something completely different I found this.

They’re looking for a manufacturing base.

Sadly we are unable to produce our hand crafted noggs at present but are looking for manufacturing opportunities instead.   Continue reading “Nogg”

Below are emails I received that are addressing an Idaho State House Bill that is going to integrate the National Guard into Local Law Enforcement. The emails are from Sheriffs & local County Managers that came to me marked “Priority”.

I have had several conversations with others this evening and we have not heard of any other State contemplating such legislation.

I know it is a Bill that is just the beginning of in your face hostile militarization of all Law Enforcement in the United States and the removal of local LEO as being the top authority in local governments.   Continue reading “Idaho National Guard Deemed “Law Enforcement””

Now the End Begins

We have turned the dreaded corner. Life in Obama’s America has become dark and sinister as today’s story shows. The United States Federal Government, under the direct order of occupying president Barack Hussein Obama, has begun using drones to arrest American citizens without first having obtained a warrant.

Where will all this One World Government lead us to? The sky’s the limit….literally.   Continue reading “N. Dakota Man Becomes First US Citizen Arrested By Predator Drone Without A Warrant”

Have you ever Tweeted a politically subversive message, attended a protest, or signed an oppositional petition? If so, you may have a dedicated file on you kept by the FBI and/or the NSA.

With a simple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, any U.S. citizen can obtain one’s NSA or FBI file, if such a file exists.   Continue reading “Want to See Your NSA or FBI File? Here’s How…”

While Bitcoin (and Litecoin) garner the most attention in the cryptocurrency world, there are now 83 (and counting) virtual currencies to store your wealth in. Bitcoin’s market cap (at over $10 billion) is by far the highest but we wonder whether the miasma of mimickers – from Unobtainium to the ironically-named StableCoin and from ‘Philospher Stones’ to HoboNickels – serves to reduce the confidence in Bitcoin as a new method payments, or bolsters it as the clear market winner.   Continue reading “There Are Now 83 Cryptocurrencies Worldwide”

There have been endless articles and debates, on how .gov threatens our liberties.  What will we do, when they come for the guns?  At what point will people say “enough” to the Feds, obama, feinswine, lindsey graham, juan mcstain and the rest of the traitors in DC?  Oh, yeah, a LOT of discussion, as to what will be the tipping point.

Such discussions are complete crap; the .gov thugs are out there menacing us on a daily basis with the tactics, acquisitions of mil-spec toys and general intimidation tactics.   Continue reading “Authori-tah… and Vigilance Committees”

BATR – by James Hall

Any analysis of domestic fossil fuel production and use must acknowledge that independence for U.S. energy has not been the national goal. Contrary to utopian dreamers and radical environmentalists, oil, natural gas and coal are the backbone of power in any modern economy. This power extends both to the fuels themselves and to the political security that is required for any economy to prosper. Therefore, it seems counterproductive to encourage corporatist to export our own precious resources for the mere motive of higher profits. Unfortunately, their ill-conceived greed is at the core of much of our countries instability.   Continue reading “The Selling of Energy Independence”

Last Resistance – by Chris Graham

The Oxford English Dictionary defines the State of the Union address as “the largest congregation of American criminals all gathered in one room to watch Barack Obama, our first woman president, put sugar on sh#%.” The language is a surprise, but look it up for yourself.

Okay, fine, it’s not in the OED, but the editors of that dictionary are all old white men, so what do they know?   Continue reading “State Of The Union: Completely Ridiculous”

The National Patriot – by Craig Andersen

Obama was the star of his own show and a legend in his own mind.

Last night’s State of Dismay speech clearly put a fine point on THAT bit of narcissism wrapped in union, butt-kissing flattery.

With nods to manufacturing, education and job training, Obama laid out yet another agenda to keep that tingle running up the union leg.   Continue reading “Obama’s SOTU – Doin’ the American Hustle!!!”

The Organic Prepper

An unusual snowstorm in the Southeastern US left hundreds of motorists stranded overnight in their vehicles. Like a scene out of “The Walking Dead” (but with snow), freeways in Georgia and Alabama came to a complete halt in an epic gridlock.

Residents of the area were warned that a winter storm, quite severe for that part of the country, was headed their way.  But when the morning dawned without a cloud in the sky, people went blithely about their business.  Kids went to school, adults went to work, and it all went downhill in the early afternoon in a big way.   Continue reading “Stranded: Freak Snowstorm in the South Results in Epic Overnight Gridlock”

Can American States Rein In An Out-Of-Control Federal Spy Agency?

The American people aren’t falling for NSA’s propaganda.  They want the rogue agency reined in.

But Obama refuses to rein in the NSA, Dianne Feinstein says that Congress “doesn’t have the votes” to do anything about mass surveillance, and at least some judges are supporting the NSA’s spying (and it’s not clear what the Supreme Court will do).   Continue reading “States Fight Back Against NSA Spying”

World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: As we have reported HSBC has started limiting cash withdrawals. While Lloyd’s experienced ATM failures the other day which has become more common with banks of recent. Meanwhile Germany’s Bundesbank is calling for capital levy’s to be put in place, ie: seizing the money in your bank account to bailout failed governments.  In addition to this news out from Turkey, there are reports that a Russian bank has halted all cash withdrawals for a week. However, the reports all list Bloomberg as the source of this information and we are unable to document it. So please be aware that the Russian story may not be true.    Continue reading “Shock And Awe From Turkey Which Hikes Overnight Rate By 4.25% To 12%, Blows Away Expectations”

WEB Notes: Hobby Lobby has ever right not to offer contraceptives to their employees. The employees are free to buy those themselves. The choice to have sex is a personal right and with that you take on the responsibility of what it brings with it.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” – First Amendment   Continue reading “Democratic Senators to File Amicus Brief in Hobby Lobby Birth Control Case”
